Were-Geeks Save Wisconsin

I was so ready to love this book - from the title to the cover art to the blurb - i was stoked.
When i started reading the book my enthusiasm diminished with every line and sentence. Maybe i don't understand something underlying and or there are metaphors i don't understand but i wanted to enjoy this book and i am not. I am reading ch. 15 of 28 and every sentence is a struggle and there is hardly a paragraph that does not pi** me off.
It is hard to explain and not to spoiler so it my sound vage but the worldview portrayed i don't like and don't think is necessary; the way people are treated is not ok; there are different forms of consent and at least one form is not upheld.
There may be a way that there is a good resolution because of some circumstance in the book but that does not negate, at least in my opinion, the bad things that happen before.
Maybe i completely misunderstood what kind of book it is but i expected something fun and comedic at lwast in parts.
Can't say if i finish the book and that is a little sad.

Were-Geeks Save Wisconsin is the first book in Kathy Lyon’s Were-Geeks Save the World series. I’ll be honest and say I don’t know where to start with this book. I thought this story was going to be a romantic comedy. I mean, look at the cover. There are some hilarious moments, but this story was so much more.

When Nero Bramson’s werewolf pack is killed attempting to slay a demon, the powers that be at Wulf, Inc. know they need serious brainpower to fight fire with fire. Nero and his counterpart Wizard are tasked with finding uber-smart humans who just so happen to carry latent werewolf DNA.

Nero’s search leads him to Joshua Dyer Collier, a Ph.D. student at the University of Michigan. Josh is a chemist. He’s a thinker and research is what he does best. Josh is also just now starting to realize he's gay. The fact that Josh finds out he's a werewolf as he starts to shift makes Were-Geeks Save Wisconsin an interesting read.

There's so much going on with the story. A majority of the book deals with Josh and him accepting his new life of being a werewolf. You also get the love story of Josh and Nero. And you have Nero with his fixation on traveling back in time to save his team. The beginning of the story is a little slow and odd, as you are introduced to a strange character who somehow will worm his way into your heart.

Were-Geeks Save Wisconsin wasn’t anything like I expected. It was a fun read that kept my attention while trying to figure out what was going to happen. I should warn you. Nero and Josh have their HEA or HFN by the end of the book. However, Kathy did something pretty incredible resulting in the story ending in a cliffhanger. I should probably be upset by this but I'm not. I'm more amazed by the fact that she was able to add surprise after surprise to the story that resulted in the cliffhanger. I'm definitely looking forward to the next book in the series, Were-Geeks Save Lake Wacka Wacka.

**Personal Purchase**

This book lacks consent.

I love the way the author laid this world out, from the initial tragedy, the the stunning conclusion, Ms. Lyons gave us a book to remember.
