I am going to get the sequel and check out some other Garton books, now that I know he is not the hack the ratings lead me to believe. If you are an experienced horror reader and you like books with gore and sex, than you will not be disappointed. During the B movie scene, when lovers are attacked at lovers lane, I thought it was too clichéd, but over all it is a five star, intelligently written paranormal horror. It is not perfect, I did think in some parts it dragged. Garton puts his own initials on the theme. It was a unique addition to the werewolf genre, which is not written about often. It had some twists that I did not see coming. CRUSHED ICE COURSED THROUGH HURLEY'S VEINS I liked this book, it entertained me to the point that I had to purposely seek out the mile markers to find out if I had missed my exit. I weigh myself everyday and worry about my weight constantly, as do most people, to act as if that is not part of most of our lives, is a sort of prejudice. Just like in society, most books, act as if overweight people don't exist. If you think, when people meet you they are not thinking about your weight, boobs, ass, legs, hair, face, muscles, tan, height, etc. Yes, the main characters might notice the weight of someone and note that in their head. First let me say, there are overweight people in the book, but they are not made fun of, they are treated with respect. SUCKS TO BE YOU I take exception to the reviewer that was upset about the fat people mentioned in the book. Ketchum and Konrath have written bloodier.

AND BEGAN TO EAT HIS FACE There is plenty of gore, blood, and intestines strung around, but I would not say this is splatter porn. I have certainly read more detailed sex in romance novels.

Yes, there is a lot of sex, that is how you spread the werewolf virus, but it is not explicit. I enjoyed this book and if anything, it wasn't edgy enough. I was worried, that he was probably a hack. Most of Garton's books with audible have sold in the single digits and have awful ratings. I have had this book on and off my wish list, for years. I like predictable westerns, warm and fuzzy children stories, nerdy Science Fiction Stories and edgy paranormal stories, with sex, creatures, gore and some inventive twists. This is an experienced writer that knows how to write. WEREWOLF? This is not a over hyped werewolf story, written by a writer, who is not really a writer yet.
