Werewolf Nights By Mari Hamill
3 Stars
Reviewed by Cindy
This is a great debut book by author Mari Hamill as she builds a very intricate mythology behind her plot. It is a new take on the werewolf backstory different from anything that I have read before and was quick to draw me into the plot. I spent the first half of the book wondering if Werevillians had actual werewolves among them or if the town was just drawing on its rich folklore. The authors literary background shows in this formally written story with well developed characters with a plot that is much deeper than the usual for this genre. The story does end with plenty of room for more to come from Wereville without ending on a dramatic cliffhanger.
I did have some issues with this book after so far into the book it was hard to stay in the moment of the story as the narration jumped not only POV but in time as well making it a little muddled and confusing at times. I felt that the ending of the book was quite rushed and that pacing was a problem as the Greg/Charles/Jimmy/Frank twist was very easy to see coming. I found myself quite often looking for another hidden twist that I was sure would be coming but did not. Overall this is definitely an author to try out. With a debut this crafty there is a promise of much better things to come
