Summary: (from goodreads) The Pack is different. The publisher described this debut novel as "a compelling, contemporary novel about job loss, real estate, anxiety, parenting—and werewolves." At its vortex is Simon Burns, a young man thrust by joblessness into a role that he clearly dreads: stay-at-home dad. As family tensions rise, Simon is drawn deeper and deeper into a circle of other playground dads. The companionship that first provides him with much needed comfort takes a dangerous leap into the unknown. Before long, the discomforted dad realizes that he himself is changing in most disturbing ways. Editor's recommendation.
A very creative novel about not your typical werewolf, sexy and full of unexpected turns with an open anticlimactic ending which leaves you to use your imagination as to what the answers will be.
Thanks so much for this review Trudy! I thought this sounded like something I'd like and perhaps my husband. I'm going to have to look into it more now that I've seen a review. :)
