Little Red
Queenie Wise - 2019
1. See “Penis”. 2. He attended high school in a small town that was as bigoted as it was boring. (Having the audacity to stand out was considered a major character flaw.) 3. He was maybe, sort of, a little bit (a lot) gay. Not that anyone knew that last one. None of that meant, however, that Peter was prepared for the consequences when he is bitten by a giant wolf during a reckless night of teenage adventure. Consequences that smack him right in the face when he is simultaneously saved and snatched by a (hugely-muscled, obscenely handsome)... mentally-imbalanced man who’s convinced that he’s a long-distance relation of Jacob Black. That’s right: werewolf. Mr. Big and Bad claims Peter is one, too, now that he’s bitten him. The only thing worse than being kidnapped by a crazy person? A crazy person who’s right. Forced to adjust to pack life in a hidden society, Peter’s not sure what he longs to do more: throttle the man who’s bitten him and ruined his life so conclusively, or throw himself on Mr. Big and Bad’s ridiculously firm… lap. Yeah, lap. Please note the trigger warnings in the front matter.
