Weird Girls, Book 2.5
Synopsis: Meet the furry big brother that the Wird sisters never had…
Bren is a cocky, brash hound of a werewolf who loathes the idea of belonging to Aric’s pack—much less finding a mate. But Bren’s hotheaded behavior lands him in the doghouse when he defies Aric’s authority in front of his pack, bringing up a sore subject that’s bound to make the Alpha wolf’s blood boil…
Luckily for him, no one can stay mad at Bren and his wild charm for long. And when some frightening ghosts launch a hostile paranormal takeover, Bren will team up with Celia to take down the evil ghouls before they hurt someone they both love…
Review: I love this series, so of course, I was happy to discover that a novella would be published. And what a better way than to follow Bren in this novel. You know the lone werewolf who was a friend with our sisters for a long time. I admit that I was immediately intrigued, and it is always interesting to see how the author was able to write a story from the point of view of another character, mainly this one.
Bren is therefore as I said, now part of the Aric’s pack. This is something he actually did to help the sisters who are part of his family. Yet he has trouble with authority, especially when it comes to Aric, the man who broke the Celia’s heart, and he does not hesitate to remind him that fact. We thus find throughout the story these three characters for a small explosive story. Yes, because it must be said, we have this time ghosts and spirits, and I admit that I was immediately intrigued. But they are far from some innocent spectra encountered in many books. Oh no, they can interact with humans. And Bren and Celia will have to team up to face them and destroy them if possible.
I took great pleasure in discovering a little more about Bren because we knew very little about his life. We learn the reason for his lone wolf condition, something which I did not expect at all. He had a pretty terrible life and we can only hope for him beautiful things for the future. One more reason to read the next books! But we also discover the consequences of the separation between Celia and Aric and it is true that it is quite sad to see them both in this way when we see how the two deeply appreciate each other. The plot about the ghosts was also really well done and I was curious to see how everything was going to be solved, I confess.
The fans of the series will be conquered. I had a great time with this little novella. It’s a complete story that does not leave us with a sense of lack. We can read it very quickly and it prepares us for a third volume that we can only be impatient to read. If you do not know the series, I ‘m sure the sisters will convince you to start it.

It’s always such a pleasure to get a little bit more from a series we love, isn’t it? I recently read an anthology with novellas set in a series I love, and it just made me so happy!

Melissa (Books and Things)
I know when I start this series I’m going to have to have this novella. That is so good because I can usually take or leave them in a series. Sounds great.

Novellas can be a lot of fun when you’re in a series and waiting for the next book or to help you know a certain character better. And sidenote: I love the series’ name! >.< Glad you liked it, Mellian! Sounds like a real fun series!
Joy (Joyousreads)
Glad you loved this one, Melliane. Novellas are tricky sometimes but there are instances when it makes you want to read a series that you’ve never heard before.
Great review. 🙂

Bren is the best narrator ever! I can’t help but laugh and call him a jerk when he handed that note to Aric’s bimbo gf. LOL
Maja (The Nocturnal Library)
Yes! I loved getting the whole picture on Bren, he is a fascinating character and one I really wished to know more about. Another character I’m insanely curious about is Gemini.
I am just now reading the novel and loving it.
Melissa (My World...in words and pages)
I really loved Bren. He is soooo different from Celia. And to see some of the world and feelings from another pov was great. 🙂
