Tommy put me off ALOT, He is so Narcissistic... I wanted to slap him, Anything that happens he blows off the handle at anyone around him other than Maya.
There wasn't too much of a story yet but a few of the characters seem interesting, will read on as i have the boxset, just hope Tommy grows a pair and stops whining all the time.
The overall story line is cute, though likely more to the likings of young teen girls. For the most part, they are pretty short quick reads. The books definitely need better editing for proper grammar and word usage - just because spell check says it is a valid word does not mean it is being used correctly (and I was not reading an advance copy) . I read the first 3 books in the series before I actually looked up the author - before doing so, I would have sworn it was written by a quite young female. Often times I found the dialog quite unbelievable. Many times the things that Tommy, the main character, said or thought were just not things you would usually attribute to a guy.
Not your average love story. I’d say it concentrates more on the friendship element. I liked the new take on vampires. Sasha was the most troublesome character, the catalyst to Tommy’s Destiny. It did feel a little like a fairytale and I’m curious about Maya’s family.
“Werewolf Love Story” is the Prequel to the series “Vampire Love Stories,” which begins with the aptly-named “Vampire Love Story.” I’m really glad I read “Vampire Love Story” first, both because it is background for the rest of the series, and because the protagonist, Josiah Reign, is to me a more appealing character than his best friend/roommate Tommy, who is the narrator/protagonist of “Werewolf Love Story.” “Werewolf” actually takes place at an earlier time than “Vampire,” because it has to explain Tommy’s situation.
Tommy (no, not Thomas!) graduated college in Theater Arts, and was a champion wrestler; so after graduation, he turned to a career in Mixed Martial Arts. Now fighting his way toward a championship, he is elated to be scheduled with a well-known contender at Los Angeles’ famed Staples Center, home of the Lakers. Unfortunately, a couple of weeks earlier, he met a girl in a bar, took her home, and had a quite enjoyable time-until the next morning when he discovers she has a boyfriend even bigger than Tommy, and is a consummate liar. The night before the fight at the Staples Center, Tommy is trying to get a good night’s sleep until he is bombarded by panic calls from this same girl, Sasha, who insists she needs a ride because she’s stranded. Well, along with lying about her boyfriend, she possesses some other even more important secrets; and one of those causes Tommy to get into a fight protecting her against three guys, in which he is seriously bitten, requiring 45 stitches. Afterwards, Sasha confesses one of her big secrets-but of course, Tommy doesn’t believe this good-looking chick is actually a werewolf.
Unlike Vampire Love Story, this actually had the feeling of a love story, especially near the end.
Even though the writing is still choppy, it seems to have gotten better. I think that because it focused on Tommy’s feelings and not on what was going on around him, it actually let’s the readers connect to him on an emotional level instead of just the surface.
Getting the before story is something that authors either put in flashbacks or leave it out all together and the only series that is coming to mind with prequels is the Redwall series, which I love.
While writing this review in my journal, I was still reading the next book but, those entries don’t really mean anything anymore since I’ve finished them and you, my fellow bookworms and bookdragons, can see what rating I gave them here on goodreads.
Somewhere, between writing Vampire Love Story and Werewolf Love Story, the author got better and I was hooked onto this series. I finished it and I really liked it.
I would really recommend people read this series instead of Vampire Love Story, it’s funny and emotional, it really lets the readers connect to the characters and really get into it instead of just scraping the surface.
Great story. A different take on The whole history of vampires and werewolves. I mean, Mani? Carni? The Tandra?It took some getting used to as its not really explained well in this book. I read before this, Vampire Love Story & loved it, then I saw this prequel which is Tommy's story which takes place I think 5 or 6 years before Vampire Love Story. Now I want to reread that book again. I was disappointed to see that at the end of this book there is another prequel due out in the fall called Entwined Vampire Love Story Prequel #2. I felt this book ended abruptly, Now I will just have to be content and read the werewolf whisper next and wait for the prequel to come out. Great love story. Complicated friendships. Tommy is one true friend. Maya seems too good to be true. I think Josiah is awesome, and knowing his fate, it's cool learning how it all started between him and Tommy. I would definitely recommend this book. Its no twilight type of vampire love story story. It's sooo much better. This author does a great job and is creative despite sticking with some of the typical vampire/werewolf legends. I'm sticking with this series and can't wait for more.
I read the other reviews with out knowing the story and I think I may be hooked, I think I may be more partial because I am missing home and home is in this book, I'm from riverside which is between San berdo and o.c. ... I knew all the streets and he'll I even knew some boxers and mma fighters growing while growing up. I can really see his character. I loved that the story took time to develop Tommy, And I liked the love story, (though I am really over the I see you and fall immediately in love with you stories) but that is neither her nor there.. I only gave it 4 stars for all the grammar errors. Now to read the series that this is prequel to.
It was an exciting read. I enjoyed reading the story from a man's perspective. Interesting take on Werewolves and Vampires. It really is not a stand alone book and is one in a series. I suggest reading the description of the book. It is a fast paced read and I am reading the second one immediately!
The supportive characters each have their own unique voices and personalities as well as what they perceive as faults or weaknesses. I like how they all compliment each other and band together as a functionally dysfunctional family of sorts.
There are sexual situations so for mature readers only.
Wow yea these series of books are jumbled up like you said on your web page I bought this book and the Vampire Love Story at same time so I did not know at first they were so entwined. I just confused and from what I have glimpsed upset about what happened to Maya cause if Tommy is not with her in the Vamp series what has happened did she die or did they break up I guess I need to read the rest of werewolf series before starting vamp so I won't be as confused or upset. So far I am liking the story
Probably more like 2.5 stars but I am rounding up for effort :). The book started out kinda bad....wasn't very impressed with the writting style. But I stuck with it, and was glad I did. It ended up getting better and better, and I began to really like Tommy when in the beginning I was slightly disappointed. I believe I enjoy the story being told from Tommy's POV versus Josiah's in the other books.
Didn't connect with Tommy, until the end. Funny, how he didn't have to worry about money, he mysteriously had money from his desceased grandfather to buy a steel cage for Sasha. Please! Problem solved the easy way. Also, the wrecked motel room and the hotel staff bought the story of a wild animal. They didn't even ask how it got in, no investigation, nothing. Sasha could have broken out during the full moon, normal doors and windows usually don't hold back werewolves. Overall, a la la read.
I love just about everything paranormal, but most stories seem like a repeat. This is not the case! Tommy takes home a one night stand who later tells him she is a werewolf. Naturally he dismisses her, but reality comes crashing down. Great read that offers a new take on vampires and werewolves. I will be reading more by this author. Great fast paced story line that pulls you in and you never want it to end. WaAR
It was written well and such details that made the story seem real. My favorite character was of course Tommy but Sasha was something else. He found true love that accepted him for what he was. I look forward to reading the next installment of this series.
I started reading this free read from amazon and couldn't put it down. Really not sure what draws me to it. It's writen in first person and usually they don't appeal to me, but I kept right on reading even when I was left with questions. I guess I'm going to have to get the rest of the series.
I enjoy a good werewolf story. Not knowing anything about the previous series I just picked this book up because it was (a) free, (b) the cover, and (c) it was about werewolves. I really enjoyed the book. The added surprise of vampires was nice. Very creative.
should be listed as a prequel to book one, or as book 1 because this book is about Tommy and how he meets Josiah's sister & becomes a wolf. A little boring.
I really enjoyed reading this book. I found it to be very entertaining, funny, and fast paced. Some scenes have you laughing out loud. : ) I love the intro of Josiah so cute!!!!!
