Who is Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf? (Werewolf Erotica)

Each exchange between wolf and pig features ringing proverbial phrases. The third pig builds a house of bricks. The wolf fails to blow down the house. He then attempts to trick the pig out of the house by asking to meet him at various places, but he is outwitted each time. Finally, the wolf resolves to come down the chimney, whereupon the pig catches the wolf in a cauldron of boiling water, slams the lid on, then cooks and eats him. The wolf blows down the straw house in a adaptation of the fairy tale Three Little Pigs. From a proverbial warning about strangers and sexual predators, the wolf eventually became a prominent figure in our popular culture - as both an antagonist and a protagonist.

The Wolf is coming. Traditions and Texts from around the World. Marilia Pezzato is a graphic designer and amateur artist, who also studied game design. Those are tools for her true passion: For her, there are few things as rewarding as captivating an audience and making them experience a story, Hi, I love reading about wolves I find them to be fascinating creatures I agree with you that most myths, legends and fairytales cast the wolf as a predator an archetype representing the wild and unknown which exists beyond the safety of the campfire many tribal cultures respected the creature recent discoveries in Siberian of graves containing wolf and dog bones, in some cases hybrids dating back to when humans first domesticated them show a respect and an awareness of how useful they could be as hunters and guard dogs.

In many Celtic myths and legends the wolf or werewolf was a creature which protected the tribe. Merlin was said to have a wolf companion who protected him. I think these myths speak of man's awareness of the necessity of the wolf and the necessity for man to respect the natural world and nature. We see from the introduction of the wolf back in yellowstone and how they have rebalanced the ego system there that humans understood, even in their subconscious, the necessity of the balance in nature and the wolfs role in it.

Ohhh, this was definitely some wolfy goodness Well, with one exception. I guess we will get to see more development in the rest of this series, but the slightly different approach here, with werewolves living among humans leading a 'normal' life and no one is the wiser made things very interesting and I would not call this a typical shifter story.

Everyone who might expect lots of snarling, gnarling and breaking bones while shifting might be disappointed. Oh, and the red herrings woven into it might not have been red herrings after all Well, I was - or rather still am! Granted, at the beginning I couldn't decide if I liked Cooper or not. Is it the right thing to do? Certainly not and he admittedly sometimes frustrated the hell out of me with his hot-and-cold attitude, but for someone being socially awkward and lonely without somebody he would call 'friend' I could still understand where he was coming from.

And if the sex scenes are anything to go by, I'm in for a treat here. Just want to solve this case. And go home and hug my very live cat. Every time he managed to catch Park's eye, Park would immediately look away, and when Cooper tried to get him alone he'd scamper off. Or whatever the Park equivalent of scamper was.

First of all the amount of humour and snark was amazing, and it elevated this story from a good mystery to a fantastic book. I'm very surprised I liked this one as much as I did, considering I didn't like Cooper all that much. More than once he's a total douchebag and completely incapable of apologizing, going as fa Holy moly this was a GREAT , solid MM-mystery and it is currently on sale at all major platforms, they fixed it so it also shows up at the 'zon june More than once he's a total douchebag and completely incapable of apologizing, going as far as mocking Park for having his feelings hurt.

I know they're all 'manly men' but can we please acknowledge that it's okay to have feelings and that it's okay to demand that the one treading on said feelings; apologize for being a shithead?! NOW you can kiss and make up! As for the rest of it Sure, there were a lot of people and names to keep straight, but I thought the author did a pretty good job of describing different characteristics, making it easier to navigate who was who I feel like there should be a whom somewhere there, but I can't figure it out and I can't be bothered to Google it.

I also had no clue where this was going, which I thought was amazing, considering I read a lot of mysteries and always have a guess or two. But here I was blank, so that was pretty masterful and fun IMO. I get that he's supposed to be mysterious and that we have more books coming, YAY , but a wee bit more intimate knowledge of him and his history would have been appreciated, and it would have made it easier to swallow his easy forgiveness of Cooper's 'foot-in-mouth-syndrome' and douchetastic behaviour. In the end though, even if this story only takes place over a few days, it felt like a delicious slow-burn and I bought their connection.

Another thing I want to comment on is the fact that I didn't really notice that it was a shifter book. I know it sounds strange, but it was very And it read believable to me; making this a thoroughly enjoyable read. I am really excited about the next one and am looking forward to finding out more about Cooper and his idiotic father , but especially Park and his mysterious family and background.

I can be patient with content development, but writing quality Fortunately, I have more resources at 3. Fortunately, I have more resources at my disposal than only my gut. Namely, my GR friends. At that point, the plot was slow to develop, but what was aggravating me more was the characterization of the MC, Cooper. I could not get a feeling for who he was.

The Wolf at the Door

His internal voice didn't make any sense to me, and the way he was presented was just too all over the place. When the narrative got consistent, he was awkward, adorable, neurotic, vulnerable, snarky, with a chip on his shoulder but just this side of cynical. In a genre full of devastatingly handsome, confident, and mysterious alpha men, he was so refreshing, even if experiencing his perspective was sometimes as cringe-worthy as watching Michael Scott lead a team meeting.

• Movies in Theaters!
• Big Bad Wolf (The Others, #2) by Christine Warren.

But these especially landed for me, for a couple of reasons. And when a sex scene makes me laugh and moan within the same paragraph? So this rating is really an average, because it finished much stronger than it began. I will definitely read book 2. Charlie Adhara is a great addition to the genre. Or a tie-breaker, haha. The wolf I see: The reflection of the house is his right eye picture left.

The dirt across the top is his forehead, becoming the bridge of his snout as it moves vertically down. Full paw print is his nose, or maybe a marking on his snout. Please someone else tell me you see this. View all 65 comments. Feb 24, Teal rated it liked it Shelves: At times I was bored; other times engrossed. Two last names for a name had me chronically confused. He seemed mean-spirited, which isn't an easy flaw for me to forgive.

Big Bad Wolf

But there's one thing I don't have mixed feelings about, and it's this: Charlie Adhara is a real talent, an author to be excited about. Sure, her debut novel had some pacing issues, some characterization issues, but damn can she write. Cooper's internal dialogue was quirky and distinctive, and there were so many interesting little turns of phrase that I occasionally found myself laughing out loud just at the joy of seeing something expressed in a fresh and original way.

I'm at a loss as to whether to round this up to 4 stars, or down to 3. Out of appreciation for a promising new author, I'd like to round up; to honestly compare it to other books on my shelves, I should round down.

It made me set the book aside for a while before I was ready to grit my teeth and pick it up again. So, 3 stars it is -- but it's a very upbeat, optimistic 3 stars, and I'm looking forward to seeing more by this author. Feb 03, Alisa rated it it was amazing Shelves: I'm so excited I tried this one by a debut author. This book is part mystery and part romance. I probably shouldn't compare this to another author but this reminded me very much of a Lanyon book which I love.

The story starts with us meeting Cooper who works for an offshoot of the FBI. Werewolves are real and while the general public doesn't know this our government does. Cooper and his partner investigate we 4. Cooper and his partner investigate werewolf related crimes. Cooper is new to this and is having second thoughts about being in the unit. After a string of murders take place Cooper finds himself in the middle of an interagency partnership with the Trust.

The Trust is werewolf ran and Cooper ends up partnered with Oliver. Cooper is a bit afraid and overwhelmed by his partner but as he gets to know Oliver Cooper realizes that most everything he's been taught about werewolves is wrong. The case they're working on is well done and super entertaining. The author did a great job with the setting and atmosphere.

Product details

I really liked both MC's and I can't wait to see where their relationship is headed next. There was no insta-love and it looks like this will be a slow burn type of development. This is not a stereotypical shifter book. There's not a lot of shifting or alpha type stuff. Oliver is mostly just a regular guy. There was just enough werewolf stuff to make this unique. I can't rave enough about this one and I hope you guys will give this a try. Stellar beginning to a new series. View all 8 comments. Feb 02, Cadiva rated it it was amazing Shelves: That about sums up my thoughts on this debut novel from Charlie Adhara.

A complex plot embracing the paranormal in combination with a police procedural, murder mystery and a romantic suspense element, could have been a hot mess. But this narrative sparkles, it shoots along at a pace, carefully pulling all the threads together into an epic denouement which, while I saw the protagonists coming for a while, is still fraught with the necessary tension to make you try and r Wow.

But this narrative sparkles, it shoots along at a pace, carefully pulling all the threads together into an epic denouement which, while I saw the protagonists coming for a while, is still fraught with the necessary tension to make you try and read faster to get to the conclusion. It's also, whether deliberate or not on the part of the author, quietly political allegory, dealing as it does with the distrust of something different, something powerful that can't be easily controlled or pigeonholed, and it reminded me a lot of the unrest happening across the world with minorities of race, sexuality, ethnicity, gender and so much more.

Ultimately, it's also a quiet love story, between two radically different people coming from poles apart and having no middle ground other than, at first, physical attraction to anchor them. That it becomes so much more is testament to the skilful handling of the relationship by the author. I loved these two so much, with their stumbling attraction and inability to articulate their thoughts and feelings. The paranormal is handled well, along the same vein as in the Twilight saga for me, where a whole world of other inhabitants has comfortably existed without anyone being the wiser.

I like this approach, it's always fascinated me how each of the disparate cultures across the world have 'monsters' in common which mirror werewolves and vampires, although there's none of the later in this book.

I already can't wait for the next one - but it isn't coming out until September D: This a new author and it did not disappoint. Yeah, Cooper was pissing my off for like half of this book, but he was just such an asshole to Park.

It just didn't make him any less of an asshole. Although knowing what I know now after reading the book - Park, while not an asshole, had something of his own going on that wasn't fair to Cooper. Nothing bad, just kind of like Although Park and the "Trust" as the werewolf equivalent of the FBI is called in this had good reason for suspecting what they suspected.

But Park is a really good guy, and so is Cooper. Yeah, Cooper is a bit prickly, but not without good reason - I think for any of you guys who will read this, I bet you'll feel the same as I did, but I guarantee Cooper gets a lot better ; - and I actually came to love his character by the end, love both of these two together.

And, because of the slight "enemies to lovers" thing going on this - I didn't tag it as that because they weren't exactly "enemies" and they didn't hate each other at the start. But it was so easy to get wrapped up with what is going on with that case that that was fine with me, and it made sense for their dynamic early on in the book. What seemed like a straightforward case to Cooper at first - human being killed by werewolves - turns out to be so much more complicated than that, I thought it was really cool how as the case got more complicated, Cooper's opinion's on werewolves became less bigoted and more sympathetic - and maybe that also had a little bit to do with the fact that he's totally falling for Park ;.

And I suspected so many people and that was so fun trying to figure out whodunnit, and the closer it got to the end the more I suspected someone and I was right haha! But then while one character didn't sit quite right with me, I didn't think they would end up a part of it too and that surprised me.

I loved this book. Big thumbs up from me! Loved this, and it was a great debut novel from Charlie Adhara. Jun 21, Ariana rated it it was amazing Recommended to Ariana by: Reread in September Admittedly I had forgotten quite a few details about this universe, but it all came back with a whump as soon as I started, and once I remembered who the big 'baddie' was I had great fun looking out for hints as the plot unfolded.

And there were lots! Absolutely adored the way their relationship develops. The mistrust on both sides. The chemistry neither can switch off. The tenderness that suddenly seeps into their actions. So so Reread in September Off to book 2 now! What a fantastic start to this new series! I loved pretty much everything about this: The alternative universe where werewolves exist in secret, and a special unit, the BSI, deals with werewolf related crime. Beautiful, seductive, and often dressed in white fur when in human form, female werewolves are typically depicted as sirens luring strapping young heroes to their doom.

They also seem to have a certain taste for children, upsetting the notion of innate maternal instinct, replacing it with far more animalistic ones. One feature of twentieth-century werewolf lore which also relates to anxieties about women — the full moon as a stimulant for transformation — seems to suggest that human metamorphosis into a beast echoes the female hormonal cycle.

Such features of myth-making are bound up in misogyny, as well as fear and ignorance surrounding mental illness. Werewolves — like many monsters, especially those that can take our form — hold a mirror up to us, showing us our fears and desires, the parts of us that we would rather remain hidden, buried in the subconscious. Wolves that populate our dreams and our literature, more often than not, stand in for ourselves. Most, it seems, are merely humans in lupine clothing.
