The Wolf's Hour by Robert R. McCammon
5.0
“What is the lycanthrope, in the eye of God?”
Let me start this by stressing my undying love for werewolves. Lycanthropy lore is one of my absolute favorite subjects to study, so much so that I even took a college class centered around it. I’m always on the lookout for quality lycanthrope novels, and I must say—this is one of the best werewolf stories that I’ve ever read.
Another favorite literary setting of mine is WWll. McCammon marries the two so beautifully, and wartime Europe is the perfect backdrop to tell Mikhail/Michael’s story. What always elevates werewolf stories is when we can resonate both with the wolf and the man. As always, McCammon writes like he’s telling the story of a good friend, and he was right there the entire time. As I said on Twitter, finishing this book felt like saying goodbye to my closest friend. Thankfully there is another book that follows Michael, and I will be reading that immediately! 🖤
