Catherine Jinks is an Aussie with a flair for black humor. This is actually a sequel to The Reformed Vampire Support Group, which painted vampirism as a cumbersome wasting disease. Fortunately, Jinks brings back some of our favorite characters from that book to explore lycanthorpy with a new protagonist.

Poor Toby is 13 years old, and he has had a really bad morning. He wokeup naked in the dingo pen at a local nature reserve in Sydney Australia. He has no memory of how he ended up there. Fortunately, the cops don't make a big deal about it, but that is because of concerns that he might have a health condition like epilepsy, at least that is what they think once they clear out concerns about drugs and booze.

Toby and his mom get drawn deeper into the eerie reality when they are contacted by Father Ramon Alvarez, who was a guiding force for the vampire support group. He arrives with news that Toby's missing night was actually due to the fact that he is a werewolf ... and last night was a full moon. As you can guess, there are doubts. Those doubts start to fade for Toby the more he gets to talk to Reuben, a friend of the vampires who is also a werewolf.

Unfortunately, Toby is kidnapped by an international abduction ring that arranges werewolf fights. Reuben was an earlier victim of their's, as was his sorta friend Danny, who is a bit on the wildside. Along with Sergio, another young werewolf the foursome end up taking on the ring with the help of their vampire friends.

The book is full of action adventure, humor, and hijinks. I always find that Jinks' books run a bit longer than they really need to be, and this is no exception. It is still a good read. It would seem that she also has plans for another support group, as the book comes to a close. Remember ... zombies are people, too!
