“Werecats Emergent” by Mark J. Engels triumphantly clinches the BREW Readers’ Choice Award for February 2024, engrossing readers with its gripping narrative of discovery, danger, and the struggle for survival. Through the eyes of teenager Pawly, readers are plunged into a world where the line between humanity and primal instinct blurs. As Pawly grapples with her newfound werecat heritage and the looming threat of feral transformation, Engels masterfully weaves a tale of desperation and resilience.
The novel’s richly drawn characters, including Pawly’s twin brother and her uncle Ritzi, add depth and complexity to the story, as they navigate a treacherous landscape fraught with danger and deception. Engels deftly explores themes of identity, family, and sacrifice, inviting readers to ponder the lengths they would go to protect those they love.
With its blend of action, intrigue, and supernatural elements, “Werecats Emergent” captivates from the first page to the last, keeping readers on the edge of their seats as they journey alongside Pawly and her family. Engels’ evocative prose and compelling storytelling make this novel a standout in the genre, to emerge as the BREW Readers’ Choice Award for February 2024 title holder.
