Best cop/werewolf story ever

A very well written and researched story concerning the investigation of a serial crime, with a unique suspect. As a cop I find it a relief that an author would put much realism into a novel of this type. Hopefully a sequel is in the works, to follow up the lifes of the characters.

A werewolf fan's delight

I enjoyed the book a lot. Nice solid depiction of a police detective working a case, with very well developed werewolf culture included. Recommend this for people who enjoy a strong, smart female lead, and werewolf fans. Not as erotic or sensual as Anita Blake books, but solid plotting and a real feel of suspense and danger in the book.On the plus side there are two leads, the main lead is the female police detective who is secretly a werewolf, and her new partner, a very human male who's also a very good detective. Maybe too good as he gets close to his partner's dangerous secret. This is NOT a romance. It's mainly a mystery with some good werewolf culture woven in. A good read.

another excellent Police story with a twist

I've come to expect well crafted police stories with a twist from this author, and this story is no exception. It has to be said straight out that this is a "werewolf" novel, but maybe not exactly the "normal" sort of werewolves you might expect.When a series of horrible murders start happening top dectetive Allison Goodnight is assigned to the case with her new rookie partner Zane kerr. Zane soon sposts problems with the way Allison is reporting information on the case, and not being stupid himself starts to put some odd facts together about her...which could lead to putting them both in mortal danger.This is a novel that works on two levels with a chase to catch a killer and to find the truth.If you like a well constructed and written mystery with a touch of the supernatural then this book is for you.

A Page-Turner With Teeth

I've come to expect a good read from Lee Killough, and _Wilding Nights_ does not disappoint; it exceeds. All the good stuff - tight plotting, crisp dialogue, compelling action, and a set of characters that had me begging for a sequel before I'd even finished. Especially appealing to me: an inventive take on werewolf mythology, a main character that *isn't* tortured by what she is, and the large and intriguing family unit to which she belongs. Killough puts it all together in fine fashion.

combines the supernatural with the mystery

Although humans don't know it, werewolves exist right in your community. They don't think much of Homo sapiens believing that between overpopulation and war, eventually the "weres" will inherit the earth one day. They try not to call attention to themselves because the humans have superior numbers and can easily kill them off.When homicide detective Allison Goodnight, a "were" herself, is called in to investigate a homicide she immediately knows that the victim was murdered by one of her own kind. Allison and the other "weres" on the police force are trying to track the rogue down before the humans on the case realize exactly what they're dealing with. Allison also has to seem open with her new partner without revealing things to him that could call attention to her race, a difficult juggling act at best.Lee Killough is a master storyteller who combines the supernatural with the mystery genre creates a novel that is original and fascinating to read. The protagonists take on the human race adds a touch of whimsy to a serious and complex story line. Let's hope there are more novels in the future staring this refreshingly unique heroine.Harriet Klausner
