It's not easy being a girl. It's even harder when you're the only girl in a family of werewolves. But it's next to impossible when your very existence spells out the doom of your race... Meet Jessica McClain -- she just became part of the pack.
In the vein of Kelley Armstrong and Patricia Briggs, a new urban fantasy that rewrites the werewolf myth...
My review:
I loved this book. It kept me on the edge of my seat. I stayed up way into the night reading it, when I really should have been sleeping. 4 A.M. is not an appropriate bedtime for anyone. I loved the characters (even the ones I hated) and thoroughly enjoyed following them through their challenges. I became part of the story at some point although I cannot for the life of me figure out exactly when that happened. I was overjoyed with the way the story and characters evolved. I have one complaint and one complaint only... It. Just. Ends. No resolution or even partial resolution. It just stops, now I understand that this would be a great thing for a cliffhanger or the beginning of a series, which I am sure this is, but you need some kind of resolution. Even if it is just a teaser for the next book. Cliffhangers lead us to the next book. This just stopped. Kind of like this review.

Tamed by Douglas R. Brown
Synopsis:
Werewolves
are real.
And
they make excellent pets.
Owning
one of the legendary creatures is the latest fad. The WereHouse
insists their werepets are loyal, docile, and 100% safe, but what
happens when these gentle giants turn on their masters?
While
on a routine EMS call, paramedic Christine Alt is attacked by a rogue
werepet. She escapes with her life, but the encounter leaves her with
more than just scars. As her body begins to change, she discovers the
WereHouse is hiding a terrible secret, and they will stop at nothing
to keep her from exposing them.
Tamed
is a werewolf tale with a twist from the author of the The Light of
Epertase trilogy.
My review:
This book was very different than the other werewolf books I have read. This made them more like slaves rather than mythical creatures. I rarely talk about the story in my reviews because you have the synopsis but I was so upset reading this book. Science fiction readers will love this book and it has a great story concept. The characters are pretty well rounded. There are sections of it where you can get confused if you have to stop reading to go do something else. My advice would be to go back a page or two to refresh yourself if you get confused.
