Fantasic prequel

After reading My Pet Werewolf, I immediately felt the need to understand Gunther! This book gave me the backstory I needed! My only complaint is I wish it were longer

awesome prologue

the alternate persona is written in such a vivid and visceral manner. this is a great start to "my pet werewolf."

Love this series!

Gunther by James Kaine

I’ve been looking forward to reading the next installment of My Pet Werewolf, and it definitely did not disappoint! This was a quick read / listen at 98 pages or just over 2 hours on audio. Tom Jordan does a fantastic job with the narration, as usual.

The story moves fast and keeps you hanging on until the last page of the epilogue. Give it a go and check out MPW too so you can get the full story!

Good Doctor into Evil Werewolf!

Already loving anything dealign with werewolves, this audiobook caught my attention immediately when I first saw it! Very glad that I brought this since I loved all the horror, gore, and brutality of the werewolf! I will say it started off slow and did not care for all the details prior to the werewolf massacre, but once that started, wished for more! Mr. Jordan did an outstanding job bringing this book to life! Loved his deep and at times, scary voice to match the theme of the book! Highly recommend checking this one out if you are looking for a bloody werewolf read!

Gunther’s backstory!

Gunther is the prequel to My Pet Werewolf and tells the story of how Gunther came to be.
I absolutely loved this novella with its fast pace and character detail. Each scene sucks you into the story. I didn’t want it to end, and thankfully for fans of this novella, it doesn’t as the story continues!
I listened to the audiobook of Gunther and loved every second of it with its atmospheric tension building all the way through.
