Family, Pack

Family Pack, Book 1

By: Michael Jasper

Narrated by: Maxwell Zener

Tommy Roling does everything humanly possible to raise his infant daughter, Corinne, the right way. But a half year out of high school, Tommy finds himself a single parent as well as flat broke.

And with every full moon, he can't fight the urge to strip off his clothes and run wild through the pastures outside town.

So when a stranger shows up slashed to death the day after Tommy's most recent full-moon run, Tommy must resolve this murder, or he could lose what little he has left. That includes his innocent baby girl, Corinne, who just might have inherited his werewolf gene from him.

Coming of Age Werewolf Tale

Tommy the hero of this story is a young dad with a control freak mom, a happy drunk dad and a freeloading brother.

Tommy was a star athlete with with a bright future and his girlfriend becomes pregnant. Tommy also has a secret; he's a werewolf, and his mom has not properly trained or educated him in regards to his nature, Tommy's mom is also a werewolf however his deadbeat older brother and dad are humans.

Tommy.s mom is constantly preaching control and responsibility to Tommy. She redefines the concept of tough love. Too bad she never got on Tommy's brother's or her husband's butt about control and responsibility. Maybe she see those two as lost causes.

At first the book drags a bit and I had a hard time getting into it. Keep with it tough as it does get really better as the novel progresses.

Baby mommy abandons Tommy and their baby Corinne. Tommy becomes very ill and ends up in the hospital without insurance (his mom took him off the family insurance when he became a daddy). Then he gets fired from his dead end minimal wage job, then there is another family loser, his uncle Carl who has arranged an adoption and a generous adoption fee for Tommy's baby and he's pressuring Tommy to go along with his arrangements.

Fortunately his estranged aunt Mel saves the day and Tommy finally has the support, guidance and werewolf instruction that he needs and starts maturing into an intelligent, responsible alpha leader.

Besides Tommy's coming of age and his maturation there is another exciting, suspenseful story in the book involving another scheming dangerous purebred werewolf pack. Also there are some surprises in store regarding Tommy's deadbeat brother Bert, as he begins to mature and he is more than what he first seems.

One final note: the narration was well done by a very talented narrator.

Family with a twist

Any additional comments?

A different twist on the traditional paranormal "werewolf "story. Entertaining, interesting and enjoyable book.

Having a dysfunctional family is hard enough, add the fact that your family has a secret and dysfunctional doesn't even begin to cover the issues you have to deal with. Non communication in a family can be deadly especially when that family has a secret they need to keep hidden.

It was a really nice change to have a male father figure stepping up and taking on the responsibility of being a single dad. A very young single parent. He almost makes the biggest mistake of his life, but it has a life changing effect for his daughter Corinne and himself. Needing to keep himself and his daughter safe he finds the help he needs with his aunt.

This is the first time I have listened to Maxwell Zener narrate a book. He did a good job with narrating the story. Nice voice and smooth even narration. His character voices were good although there is not much difference between his male and female voices. His growling wolf voices were really good. I would definitely listen to him narrate other books.

Developing Family Structure

Now I now how a family works, not really. This story depicts a real family's trials and errors through some developing circumstances that occur. Mom's try to protect, Son's need knowledge, Aunt's explain stuff, Mom gets pissed and people are a pain in the ass sometimes.

I liked the way Michael Jasper put this all together with the twists and turns through out the whole book. You always seem to be saying "No way, man." That's what keeps a book readable. I like the way it all melds together at the end and then BAM here we go again. Can't wait for the next one.

This story is about Tommy Roling and his infant daughter Corrine, family issues and he is trying to come to terms with being a wolf.

There is also an anti wolf group in this story.

Maxwell Zener did well with the narration.
