Beware the Wolfman by Francine Pascal, Kate William
4.0
A nicely done book to wrap up a three part miniseries. The mystery keeps unfolding - until it doesn’t. 😂 This book was a total escape, with some twists and turns that the reader may see coming. This GenXer enjoyed the distraction from modern day politics.
Love and Death in London by Francine Pascal, Kate William
4.0
The second book of a three part mini series, felt exactly like a middle book. Multiple storylines happening at a breakneck speed. Honestly it was bit of a slog at times and needed a bit more werewolf, but some subplot storylines were able to wrap up with a bow. This book was still a grand distraction from life and I have high hopes going into the third book. 🐺

Started this in the spring and never finished it. A little humor, a little wit, a lot of tips and tricks for writing and life, and a ton of truth. Essential for any Writer’s library.

Absolutely loved this story and found a new favorite author! Feminist, spicy, sacrificial, and timeless.

Written before The Stranger, this book carries some familiar elements and with it questions about the meaning of life and our existence in it. Some of the themes were “of the time” and don’t carry the same weight as today. In fact, in light of recent world events, it may have been bad timing on my part. Trigger warning for depressive themes, death, and self-serving misogyny.
