Rating: 4 out of 5

This book was very well written given it was the author's first book. The rating is based more on my feelings about the gore in the book and not how well the book was written. Sorry! It was just a bit bloody for me so although it was well written and will definitely rate 5 stars from others who like this genre, I rated it based on how much I liked the story in general and in no way meant to offend the author or have anyone think it is a bad book.Some background:William is raised in a home where his father is abusive, but even worse, he is the sheriff so the family has no where to turn for help. Alexander is a werewolf who turns William so that he has a way to protect himself and those he loves. William is not a bad kid, but he does embrace his new life and immediately seeks to avenge / stop any future abuse by killing the crooked police officers, including his dad. It was just a bit blood thirsty for my taste and as much as I can understand how he feels toward his dad, I have a hard time seeing any teenager ok with all of the killing, especially with little to no remorse for taking a life.However, as I said, I think others who are ok with the above will love the book. For a short story, it was well done and did not feel rushed which is usually the case with most short stories.
