5.0
I was hesitant getting a novel that wasn’t published by a mainstream publisher. I’d heard horror stories of unedited messes and terrible prose, but this is better than many mainstream books I’ve read!
This book takes all the best aspects of zombie apocalypse fiction and removes the weakest element: zombies. Although they weren’t as ubiquitous in 2008, replacing them with a new creature leads to fun and interesting story questions that zombies can’t offer.
How will the werewolves react after they turn back?
How will the protagonists hide if werewolves can tear down nearly any barricade?
There are many similar elements too, but the change of monster, fun characters, and great action scenes make this a very entertaining read.
I’m very grateful for the lack of an obnoxious cliffhanger ending too. There is a sequel (which I’m looking forward to checking out), but the book feels complete by itself.
