S.C. Macklin, in his book, Blue Mountain Wolves—Awakening, tells the fictional story of a 17-year-old boy, Langdon. The book focuses on his personal life and his relationship with his family, friends, and partners. Langdon, Tom, and Beau are classmates and friends. Initially, Beau and Langdon didn’t have a healthy relationship. Their relationship turned better after Tom convinced them that they should go on a camping trip. However, this also led to their encounter with a werewolf, and they only escaped after the werewolf had bitten Langdon. This bite turns out to be the first stage of Langdon’s transition into a werewolf at similar times in subsequent months. A lot of questions come to mind, will he infect another person? Will he adapt to this change? Will his loved ones stand by him if he opens up to them?

The characters are well and reasonably developed, and I had no dull moments while reading about any of them. In fact, I had no urge to rush through any part of the book, and I almost read at a steady pace.

Some subjects explored in this book center on werewolves, homosexuality, and relationships. An aspect of this book I was in awe of is the great rapport between Langdon and his parents. I loved that they could hold certain conversations, especially his discussion with his father, Mitchell, about his relationship with his boyfriend. The way his parents disciplined him when he did something wrong, yet respected him, is an attribute that stood out for me. It occurred to me that if all parents have this kind of relationship with their kids, the world will be a better place.

In the middle of this book, I had a feeling that this book would have sequels, and I was not wrong. The ending was abrupt and left me looking forward to the next book. The author specifically stated so, too.

This book contains several errors. Also, to be more specific, in the last line of page 248 of this book, a character named Daniel is referred to as Mitchell. This got me confused, but a second read of the sentence showed that it was a mistake. Apparently, this book needs the services of a careful editor. Aside from these errors, this would have been a perfect read. This is so because I encountered no other negative thing about this book.

Ordinarily, this book deserves a perfect rating; however, the errors are enough for me to deduct a star. Therefore, I am giving Blue Mountain Wolves—Awakening a rating of three out of four stars.

Individuals who are interested in the aforementioned subjects covered in this book will find it engaging, and I recommend it to them.

⭐️The book has been written in a very simple manner so that everyone can understand it and does not require any special aid.

⭐️Being a book of 294 pages I read it as slow as 3-4 pages a day so that I can extract maximum learning out of this book.

⭐The lead character in the story is Langdon, a kid what life's identity is' going to change.He went out traveling with his companions and there happened an unusual episode which changed his personality.

⭐Langdon is a straight guy,he has consistently been drawn in towards the contrary sexual orientation yet an episode during the excursion made him to succumb to Finn.

⭐Finn, he is a person, presently this changed character of Langdon!! where will this take him now?

⭐Till now no one knows about their sentiments except for the perusers will foster an oddity to observe the circumstance of Langdon's acknowledgment.

⭐Turn the pages to observe this truly superb fiction with an extraordinary idea.
