Quite possibly the greatest piece of literature ever penned.

[Kevin Carey · Rating 3 out of 5]

I love Shea Serrano. I love the way he markets his books. The style of his writing. The Secret Email Club. His want to write stories he wants to read no matter how bonkers the idea is. I love that he’s experimenting more and more with fiction. Shea Serrano is one of those people who you not only admire but want to emulate.

Werewolf Lawyer is a bonkers concept. A lawyer but for werewolves. A legal drama. Cool. Easy sell.

It’s a fun read too. Shea did his legal homework. It’s not my favorite thing he’s ever written (could have probably used one more edit) but the back half of the book really cooks.

It’s a funny concept that takes itself waaaay too seriously and that makes it all the more fun. Let Shea write whatever he wants to write and I’m going to read it every time.

Werewolf Lawyer is exactly the wild, hilarious, and heartwarming ride you’d expect from Shea Serrano. This book blends the absurdity of a werewolf navigating the legal world with deep, meaningful moments that will catch you off guard. Serrano’s signature humor and knack for creating relatable, lovable characters shine through, making this an unputdownable read. It’s part legal drama, part supernatural thriller, and all-around fun. Whether you’re a longtime Serrano fan or new to his work, Werewolf Lawyer will have you laughing, cheering, and surprisingly emotional by the end. Highly recommended!

First, who is not giving Shea his five stars! C'mon...

Serrano's been creeping into fiction over the years and this was his first real "book" in that area and man, another swish as it really was entertaining as he made the concept of a world where a small number of people are just werewolves seem normal, then created a whole Perry Mason like murder case in this world with a crack attorney, a suspect who sure looks guilty and multiple red herrings before the case is busted open by one small detail.

Great quick book (and the physical book itself is terrific - special pulpy like paper to make it seem like the detective books of a bygone era).

Here’s the thing.. there’s nothing I won’t read that Shea Serrano writes. The way he writes. The Witt. He inspires me more than he will ever know. And I’m going to five star the shit out of any book I have a signed copy of. 😘😎

But in all seriousness the story was entertaining from the start. I love me a wild concept that hooks you and brings you along for the ride. It’s a short read too, which makes it all the more sweet and savory.

I’m giving this a 3.5. I love Shea and his writing. This was a good blend of being way too serious but also not serious at all. It felt like reading a small novelization of a phoenix Wright Ace Attorney game. Sort of bonkers with a rather Law & Order predictable plot, but just an overall fun time. I’d love more Thomas Atwell content in the future with maybe just a smidge less dialogue.

[Conor Daley · Rating 5 out of 5]

He absolutely did it again.

He gets a little bit better with everything. The characters feel a bit more fleshed out and his tone (which is his greatest strength as a writer) delights as always.

I can’t wait to see what comes next from him because eventually it’s going to be something so special that we’ll feel like fools in hindsight for not seeing the progression.

It’s around two hours, end to end, like watching a great movie. And just like a great movie, Werewolf Lawyer is pure entertainment.

I strongly recommend you buy the audiobook, brilliantly narrated by Shea and his wife.

Given 100 books by Shea and I’ll read 100 books and ask for the 101st.

[Lucio Vasquez · Rating 4 out of 5]

A brisk courtroom drama set in a world where werewolf transformations have become exceedingly mundane. I had no idea what to expect from such a concept, but I must say: this was good!

Pure entertainment — predictable at times, but it earns bonus points for the novelty of being set in Houston.

[Michael Sauls · Rating 5 out of 5]

It’s wonderfully written and has you on the edge of your seat the whole time, like anything Shea Serrano writes. Shoutout Thomas Atwell!

Bought this as soon as Shea Serrano put physical versions of the story on sale (as opposed to the usual pdfs) and I’m so glad I did.

I love a good courtroom drama, and I love Shea, so this was two great tastes that taste great together. Who doesn't love a whodunit?

Short, easy, and fun read

THIS MOTHER FUCKER SHEA DOES IT AGAIN

[Bill · Rating 4 out of 5]

Did it keep my interest? 4. Shea delivers a fun, ridiculous novelette. And for only the second time this year I read a book with my eyes!

Did I enjoy the topic? 4. Such a stupid theme. So happy Shea Serrano is in our world to deliver bad ass absurdity.

Was the dialogue realistic? 4. It sounded like a real trial. Or at least a trial I’ve seen on television. Except it involved a werewolf. Humanizing the werewolf so that they blends into society was great.

Would I recommend to Jen (smart, discerning reader)? 3 Our son Turned me on to Shea’s writing, so I’m thinking if he told Jen this was a family book club, then she would read it. If I suggested it, no way.

Would I have recommended to my Mom (read for entertainment)? 3. See above. Gramma loved her grandkids. If Joey recommended it, she’d read it.

Quality of narrator? NA! I can read! I can read!
