Left me wanting more...

and as a rule I don't read first person. This book was the exception to the rule. It's good.The characters interesting enough to make this reader want more.The last interest I've had in werewolves came in the form of "Wolfen." Wallace makes the story come alive on the pages.

Fast Paced and Exciting

Reading A.B. Wallace's "The Mark of the Werewolf" is like stepping into a long novel that has hit full stride, or catching a movie after all the boring build-up has past. Not that this book doesn't have build up of its own. It opens with a bang and ends with one and there is plenty in between to sustain readers who love almost every genre. I kept thinking about the movie "Wolf" as I read this one. Not only for the werewolf elements, but for the big city atmosphere and the suspenseful moments of mystery and intrigue. The dialogue is very well written and the prose is quick to the punch yet articulate. The chapers are rather short, which lends "The Mark of the Werewolf" to be seen, at least in the eyes of this reviewer, like a movie on the page. A.B. Wallace has created her own world in her own voice within the realm of reality. Highly recommended!

Shape Shifting in N.Y. on $$$ a day!

All kidding aside, this is a must read novel for all fans of the werewolf/horror genre! Ms. Wallace's tight plotting and masterful manipulation of the setting reminds this reviewer of Whitley Strieber's bestseller--"WOLFEN." The backdrop of the Big Apple's cityscape and the rich characterization add to the blood-curdling terror. This author is almost sadistic: she reels us in and out with no mercy, causing the reader many sleepless nights! As Dean R. Koontz says, "... true suspense is achieved when the writer understands the proper focus. Too many writers create a scene where a busload of nuns is struck by an onrushing train,and then--linger there. Suspense is created by the question: where is the train going and who will be it's next victim? Ms. Wallace has obvisiously done her homework!
