Narration During Books Camwolf (Camwolf)
"To save his lover, he must become his own worst nightmare. "Dr. Nick Sewell. Non-conformist. Werewolf. The first puts him at odds with his colleagues idea of how an All Saints College lecturer should behave. The second, bestowed upon him by an ex-boyfriend, puts him at odds with himself.
There s his tendency to change into a wolf on the full moon. And his visceral attraction to Julian Lauder, a troubled young German student. Despite his determination not to act on his desire, Nick s brutal response to seeing Julian with another man frightens them both. At first.

That explains the attraction, but it doesn t make it any easier when the tables are turned, and Julian once the student is now teaching Nick who still isn t happy about conforming to the werewolf way .
Meanwhile, reports of a strange wolf stalking the town barely register on Nick s radar until Julian disappears. Accusing eyes both wolf and human are turned toward Nick. Even with the help of friends, hope is growing as cold as the kidnapper s trail. Unless Nick gives free rein to the wolf s inhuman power

3.5 starsThe more I read Merrows work the more I quite like her voice. Her latest, Camwolf, is an entertaining and enjoyable werewolf romance. The story takes a chance with a prominent female narrator but for the most part this works very well. The typical werewolf fight for dominance and animalistic behavior is handled well, contrasted beautifully against a mild mannered college of intelligent but reserved occupants. Some of this shift feels jarring and never quite hits an easy pace but theI liked this one but prefer the tongue in cheek humor in the Plumbers Mate series.
I enjoyed the books concept, and the storyline was definitely attention-grabbing. An older professor pining over a handsome student, yes, please. Add in some paranormal shifters, and I want to happy dance. The characters are very different from anything Ive read. The alpha in this genre are usually dominating and possessive but not in the same way as this alpha. It was very refreshing. The author did not stick to the general alpha stereotype. She gave him flaws and they were well written. I
2.5 stars.After reading J.L. Merrow's Muscling Through and Pricks and Pragmatism, both of which are a bit outside-the-box, I picked up Camwolf in hopes that it would have the same fresh, unexpected feel. Instead, it turned out to be a very standard m/m werewolf book in which instinct and a mating bond replace actual relationship development between the main characters. I never felt a real, emotional connection between Nick and Julian, and I was frustrated by how much of the book they spend
A wolf story with good writing and a bit of originalityWarning: This review might contain what some people consider SPOILERS. Rating: 7/10PROS: - Merrow creates a nicely rounded picture of academic life at Cambridge without relying on too many physical descriptions of the city or the colleges. The depiction of Cambridge in this book is atmospheric, not just visual.- There are a few interesting details about Julians werewolf life that are unusual and creative.- Merrows writing typically has a
4,5 stars.A werewolf m/m romance with some unusual twists."What the hell was so bloody fair about a fair fight anyhow? It didn't make you any more right if you won. It just meant you were bigger and could hit harder. Or, as if might be, had sharper teeth."Nick is a professor and a werewolf - turned by an ex-boyfriend, without a pack and very few ideas what being a werewolf entails. He has a serious crush on one of the students, Julian, a beautiful young man, he admires from afar. The story
Darker than I expected from JL Merrow.Nick was a hard character to like at first and it was hard to connect to Julian as we never got his POV. Having the second POV being a supporting character seemed strange at first but having the POV of someone not guided by their wolf was essential and Tiff was an instantly engaging character. In fact the cast of supporting characters were far easier to like than the leads. (Even the grumpy policeman, and yes, I do want to know his story) I didn't really
