Werewolves of Manhattan #6
Julio's Wolf
Julio Reyes has had a hard life. Orphaned at fourteen, he ran away from a group home to avoid rape but wound up being an independent prostitute in NYC. He has a life plan—go to school, become a stylist and open his own salon.
Etienne Daurensbourg is one-hundred and thirty-nine years old and fears he’ll never find his Mate until his friend Alexei introduces him to Julio. Julio is Etienne’s Mate but before he has a chance to court Julio, who is a human high beta and therefore stubborn and independent, Julio gets knifed and is forced to let Etienne provide him with a home and help to recover.
Pack problems arise that may force Etienne into the pit. Will Julio be able to love Etienne despite the fact he is a loup garou?

Spoiler Ahead This was book 6 in the "Werewolves of Manhattan" series. Julio Reyes who we met in book 5 he is Donald's friend who helped him on the street they were both rent boys although Julio didn't have a pimp and wasn't on drug's. Julio has been through a lot in his life his parents died when he was fourteen he was in a group home were he was picked on by the other boys when he ran away he was picked up and held by a child molester. Etienne Daurensbourg is one-hundred and thirty-nine years old and fears he’ll never find his Mate until his friend Alexei introduces him to Julio turns out Julio is Etienne's mate. Julio wants to go to beauty school he wants to open his own saloon and with Alexei and Donald's help he is doing just that. When he meets Etienne he feels a spark, but Julio isn't looking for love. Etienne is so happy to finally find his mate that he waste no time protecting him and its a good thing because Julio is attacked in his apartment by a former john. This was a really good book. I love reading this series each of the Alpha mates have went through a lot and are their for each other. Etienne is not only dealing with his mate being injured but from one of his pack members issuing a challenge. Julio is considered a high human beta and he was a little harder to confines that Etienne loved him. This was a really good book. This book was well written with no errors in grammar or spelling. I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series I want to see who Julio friend Richard will end up with.

Reviewed for Divine Magazine
DISCLAIMER: This is the first book in this series that I've read.
This book had some good potential, but it fell seriously short. I can see where it was going, somewhere along the lines of Kelly Clemmons Druid's Lodge and Liv Olteano's Leader Murders series. However, it was full of issues that I just couldn't look past. My three rating is for the potential, but if I was judging based on a one off experience, I'd lower that to 2 stars.
This is the first time I've read A.C. Katt and I can't say I'm inspired to read more. To be honest, it's a personal clash, which is part of why I gave it 3 stars. Her writing style just isn't something that works for me.

Standalone?
In my experience, books with a series title on the cover but no order number, are generally books within the same universe but that should be able to be read in any order as standalones.
I was told that this story could be read as a standalone. But, that wasn't true. I was lost from page one. A whole page mentioned events that I had no clue about, mentioned people I'd never read/heard about and indicated that the MC Julio has had a huge part in someone else's story. Even the end read as though this was one of those series where you have to follow each book onto the next. There is no way this could be read out of sequence and be understood.
Perhaps because of this, I was unable to connect with the characters or the story the way I should have.
For me, there was no chemistry between the MC's, which was disappointing. They never got to know each other or attempted to understand who they were, and I had trouble with Julio's dark past, which was often ignored and minimalised within the plot and the impact that it should have had on him. What I can say is that I did eventually grow to semi-like and become interested in Julio's story. I thought of DNF'ing it at one point around the 20% mark, but after 50% the story took off and began to form something more along the lines of the paranormal world I'd been expecting. That side was a little too thin, because it meant there were no physical wolves or transformation.
In the end, nearly the 70% mark, it began to feel more like Julio felt true affection for Etienne, beyond the whole Mate thing. His feelings for Etienne became more obvious, but it still felt so much like Etienne's only real affection for Julio stemmed from the Mate bond. The fact that we were told that they had been reincarnated countless times to fall in love with each other was more of a “tell” than a “show”. There was no recognition from either of them that these feelings existed between soul to soul.
The editing needed some work. There were numerous issues, from spelling/grammar, plot gaps and issues with continuity and consistency. There are a whole heck of a lot of info dumps. Unfortunately, just because they're in dialogue form doesn't negate the fact that they are in fact info dumps. This happened continuously throughout the novel – things that we didn't need to know were given paragraphs of explanation, things that were important were ignored or glossed over in little more than a sentence and there were several instances of “explanations” being given in paragraph form, with the amount of detail that makes your head spin.
There are multiple POV, which didn't work, because they didn't really make sense. I understand the importance of having the dual POV of Etienne and Julio – our MC's – but I don't understand the need for the two police officers in the Prologue, or in the many POV of various wolves throughout the story. Not even one of them reads as necessary, because they don't tell us anything that we aren't told in the dialogue anyway.
The writing itself is very choppy. Short, to the point sentences that tell you nothing in any sort of emotive, contemplative, detailed way, in amongst the long, drawn out sentences within the info dumps. It felt so much like the beginning of the story wasn't important, because the author wanted to get straight into the “I have a mate” part.
The constant location/time marks at the beginning of each scene and POV are unnecessary and annoying. They often made following the story confusing. One minute I was beginning to get immersed in the story, then I read the location/time of the next scene and wondered if it was still Friday or if the scene before was another day. Yet, the most likely case was that it was the exact same day, the exact same place and merely a different POV in the same room!
There were a lot of issues within the plot, things that made it impossible to understand the story, the characters and the direction the overall series arc was taking. This was mostly because it was impossible to understand what the “world” of these Werewolves of Manhattan were really like, without having experienced the first five books.
The medical aspects were limited and misinformed in places (as I feel I can say, having spent the majority of my life in hospital). Although, I know how the author did their research, since I had hyperlinks to WebMD within my book. A lot of the misinformation or wrong information came from the fact that, as Alpha's, they got special treatment, but it was still frustrating, since it wasn't necessary in the first place.
When it comes to Julio, I found him as our only source of information. Some of that, however, was in the wrong place or already spoiled. The “big secret” that Julio kept for 49% of the story was given away in the blurb. Just...out there, already. It made the final big reveal really disappointing. No one EVER asked for Julio's opinion, compliance or agreement. Ever. Not when planning a wedding, not about where he was going to college, not on where he lived.
For me, Etienne was the epitome of every horrible thing that an Alpha male has ever been. Julio was the only one with a backbone, but he was so persistently made out to be a child and had his serious concerns and feelings marginalised that it was unbearable to see him falling for this ridiculous wolf relationship. There was no affection, no growth, no love and no chemistry; only a Mate bond that superseded all of that.
The MC's never got to know each other or attempted to understand who they were, and I had trouble with Julio's dark past, which was often ignored and minimalised within the plot and the impact that it should have had on him.
The wolf world didn't make sense. If wolves don't have kids naturally, because the majority of them are gay, then that Alpha Bitch – and isn't that just lovely? – is logically the only one who has kids. Sure, let's go with that for now. But if that's true and all she has are girls, then where do all the men come from? How do so many gay male wolves exist? After 36% of everyone being human, we get one sentence of transformation. It just happened in a shimmer and Etienne was a wolf for two seconds! The only other wolf action was a head transformation for less than a page.
I took real issue with the constant way that the Mates were degraded throughout the story. Examples: Donal was called hysterical for sobbing, after Julio was seriously injured. Yet, Etienne was the one being hysterical and no one batted an eyelash about it. He even predicted, in some magical coincidental way, exactly what Julio's real injury was. He cried at least once in every chapter, yet Donal was the one called hysterical. Julio had some misplaced guilt that weighed heavily on him and suddenly it meant he needed a psychologist? Just like crying after being stabbed meant he somehow needed anti-depressants?
~
There were events and dialogue that didn't make sense. I'm going to do this in bullet point form, just to keep it simple and straight to the point -
Lots of fancy terms: High Beta, “loup garou proscription on sex” etc: that weren't explained until about 50% into the story. So I spent half of the book having no clue what the continuous mentions of these words meant. It took 36% to find out what “loup garou” meant, after having the word being used at least 100 times before that. (Or, at least, it felt like it)
“Once I found out he was Irish, I figured he was for you because he saved Donal and you saved me,” ← This made no sense, until at least 85%, when we were informed that all Mates are Irish with green eyes. Before that, it was only ever hinted at. Oh, and there was NO mention of any of the characters actually BEING Irish, except by comments like these. No accent, no history, no heritage.
There are so many Alpha's that it was hard to keep track of who was who. I had to ask myself if every single wolf was an Alpha in this world, because there was nothing explained about the universe until Julio asked questions at 50% and even then I didn't find out the true nature of the Alpha's until about 70%.
Nearly Every. Single. Page had food! Julio had just about an entire page worth of food description in each chapter. Paragraph upon paragraph were wasted on detailed lists of food and drink ingredients that were completely unnecessary. Those massive word counts could have been put to better use on character development.
Characters being introduced like this → “Gabriel's Marceau and Marc's Anton.” It irritated me that characters were possessions or dismissed.
Things that bugged me the most :
Doctors would never recommend a hand sanitizer over washing hands.
Billy Joel's song is called “Just the Way You Are”. Not “I Love You Just the Way You Are”. It took two seconds to confirm on Google, even though I already knew that.
The “big secret” that Julio kept for 49% of the story was given away in the blurb. Just...out there, already. It made the final big reveal really disappointing.
No one EVER asked for Julio's opinion, compliance or agreement. Ever. Not when planning a wedding, not about where he was going to college, not on where he lived.
After 36% of everyone being human, we get one sentence of transformation. It just happened in a shimmer and Etienne was a wolf for two seconds! The only other wolf action was a head transformation for less than a page.
It felt so much like every character – even those supposed to be in their 100's – was nothing more than a hormonal, horny, emotional wreck of a teenager.
Even the rent boys were judgy about rent boys. There wasn't one positive mention of having been a prostitute, outside of Julio saying that he chose that life (though it was continually pointed out that he only “chose” it because being used for his body was all he knew) even going so far as to judge them with the label “sperm receptacle”.
Every woman is basically a servant or a breeding machine.
One huge final complaint -
The Krav Maga stuff is something that I so desperately want to use stronger language for. I mean, seriously strong language and capital letters. The whole shebang. Because, here is how it is described in the book → “Julio put out his leg and tripped the wolf using his own weight against him.” Now, here was how it was described later → “Krav Maga, did you say? […] Knowing how to trip Xavier saved your life.” No. No. No. No. No. NO. NO. NO. NO. NO. Do you hear that? No! This is not Krav Maga. It had NOTHING to do with Krav Maga. He...and hear me here...STUCK HIS LEG OUT! Like any other person on the planet might do, to trip someone up. It had nothing to do with his so called training in Krav Maga. And, just how proficient can a 14 year old be in Krav Maga anyway?
Another thing that annoys me just as much? The continual reference to “street language”. As though any swear word belongs only to hookers and not to a “respectable” person. I'm pretty sure you know the two words I want to respond to that with. They begin with F and Off.
~
Overall, I would have enjoyed the story more if it had been entirely focused on Julio and we were given more of an insight into his life, thoughts and feelings. He was the only relatable character, though I did feel a small affection for Donal, who was his best friend. I was disappointed that we didn't get to explore his character further or in more detail, as he was a real star.
I felt like the Mate/Wolf aspect was used to limit the need for a lot of details and explanation. Because the author perhaps thought it was unnecessary, due to it being book 6. Regardless, because I haven't read those previous 5 books, I was left completely in the dark about a lot of the important details.
The story could have been fantastic – the plot was good, could have gone in a really incredible direction and, with some real attention to the characters, it could have been a tear-jerker, a heart-tugger and a really emotional read that inspired me to care enough to read the next book and go back to read the previous five. Without that detail, there was nothing to make me connect to the characters or the story. For being a werewolf story, we see a wolf once, for two seconds. There is very little real exploration of the “wolf” aspect of the story and I needed more of that.
So although the potential was huge, the multitude of things that frustrated me and were lacking were even greater. I can see other people enjoying this, as I could have with a little more understanding and description provided for both characters and the world building, but I needed that extra connection. I needed detail, romance and chemistry. I didn't get that, in the end.

Much like the review I gave for the previous book, I realize how important Sean's role was an integral part of Julio's healing, Kane's gift needed more play in this story as Julio was subjected to horrible situations from the moment he found out about his parents deaths. I am amused by the relationships that are blossoming between the Mates as well as the competition that has begun amongst the kitchen staff to outdo each other over the boys weekly lunches. I am also finding it amusing to watch the Alphas' quirks begin to show themselves as they create friction with their mates or step into the relationships of the other Alphas.
June 10, 2017
When Donal was brought into the family he brought his friend Julio along as well. All the mates and Alphas hope that maybe Julio will be a real part of the family. Etienne is happy that it is his turn but Julio is a much stronger person and things are won't be as easy. A crisis gives Etienne a way into Julio's life and from there things begin to move forward. Of course there is some issues that the men must deal with but things start to get real.

Loves it
I love these author, but I have trouble with why she decided to put dates and times on her paragraphs like a diary. Them the scene where the Alpha Marche sits there with everyone at the table eating and talking graphically about how Julio and Etienne should screw, which interested me that Julio didn't get embarrassed and who sit around talking about how you screw somebody. To much repetition over Alexei and Donal and thanking Julio for saving him. I am not complaining I love these books but I have to get use to the quirks. I am anxiously awaiting Richard's story now.

I waited with increasing anticipation for this book to be released, despite the date on this review and the marked read column. I purchased this book as soon as it was available on Amazon.
I loved this story, continuing the theme from Alexi's Mouse we have another story of a desperate child turning to prostitution to survive. Julio might not be a Loup Garou but his heart and courage is bigger than any Alpha. This book continues the foreshadowing of a mate by introducing the next mate for the board of director's. I for one am eagerly awaiting January 20th and the release of Wolf's Whistle!

Right after they meet Julio is attack in his apartment and almost dies .Julio stays with Etienne until he is well . While together they fall in love .

I love this series. They are all great stories. I have read all of them several times because I enjoy them so much. I will read this one at least two more times while I wait for the next one. Awesome author.

Good book
I can't wait till the next book. I enjoy how all the books seem to connect with each other. I also enjoy all the problems the alphas and the mates have.

Happy new book
Yes that works as a whole new level of the series. The first new series would be great with narration.

The trouble with loving a series is I can read the books faster than A.C. Katt can write them.
