Big Bad Me is a very enjoyable book, with its own type of humour alongside the more gory moments, this is different to any other book I have read. Evie is a very good character. From living her life not knowing about her being a werewolf to being thrown into the world of werewolves and vampires made this very interesting to read. I can relate to Kate in a weird way. I always feel like my sister will end up getting hurt doing something stupid. Seeing Kate try to stop Evie from running off made a lot of sense to me. Kevin may have been my favourite character in the book. His tragic backstory made me really like him and also his love for Evie was very well-paced throughout the book. Asher and his gang are very menacing. Asher fits very well into the role of the bad guy of the book but it is possible to understand what made him like this. The pacing is very good. No part feels drawn out to make the book longer or skimmed past to get to more important parts. The ending is very open and could easily lead to more books with the characters going against different monsters. I do hope to see more from this book series and I await the next one!
