Resumen del Editor

When a protective young man finds a vicious solution to his troubles, will he save his family or unleash a deadly nightmare?

Brady Bennett can’t shake his guilt. Blaming himself for his dad’s fatal hunting accident seven years prior, the eighteen-year-old doesn’t trust his cruel stepdad and worries for his twin sister. But his suffering takes a strange twist after fleeing into the woods from a nasty school bully, only to see his attacker get ripped to pieces by a savage beast.

Fearing no one will believe his wild story or that they’ll blame him for the boy’s death, Brady sets out to capture the murderous creature and use it for his own ends. And when the monster transforms back into a man desperate to stop the carnage, the teen promises to free him in exchange for one final gory deed.

Will Brady’s plot to take out his enemies spill the blood of innocents?

My Pet Werewolf is a disturbing horror novel. If you like resourceful but flawed heroes, dark themes, and good intentions gone bad, then you’ll be gripped by James Kaine’s merciless tale.

excellent story

very enjoyable and well read with a pleasant tempo to keep me interested through out the story.

My Pet has teeth

This is great creature feature. I really enjoyed the morally gray characters who were not trying to be good but just doing what they thought they had to to protect their family. I hope this turns into a series.

Compelling coming-of-age horror tale

Excellent writing combined with the right narrator make this a tense, thrilling, and entertaining horror novel with a dash of high school drama. I have a pretty high tolerance for horror, but parts of it were pretty scary. The first person perspective from 18-year-old Brady is a great writing choice. The main characters are interesting and have depth and intelligence, especially Brady and his sister Brandy. I enjoyed the combination of monster and human psycho horror in a rural New Jersey setting. Brady is a normal young man faced with surprising situations and decisions to make.

Although I wouldn't want to listen to it with a weak stomach, the occasional blood and gore is only a little bit gratuitous. The story contains minimal sexual content, almost closed-door type of scenes, which is very tasteful. There is brief mention of sexual assault. I liked the detail that Brady always practiced gun safety and stored his guns under lock and key.

The only tiny flaw in the story was the slightly confusing timeline in the first couple of chapters when Brady was jumping from memory to memory without clear transition sentences. Thankfully after the first two chapters the story is completely and continuously set during Brady's senior year of high school. The plot was excellent, and I did not detect any plot holes or loose ends. I am really impressed with the high quality of the writing that quickly immersed me in the story, and I didn’t want to take stop listening.

The narrator Christopher Harbour delivered an excellent performance. I was so impressed that I will look for his other work. His character voices were all distinctive and believable, including those of the female characters. Christopher Harbour had great pacing and was marvelous at all the action scenes. He really brought the story to life. His normal narration voice sounded young enough to be the thoughts of 18-year-old Brady.

I requested and received a free audio copy via the publisher, and I voluntarily wrote this honest review. #TheFlockVIPReviewTeam #NorthernLakeAudio

extremely well written.

For me it started out slow and I was thinking man I hope this gets good fast. Immediately after that the next chapter everything got flipped upside down.

Great idea.

The narration was superb and the plot decent with an unexpected twist. Could've used a little less violence but that is to be expected worth a werewolf novel. Overall, I really enjoyed it as my first audio book purchase and makes cross-country travel bearable.

Best werewolf story in a long while

The fact that a werewolf and a psycho are both in the same story. Also how easy it was to fallow the story and get into the story since the beginning

My Pet Werewolf

Okay, this book was a trip. Man if you want a good thriller/ horror story you will love this on. from beginning to end it was so good. it has a few plot twist, and just when you think everything is going to be okay something happens. the end was so good though. I kinda wish there was more.

My Pet Werewolf

a well written story that is a good addition to the werewolf genre. a must read.

The best werewolf story I’ve read in years!

Seriously, this is an amazing take on werewolves and a coming of age story. It was a complete blast from start to finish. I’m now impatiently waiting for Gunther to come out on audio!

WOW! NEED MORE!

This was so well written that when you reach the end you'll be bummed it's over.
