Four "Wicked Werewolf" Stars
Wolf Pack Attack!
A taste of what lies with:
Two detectives (Becky Neff and George Wilson) are on the hunt for whoever killed two policemen, but when they find out that it is not a "who" they are looking for but a "what" is when things become interesting.
Neff and Wilson find out that something with paw prints were all over the two dead policemen and they begin to wonder what kind of animals would have killed the officers. They soon learn though that what killed the officers cannot be real as it can only be a myth - has to be because what they believe to have killed the officers couldn't possibly exist or could it?
The two detectives find out quickly that something is amiss when another killing happens and what they believed to really be non-existent does indeed lean toward really being true, so they will do whatever it takes to stop the killings even if it means creating silver bullets to put a stop toward the myth of the werewolf.
Thoughts:
This was a great story and it has been literally years since I read anything by Whitley Strieber so when one of my friends wanted to buddy read this book I jumped at the chance. The story starts out right away with some blood/gore action but then drops back down to a slow pace in the story with suspense build up.
I would consider this book to be quiet horror as there is not a lot of blood/gore action. There is tons of mystery and suspense along with the main characters trying to figure out what is stalking and hunting humans.
When the werewolf myth comes up and the detective characters, Neff and Wilson start going in search of what is happening the story kicks up a notch as the suspense is driven to a fever high.
I ended up reading the last 40% of the book within 12 hours as the story became unputdownable! The story seemed to end like maybe there could be another book in the wings, but not sure as it is hard to tell with horror as sometimes the author will just end it with no other book coming. Otherwise will be looking for more books by this author as he seems to have quite a few out there.

Attached is my review from Goodreads:
I think all police departments in this country should have some mandatory Werewolf manual in their reading so if stuff happens they can just get to it :D this looks so fun!!
ReplyDeleteActually what is funny about that comment is police departments should have not only werewolf manuals but a creature feature manual for any and all! LOL This was a fun read! :)
