Description

FROM THE BEST SELLING AUTHOR OF THE SUPERVILLAINY SAGA

Jane Doe is a weredeer, the least-threatening shapechanger species in the world. Blessed with the ability to turn furry at will and psychically read objects, Jane has done her best to live a normal life working as a waitress at the Deerlightful Diner. She has big dreams of escaping life in the supernatural-filled town of Bright Falls, Michigan, and her eighteenth birthday promises the beginning of her teenage dreams coming true. 

Unfortunately, her birthday is ruined by the sudden murder of her best friend's sister in an apparent occult killing. Oh, and her brother is the primary suspect. Allying with an eccentric FBI agent, the local crime lord, and a snarky werecrow, Jane has her work cut out for her in turning her big day around. 

Thankfully, she's game. 

Set in the same world as Straight Outta Fangton.

A laugh-out-loud, roller coaster read with a plethora of serious moments, I WAS A TEENAGE WEREDEER features multiple STRONG female characters [including the eponymous protagonist] and much good vs. evil, both contemporary and historical.


Jane Doe is an eighteen-year-old deer shifter in Michigan, in an alternate North America in which Vampires came out, then shifters. She is also partly indigenous and partly Canadian, daughter of a Shaman, who eschews magic. But Jane is more Gifted than she believes, and her talents are essential to save her community.

I loved this! I love Jane and Emma, and I at least could tolerate most of the characters. I loved Lucien, and I can't wait to see where that goes, especially with Jane and Alex. I loved the world building, and the shifter information. It felt natural and not just something that was being told to us as readers out of place, it genuinely felt natural in Emma and Jane's conversation's. I loved the little nods to real life included, especially some celebrities being shifters. The family relations with the O'Henry's were a bit confusing, but not too difficult it ruined the story. The ending was a bit odd, I felt. It felt like it was naturally ending and then....it didn't? And there was a whole nother ending to read? It was a bit off, and I feel like it could have been a bit more streamline, but it was still good overall. I really did enjoy it, and I can't wait to start reading book 2.
