I was really excited about this because I love Anne Rice (having read her books all throughout middle school and high school) and I also love werewolves. It took me awhile to get through because some parts really dragged with not a lot happening or it was just more of the same. But it's an interesti...

Nope. Just nope. What the heck was I thinking. Oh my did life mock me. As I progressed further into the book at first, I thought hey! This is not bad. Reuben of course, could be worked on...maybe with a couple of bats to the face, groin...maybe hear a bone crack or two for his incessant stupidity bu...

Anne Rice was a pretty good writing vampire stories. Now, coming to wolf man, I'm expecting a juicing story. No. Not happening. There is no plot. Nothing much is happening. The only interesting part of the wolf man is him being unusually handsome and take selfie when he changed to man w...

Well, I have started off 2014 with a bang, folks!This is the first book I have ever labelled as Did Not Finish (DNF). I got about 52%, and I couldn't take the humming on and on about the religious consequences of Reuben's "gift." It was just too much for me.Full review to come... and I read a synops...

At 23, he was still a young story teller but innocent to many things. In a matter of hours that would all change in a vicious attack by a beast. With...

Not as bad as I expected, based on other reviews I have read, but not as good as I had hoped.

Anne Rice’s novels have always been something of a comfort read for me. I would spend hours after hours reading her Vampire Chronicles in high school and college, so I jumped at the chance to read The Wolf Gift. Then life caught up and long story short I didn’t get around to read my arc until now…wh...

For all the problems with this book of which there are a fair number I really enjoyed it. It was the perfect read for when I was sick and didn't want a complex story line or one rife with feats of daring do. I wanted and got a mellow, slowly developing origins story in the werewolf genre. There are ...
