Gay werewolf novels

Werewolf books often take you by the throat. Gay werewolf books are on a whole diverse level. Trust us when we say this: we all deserve fantastic reads with characters who identify as part of the rainbow.

Gender identities can extend to werewolves, too, you know. After all, the literary world can (and must!) be as spectacularly diverse as the one we live in.

Plus, just like the rest of the literary canon, LGBTQ+ works come in all genres, including werewolf gay romance novels.

But before we dive into the magical list of werewolf gay romance novels, let’s watch why gay werewolves are so interesting.

Part 1: Gay Plus Werewolf: The Interesting Part

Anyone who reads werewolf romance novels on a regular basis is alert of the numerous dominant cliches.

There are too many to mention. But let’s mention some of them: the fated mate, forbidden romance, and alpha male.

While these cliches can be great when written properly, gay vampire and werewolf books just take the werewolf genre to the next level.

Plus, after a time, don’t tropes become

Anyone who regularly reads paranormal and werewolf romances knows there are a lot of common tropes. The Fated Mate trope (one of my favorites), Forbidden Romance trope, the Alpha Male trope—too many to list. And tropes can get old after awhile, right? Especially if there isn’t a twist to them. Successfully, sometimes. A trope isn’t elderly when used by a community that doesn’t generally get to participate in the story type. To them, it’s still adj. So here, I looked at gay werewolf books in romance, especially those stories written by members of the LGBTQ+ community. I’ll be honest, it was a bit of a battle. A lot of these story types are written by straight women (that I haven’t been able to confirm as queer). Not that there’s anything untrue with it, but, well, it’s nice to hear a story about people like you coming from someone who has lived experiences like yours. Why most of the gay werewolf romances I came across were written by straight-presenting women I don’t know. It could be a variety of reasons, like this just being a niche tast

_________________________
Brian, an aimless slacker in his twenties, has been struggling to manage his transition to adulthood almost as much as his monthly transitions to a werewolf. Really, he’s not great at the whole werewolf thing, and his recent murderous snaccidents have got his best friends Nik and Darby suspicious, and caught the attention of Tyler, a hot were-entrepreneur with a start-up idea for the mythological wellness market.
Tyler wants Brian to be part of his vision, but as Brian gets closer to Tyler and drifts away from Nik and Darby, he realises that Tyler’s plans are much more nefarious than a little lupine enlightenment. To save the world from another rich boy-boss, Brian’s going to need his friends, a steampunk crossbow, and to absorb how to be comfortable in his own, shaggy, werewolf pelt…

Description

Juno Dawson's Her Majesty's Royal Coven meets a Jim Jarmusch movie. A directionless college-dropout deals with sexuality, minimum-wage jobs, lunar cycles, toxic masculinity and the everyday perils of life as a modern werewolf.

Brian, an aimless slacker, works doubles at his shift job, forgets to clean his room and lays about with his friends Nik and Darby. He's been struggling to manage his transition to adulthood almost as much as his monthly transitions to a werewolf. Really, he is not great at the whole werewolf thing, and his recent murderous slip-ups have caught the attention of Tyler, a Millennial were-mentor determined to take the mythological world by storm.

Tyler has got a plan, and weirdly his self-help punditry actually encourages Brian to shape up and to stop accidentally marking out guys who ghosted him on Grindr as potential monthly victims. But as Brian gets closer to Tyler
