REVIEW: Ghoulish (The Alpha Chronicles #1) by Joel Abernathy


Colt Jager has always found his best friend mouthwatering, just...not the way he does now.

Out of all the ways Colt thought he’d be spending his twenty-fifth birthday, sinking his teeth into a random stranger definitely wasn’t on the list. Neither was falling headfirst into a hidden world of superhuman beasts who claim he’s one of them.

Awakening as a ghoul is like going through puberty all over again. Mood swings? Check. Raging hormones? Check. Awkward physical transformations? Check. Blurred lines between bloodlust and lust of the good old-fashioned variety?

That last part might be uniquely ghoulish, but if he doesn’t figure it out, his next dinner date with Jason might be the last. Then there’s the family of elite ghoul-eating ghouls who want to put a permanent end to his second life. As if he needed another reason to hate birthdays.

Note: This is an MM Urban Fantasy series with romance elements unfolding over the course of the series, not an MM romance.

My Review



This was such an enjoyable read. I couldn't put it down once I began. Right from the start, you're inside a whole new world that Colt has just discovered. Instead of discovering a new relationship with his best friend, Jason—as he has always wished. Colt is thrown into a whole new world of blood, gore and death. 

I was so engrossed in his fear and his confusion of how he suddenly was this whole other being. The Politics behind the greater power that rules them all was also really intriguing and left me wanting more when it was over. 

I cannot wait to see where Colt ends up. At the moment he might be but a small pawn in a grand game of chess but soon I'm sure he'll take the board and claim the Queen or in this case, be King. 

Twistedly delicious urban fantasy with a dash of romance.
