I almost hooked up with a werewolf… but before we got to third base, he dragged me off to jail.
Apparently, he's the leader of the pack in town.
The fact that I’m an illegal blood wolf—a vampire/werewolf hybrid—doesn’t help my case.
And he didn't appreciate me accidentally biting him when we were kissing, either.
Luckily, or unluckily, he seems to think I'm his true mate, which means he won't let anyone hurt me.
But he also won't let me go.
Between his possessiveness, my need to be near him, and the vampire clan hunting me, one thing's becoming clear:
I won't be able to avoid my werewolf forever.
The Art of Avoiding Your Werewolf by Lola Glass and dual narrated by Emilia Bauer and Nick Mondelli is book one in the Wildwood series.
I was scrolling through my library app (hoopla) and came across this title. It looked and sounded cute just from the title and cover.
Madd and Love had a bumpy start. Both have trauma and Love doesn’t trust easily, but they find a way to work. The banter between them was fun.
I would have liked more history and a better understanding of the dynamics between supernatural races, governments, and humans; especially how blood wolves were treated in the past. Love is completely ignorant of all of this and I also didn’t feel much less ignorant than she did.
I enjoyed the inner dialogue between wolf and person and the dialogue between the wolves themselves. The world-building is a little weak. The existence of the blood wolves left something to be desired. The nick names I was not fond of and would have preferred the full names.
Audio: This novel is dual narrated. I enjoyed the narration and voices. It was nice to get different POV’s (Love and Madd). It’s a very quick and delightful listen!
Rated: 3 Stars

Love the cover, but sounds like it didn’t live up to everything you would have liked. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Lisa thanks for checking out my review for The Art of Avoiding Your Werewolf.
Sounds cute. I love the cover!
Cover and Title lured me in. It was cute.
It does look cute. Too bad the worldbuilding was under-developed and left you curious about some things.
It was an ok listen. It would have been nice to have more world-building. Not a bad listen, but won’t be visiting again and probably won’t continue the series.
Thanks for visiting!
