Synopsis
A werewolf? I kept stumbling over that word; it made no sense to me. How could I be a werewolf? Werewolves didn't exist. When Tobias Vandevelde wakes up in hospital with no memory of the night before, he is told that he was found unconscious. In a zoo pen. The doctor rules out epilepsy and Toby's prank-loving friends are just as freaked out as he is. Then the wild-eyed Reuben turns up talking in hushed tones about Toby being a werewolf. Reuben's pale, insomniac friends seem equally convinced and offer to chain him up every full moon. They also claim to be part of some sort of vampire support group. This has to be a joke - right? It's only when he's kidnapped, imprisoned and in desperate need of rescuing that Toby begins to believe them...
Review
The Abused Werewold Rescue Group is a very funny book with Tobias Vandevelde (Toby) being slap bang in the middle of the action. Catherine Jinks has very cleverly told the story from Toby's very bemused point of view with excellent dialogue to go with the action.
The plot starts of slowly but builds up fairly quickly to a page turning story which I enjoyed very much with it's many laugh out loud moments.
A good teenage urban fantasy to recommend.
