This werewolf story has a unique take on how werewolves came to be, and it is a take I enjoyed. This story starts out with a bang as you get introduced to a teenage Angus (MMC) who is learning to be a Hunter. His village is then attacked by werewolves and his family was killed.
While I loved the story, I will admit that it took me a bit to warm up to Angus. His inability to listen to those who know more than him and his pride cause most of his problems. He always acted before he thought of the consequences. I know he was a teenager, but it was a little frustrating that it took so long for him to mature into the type of person he wanted to be.
I liked the writing style in this book, and it was easy to follow. The action was well paced, and the story flowed. There were some twists and turns that added to the suspense on whether the Hunters would be successful against the werewolves.
I definitely want to read the next book in this series as I want to see where the authors take the story and if Angus continues to grow into the leader and man he needs to be.

Pay heed when the lad cries, “Wolf!”
There will always be monsters in the world, so we need more people trained for dealing with them. And not only professionals – we all need to learn basic skills so that we have ‘a safer humanity’.
Following in the authors’ footsteps, I shall selflessly share some sage survival advice found throughout this story:
Live by the Code.
Share knowledge.
Join a community.
Have enough bullets.
Be ruthless, as needed.
Avail yourself of the advantage.
Finish your chores when Mama tells you to.
Fave line – so true IRL:
‘You can’t hunt monsters without facing them within yourself.’
‘Are you ready to hunt?’

This is a fantasy book where the monsters are hunted by a guild of monster hunters. Each guild specializes with a certain type of monster. This story is about August who wants to join the werewolf hunting guild. This is his story about how he joins the guild and what happens while he is in the guild. This is a great book with character building and story twist.
