Fantasic prequel

After reading My Pet Werewolf, I immediately felt the need to understand Gunther! This book gave me the backstory I needed! My only complaint is I wish it were longer

awesome prologue

the alternate persona is written in such a vivid and visceral manner. this is a great start to "my pet werewolf."

The absolute perfect sequel

I loved My Pet Werewolf and could not wait for this to come out on audio. It did not disappoint. I cannot wait for more of Kaines work!

fantastic prequel

Gunther is technically the prequel to 'My Pet Werewolf ' ( which is phenomenal, by the way). I was lucky enough to have the author provide a code to check out the audiobook, and it did not disappoint. I absolutely loved Gunther in the main novel. He was my favorite character, and I really enjoyed being able to hear his story and learn just how he came to end up chained in the cave. While it's a prequel, I personally think its best to read how they were written, novel first.


Fantastic as an audiobook, the narrator tells this man's tragic story beautifully.

Love this series!

Gunther by James Kaine

I’ve been looking forward to reading the next installment of My Pet Werewolf, and it definitely did not disappoint! This was a quick read / listen at 98 pages or just over 2 hours on audio. Tom Jordan does a fantastic job with the narration, as usual.

The story moves fast and keeps you hanging on until the last page of the epilogue. Give it a go and check out MPW too so you can get the full story!
