Throw Me to the Wolves by Lindy Ryan & Christpher Brooks: Review

 

And I'm back with another supernatural horror tinged book. I seem to be getting a few of those at the moment which is fantastic! This one was sent to my me by the lovely folks of black Crow PR and black Spot Books in exchange for an honest review. Anyway let's delve into this werewolf tinged witchy adventure.

Plot time: Years after her family were murdered by a witch and Britta was turned into a Werewolf, Britta Orchid is brought back into her small town by the murder of the witch. With all eyes on her and werewolf politics leaving her on her own Britta and Officer Labaye need to work out why the witch is dead and how to save the soul of britta's long dead little brother.

This book was a blast. A fun violent witchy romp that brought to mind Anita Blake mixed with Edgar Cantero's Meddling Kids. This book has elements of Southern Gothic that give it a really old school feel along with a fun and fresh take on werewolves.

Britta is a character you'll come to root for. she comes from the long line of flawed horror heroines, a grum goth werewolf with nothing to lose and no allegiances to anyone. she pushes away anyone who gets too close and makes every descision worse! I loved her. Add to that Labaye being the sunshine to her grump and we have a good little pairing going on.

A lot of the witchcraft and description of pack politics really did bring me all the way back to the Anita Blake series. If you were a fan of those books you are going to love this. A lot of the horror elements were really well done and some of the witches you meet will stay with you in particular the lovely Mam Byrdie. Easily one of my faviorite side characrters in the whole thing.

.Overall this is a fun horror romp and the start of a great new series with a heroine you will root for and with the cliffhanger of this one you will be champing at the bit for book two!!
