Dnf, 2 stars since it might somehow get good at the end
Awful clunky writing, shallow one dimensional characters, boring plot.

An interesting start to the book series to be sure. The dialogue is engaging but at times it seems like the story drags on. And sometimes the characters could be fleshed out a little more. They seem very one-dimensional at times.

Because I love Wolf Pack the show, I thought why not read the book it's based on? Turns out the similarities begin and end on "teen werewolves." So on that front, it was kind of disappointing. As for the book itself, it's middle grade, so a very easy read. Though the lack of background information on the main characters made it very hard for me to connect with them. I feel like I finished the book with more questions than answers.
I won't rate this because I am way too biased to properly judge it. But it was all very "meh" to me. I will just stick with the show from now on.

It was chill and okay. Not too bad or stimulating. I quite liked how they dealt with the situation. Props to Nobel for that.

I learned about this book because of the new Paramount+ show. It's been advertised alongside the Teen Wolf reunion movie, so OF COURSE I had to give it a shot.
The show premiered last night and I managed to get 60% of the book read before the premiere. I had big feelings going into it that they would be nothing alike. And boy was I right! The pilot was great, I can't wait to finish the season! The book, while cute, was less compelling.
I know that I never would have picked this up if it weren't for the Teen Wolf of it all. This is a middle grade book wrapped up in a YA package. And with none of the nostalgia of having read it when I was younger, I didn't have much connecting me to the characters.
In saying that, for what it is, it's good. But what it is, is a coming-of-age story and a vaguely environmentalist manifesto. Werewolves are cool. I love a good werewolf, and these werewolves are cool. Their origin story is really cool. But I felt like I was dropped into the third or fourth book in a series. Like why does everyone just throw around the word lycanthrope like it's the preferred term when you see a teenager turn into a wolf for the first time ever? But it was short and sweet and ultimately decent.
