Mason - This sounds like a very different kind of murder mystery. Very interesting! Your review is detailed and intriguing, too : ).
ReplyDeleteThank you Margot. It is a very different kind of murder mystery, but one that keeps your attention from beginning to end. Don't let the werewolves throw you off. As you read, they were seems normal.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun read! I'll have to check it out! Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy Jemi. I think it will be fun for you.
ReplyDeleteMason,
ReplyDeleteYou wrote a great review. I loved this book. And you're so right Terry Spears makes you believe her characters are just as real as you and me. And the story is interesting, intriguing down to the last word. I loved this book and all the Hunky wolf characters. And yes, I have taken up howling and would love to find a man just like Hunter. LOL!!!Your Native American Pipes is good background music for this story too.
Thanks diva donna for your kind words. The music does fit, doesn't it. Hunter and Tessa are wonderful characters that I would love to see brought back in another novel.
ReplyDeleteAll her Characters come to life and she makes you think of them and close friends. She's working on a story idea for Hunter's Twin Sister. So Tessa and Hunter may be revisted too. She writes really great books. She's a real favorite writer of mine.
ReplyDeleteI have read every one of Terry's books so far and am anxious for this one. Her take on the whole werewolf idea is extremely unique. I love it! Thanks for writing such a great review, and thanks for supporting Sourcebooks authors. :)
ReplyDeletediva donna, I'd love to see a book about Hunter's sister. She is a unique character to say the least.
ReplyDeleteSharon, thanks for stopping by. I agree, Terry does have a unique approach to the werewolf idea. I enjoy reading anything by the Sourcebook authors. :)
Thanks for the review. I LOVE murder mysteries with twists, and also unique sounding plots - like this one.
ReplyDeleteThe Old Silly
It is unique to say the least Marvin. Hope you enjoy.
ReplyDeleteSounds interesting! Wow. It's got a little bit of everything.
ReplyDeleteI haven't gotten into the paranormal side of mysteries yet (just read one, although I really enjoyed it.) Thanks for the tip.

Mason - Just wanted you to know there is an award for you on my blog.
ReplyDeleteElizabeth, I hope the word werewolf doesn't keep readers from checking the book out because it is so much more than that. It has the suspense and drama that adds to a mystery.
ReplyDeleteMargot, thank you so much. You are so very kind. I'll stop by.
