Confessions of a Werewolf Editor

review 1: 2.5 starsKillian Marsden is an editor of romance novels. Brett Wolfe is sent by his evil fiancée to force the publication of her book and stop the publication of a book that was clearly plagiarized from her book. Or that’s what she told Brett. Lo and behold, it turns out Brett and Killian are mates. Killian is only half werewolf and rather disdainful of werewolf culture. Brett is about to enter into an important political marriage and was having no plans to ever explore his bisexuality. Brett has no plans to walk away from his mate. Killian has no plans to walk with his mate. He can’t really understand why he agreed to a date with Brett! Then Brett turns out to actually be a nice guy. Ugh. Things just get more complex from there.To put it bluntly I didn’t really enj... moreoy this book. It was a fascinating premise that I felt was horribly executed. I love explorations of tropes. This felt more like an expose of clichés. The fiancée was a horrible character with no explanation given for her behaviors. Pointing out how clichéd her behavior was didn’t make her something other than a cliché. Unfortunately, it wasn’t only the fiancée that felt like a bad cliché to me. I just found myself repeatedly frustrated.I do feel this book wasn’t 100% bad. It was funny and many people will find it very funny. The world building was interesting. How people who are between cultures fit into either one or another is always a fascinating topic.People who love humor and shifters, especially shifter clichés and tropes, will enjoy this book despite the fact I found myself disappointed.
review 2: So much freaking fun!!Adorable, cliche ridden, sexy and so freaking sweet! Filled with elaborate metaphors, awful prose I couldn't help but thoroughly enjoyed the entire story.Very tongue in cheek the author threw in just about everything found in the shifter genre. Really, except for knot tying, male pregnancy and the Alpha secretly craving bottoming it's all here. You may roll your eyes and think 'nothing new here' but you would be so wrong. The author (new to me) did an amazing job of not only including all the usual clichés but put them all together into an amazingly funny yet very sexy story.Very recommended and can't wait for the next book in the series!! less
