Maybe 1.5 stars, mostly because I reserve 1 star for books I can't finish. I'm not even sure what the genre is: romance, mystery, boring? The premise is werewolf Riley runs a dating service for supernaturals called Get a Mate, which may be the stupidest name for a business ever. She lives with her roommate above her office and can't get a longterm relationship thanks to a gypsy curse. My issues: The writing is random at best. It's supposed to be funny, I think, but it falls well short. Mostly she makes me think of that hanger on kid at your lunch table in high school. Always trying to fit in and be funny but really pathetic in the end. The dialogue is pointless and horrible too. It never adds to the storyline, and just bogs things down. I skipped huge portions without missing a beat. The werewolves are horrible. Riley turns into a werewolf whenever she's stressed. That's fine. Somehow these werewolves have sort of hands, and yet paws. They make human gestures, can speak and stand upright but still somehow resemble big dogs. I keep picturing wolfman and it's not appealing. Reading about Riley growing hair and than shaving, or worrying about this every 30 seconds is annoying. I get it. You're furry. That's gross. Riley by the way is dumber than dirt. She's convinced disgruntled customer Lily is making threats and such. She never once thinks it could be anyone else, despite lots of evidence to the contrary. Seriously? And in the end (spoiler) she's saved not because she figures anything out or does anything for herself, but because she's pretty and the menfolk protect her. The love interest is boring. BORING. He's so one dimensional I'm afraid he'll fall over and she'll discover the guy she's been trying to make out with is a cardboard cut out. He's apparently gorgeous and maybe smart. There's no charisma, no relationship building and no tension. Then things hit a snafu and she pretty much forgives him immediately because he's hot. Don't get me started on her best friend, who appears to have a multiple personality disorder. She's brave, scared, timid, ballsy, witty, stupid, in love, a slut and everything else, all within paragraphs of each other. She's also immediately forgiven for the same snafu. This book is shallow, boring, predictable and weak. I'm sure there will be people out there that will loves this book because it's an easy, light read, if it doesn't bore you senseless as you imagine throttling stupid, flaky Riley. Don't get me wrong, I love the early Stephanie Plums, so this sort of things should be right up my alley, but it's just unpalatable for me. This would be considered a Fun, Quirky Book for some. Rylie Cruz runs a matchmaking business fixing up Werewolves, vampires and others.

This was a fun, fast read. How to Date A Werewolf is the book that introduced me to Rose Pressey. I have since read her other books. Ms. Pressey does an excellent job keeping the reader entertained. Her characters are easily liked and you care about them, (even the ones you meet hiding out by the trash cans). This author has a great sense of humor that shines in her writing. If your looking for something fast and fun to read, pick up any of her books. ( )
