Tommy the hero of this story is a young dad with a control freak mom, a happy drunk dad and a freeloading brother.
Tommy was a star athlete with with a bright future and his girlfriend becomes pregnant. Tommy also has a secret; he’s a werewolf, and his mom has not properly trained or educated him in regards to his nature, Tommy’s mom is also a werewolf however his deadbeat older brother and dad are humans.
Tommy.s mom is constantly preaching control and responsibility to Tommy. She redefines the concept of tough love. Too bad she never got on Tommy’s brother’s or her husband’s butt about control and responsibility. Maybe she see those two as lost causes.
At first the book drags a bit and I had a hard time getting into it. Keep with it tough as it does get really better as the novel progresses.
Baby mommy abandons Tommy and their baby Corinne. Tommy becomes very ill and ends up in the hospital without insurance (his mom took him off the family insurance when he became a daddy). Then he gets fired from his dead end minimal wage job, then there is another family loser, his uncle Carl who has arranged an adoption and a generous adoption fee for Tommy’s baby and he’s pressuring Tommy to go along with his arrangements.
Fortunately his estranged aunt Mel saves the day and Tommy finally has the support, guidance and werewolf instruction that he needs and starts maturing into an intelligent, responsible alpha leader.
Besides Tommy’s coming of age and his maturation there is another exciting, suspenseful story in the book involving another scheming dangerous purebred werewolf pack. Also there are some surprises in store regarding Tommy’s deadbeat brother Bert, as he begins to mature and he is more than what he first seems.
One final note: the narration was well done by a very talented narrator.
