I was in the mood for a quick read and had just gotten what appeared to be the first part of the story from Amazon. At the end, there was the option to sign up for the newsletter to get the second part. I have to say that with the way the book ended at the first part, I don't think I would have continued to read it if I would have had to pay for it. It was clear that it was unfinished and almost felt like a gimmick to get me to sign up for the newsletter. BUT, in the end, I did end up getting the entire book (part 1 and 2) as a full book from the newsletter, so that was good.

The story had an interesting premise. Tracey was an Omega who was forced to pretend he was a Beta because his father made him He didn't want to disappoint or embarrass his dad, so he lived a lie. He finds Aaron very attractive, but he happens to be an Alpha, so Tracey isn't allowing himself to get involved. The twist at the end of part 1 (middle of the whole book) was annoying to me His friend Jess needs help and we are led to assume that he helps her, but there isn't really any definitive explanation of the repercussions of his help. The story finally starts to go in a direction where we can see Tracey start to fight for himself and his right/desire to be happy, but it ended rather abruptly in yet another cliffhanger. Grrr. I don't like cliffhangers, especially when there are 2 in a short story/series. I'd be interested in reading the next part of this if it finishes and we see Tracey get his HEA, if there is in fact going to be another part, and if it finishes without another 10 parts.… (more)

A quick note:
The writing is immature and the editing is simply not there. The plot is nothing new except for one bizarre twist in the middle, and that twist is so shocking that while you feel horrified and repulsed you can't stop reading. I personally was mesmerized @.@ (still is - lol).

This book is drenched in double-entendres, and the first thing that comes to mind is sex related, since our main character is Josh-the-Jock:

(NSFW, 18 ) The two boys are in the shower, Josh is checking Andrew's penis, while Andrew grabs "golden shower handle". Wait, what? I can interpret that in more way than one! :)

"It’s the last swim session before the (frat) party. The last hard Saturday morning set that makes everyone stiff till Monday." Italics are mine. But you see where I am going :D

Few passages left me, not a shy person and not a prude, with my jaw hanging. The level of creativity in some descriptions stunned me. I can safely say I've never read anything like this before. The book is greatly entertaining and certainly memorable. I am adding a star for that.

Now, a few silly parts:

Not sure what a werewolf was doing in the swimming pool. Turtle would have made much more sense, but you can't have a wild mind-blowing sex with a turtle. I get that. At least Josh wasn't a werecat, I mean can you imagine? lol

Cream - C.R.E.A.M. - carpet in a fraternity house with 20 boys. Kid you not! I had to read that paragraph twice.

Sex with no lube and no preparation. Poor Andrew, OUCH!

Twenty year old students are drinking beer. The frat house is well stocked on wine, beer and food. Like real food, not pizza and ramen noodles. There is a wine and food cellar. How well off are these students? Where is this University? O.o I want to know which country this is!

Bottom line: if you are into weird and bizarre things (like PL Nunn weird and bizarre), if you can put up with bad editing and if you are willing to laugh with the characters instead of at them, you might find this story not so horrible. Although even good humor might not save you from the shock of a mind blowing werewolf sex-scene ;)… (more)
