![Spell of the Werewolf: An enemies to lovers paranormal gay romance by [J.R. Loveless]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51944oXo55L.jpg)
The overall feel of the story was pain and heartache. Justin aches so much over what he did during the three nights a month he shifts into a monster and he's finally finding his breaking point. With the support of his friend he's able to keep the monster caged, but his constant search for freedom from the curse puts him in the path of a hunter. When they strike a deal it's what Justin feels is best for him and the world, but there's a lot about his world he doesn't know even after two centuries.
His volatile meeting with Vincent is interesting in that there's obviously a story behind the hunter and though we don't get his background until well into the story, his mystery is one that keeps me wanting to know more. I did find his utter hatred strange because his beginning wasn't nearly as horrific as I expected, painful and bad and unfortunate, but not horrific enough to warrant such blind, all-encompassing hatred. Quite a lot of the story leaned heavily on the animosity between him and Justin before any change occurred.
I can't say I felt a lot of connection between the MC's nor between me and them and the ending isn't even really an HFN either. There are major things that need a sequel, but despite laying a foundation for one, I have no clue whether we'll get one or not. So with no real resolution, quite a few questions and connections left unanswered, and a flash-in-the-pan climax that was a bit anticlimactic, I'm on the fence whether I'd want to continue if this did become a series. Overall it was an interesting story with a really captivating premise and the bones for the story were pretty good, I just wasn't wowed as much as I hoped I would be.
