Review: Big Bad Wolf - Suleikha Snyder

Big Bad Wolf by Suleikha Snyder
My rating: ⭐⭐⭐ stars

Big Bad Wolf is book one in the new Third Shift series by Suleikha Snyder. The story focuses on main characters Joe Peluso and Neha Ahluwalia. Neha is a junior associate who also has a background in behavioural psychology. She is given the task of analysing the recently incarcerated Joe who is on trial for a sniper attack on the local Bratva and the reasons why he did it. Mixed in with the story is the introduction to paranormals who have burst onto the scene during the Darkest Days which has now pitted humans and paranormals against one another.

There is a lot going on in this book (hence it being the first book in the series). Firstly, we have the will they/won’t they relationship between Neha and Joe. Then we also have the paranormals themselves and world building. Even though this book is set in 2016, it is a completely different world from the one we know and has huge urban fantasy vibes going on. We also have the story on how Joe became what he is and the background information on that.

Overall, this is a good start for a new series, with some insta love characters who go to and fro with their feelings, but they are still pretty likeable and help shuffle the story along. The world building is good if a little long, but the story does get there in the end. A different take on the werewolf genre, but still a good read.

ARC received for a fair, honest and sometimes long review. All opinions are my own. 😊
