I never know how much input I should give when reviewing things in a community setting. Most of the time I just list things off the top of my head, so just take everything I say with a grain of salt because really, I don't have the credentials to back up what I say other than the fact that I have read a fair amount . That and I'm reviewing this as if this was a first chapter of a book as a whole. What I like about the story so far is that the characters have a lot of unique elements among them. The extremely jaded warlock who would rather cling to a semblance of normal before more change ensues, the play on 'puppy love' werewolf that has the loyalty of man's best friend, and a vegan vampire. The only thing I'd like to point out about this is that it felt a little rushed. Rather than feeling of world building, this first chapter felt more like a chapter of introductions. Think of it like a bottle of really good wine vs a tray of shots of liquor - they both get the job done, but the latter is more for the end result rather than enjoying the ride. Nitty-gritty stuff: Dialogue. Mmmm - descriptive beats vs dialogue tags and commas vs periods. I don't really want to get into this because it's not really my place since I'm not an/your editor or whatnot, but I'm pointing it out because maybe no one else has pointed it out before. Whenever I used to write stuff online, I cherished critiques that would help me become a better writer. But as a reviewer, I noticed that some would see such as negative criticism instead. So this is all I'm going to mention on this unless you further inquire. Overall, I hope you continue because I think the story has potential. I do enjoy reading gay theme fantasy ebooks, but just like here, they aren't overly abundant. Usually I'm more partial towards magic(k) and dragons, but this take on werewolves and vampires is intriguing enough to pursue further.
