LoveReading Says
Has the title and cover captured your attention? It should do, as this often lighthearted and irreverent novel comes with deep and meaningful undertones. Werewolf Brian hides his lupine side by avoiding intimacy and partying hard until he is tracked down by an entrepreneurial werewolf who wants to form a pack. This smart story attacks with precision, spearing prejudice and encouraging friendship and a confident sense of self. The main character Brian caused frustration and snorts of laughter in wonderfully equal measure. The supporting cast are rather fabulous, and the feeling of inclusivity hugs the pages. Please please tell me there is more to come, the ending suggests there could be, and I’ll be queuing up for it. Bored Gay Werewolf by Tony Santorella is a funny, bold, and wonderfully wise novel that I am recommending as a Liz Pick of the Month.

Bored Gay Werewolf Synopsis
Readers love Bored Gay Werewolf
'Feels like Buffy meets Euphoria'
'With a title like Bored Gay Werewolf, you bet I'm gonna wanna read it'
'Sarcastic and hilarious'
'One of the best gay werewolf books I've ever read!'
Brian, an aimless slacker in his twenties, has been struggling to manage his transition to adulthood almost as much as his monthly transitions to a werewolf. Really, he's not great at the whole werewolf thing, and his recent murderous snaccidents have got his best friends Nik and Darby suspicious, and caught the attention of Tyler, a hot were-entrepreneur with a start-up idea for the mythological wellness market.
Tyler wants Brian to be part of his vision, but as Brian gets closer to Tyler and drifts away from Nik and Darby, he realises that Tyler's plans are much more nefarious than a little lupine enlightenment. To save the world from another rich boy-boss, Brian's going to need his friends, a steampunk crossbow, and to learn how to be comfortable in his own, shaggy, werewolf pelt...
