“The Abused Werewolf Rescue Group” by Catherine Jinks is a captivating novel that explores the world of werewolves in a unique and intriguing way. The story revolves around the protagonist, Tobias Richard Vandevelde, who wakes up in a hospital with no memory of the night before. His mother reveals that he was found unconscious in a dingo pen at Featherdale Wildlife Park. Toby initially assumes that his two best friends are responsible for his predicament until he discovers that they’re just as bewildered as he is.
The plot thickens when a mysterious character named Reuben appears, claiming that Toby has a rare and dangerous ‘condition’. Toby soon finds himself involved with a group of sickly insomniacs who seem convinced that he needs their help. It’s not until he’s kidnapped and imprisoned that he starts to believe them and begins to understand what being a paranormal monster really means.
The novel is a sequel to “The Reformed Vampire Support Group” and continues the theme of exploring the less glamorous side of supernatural beings. In this installment, Jinks focuses on the world of werewolves, who suffer from an inherited genetic condition that manifests itself at puberty.
The book has received mixed reviews. While some readers appreciated the clever idea and solid sense of humor, others felt that the story was brought down by an overdose of disbelief on Toby’s part and the chaotic second half of the story. With so much shouting and running around, it’s easy to lose track of the actual plot.
Despite these criticisms, “The Abused Werewolf Rescue Group” offers a fresh perspective on the werewolf genre. It takes the glamour out of the supernatural and presents a more realistic and relatable portrayal of these mythical creatures. The novel is a testament to Jinks’ ability to create engaging and thought-provoking stories that challenge conventional narratives.
