This review is from: Prey #2 (The Wereling) (Paperback)

The Wereling trilogy is by far one of the coolest that I have read, and I couldn't put this book down!! I must've read it in, like, only 3 days worth of free time! I even stayed up well into the night just to find out what would happen next! A definite must-have, and a great piece of an even greater storyline!

This review is from: Prey #2 (The Wereling) (Paperback)

This is a gothic adventure love story novel about werewolves in modern day society. The Wereling is the second in a trilogy called Prey. Number 1 is Wounded; number 2 Resurrection.

The premise here is that there are two groups of the werewolves, one good and one bad. The good ones try to blend in and adapt to human society and have developed alternatives to suppress their wolf desire. They are trying to develop a cure. The good werewolves have developed techniques and weapons to assist in their active attempt to curb the evil clans and protect humans.

The two main characters are two teens. Tom Anderson is a werewolf who retains his human identity (the wereling). Against his will he was "turned" by a bite from his girlfriend Kate Folan. Kate works against her parents to assist those seeking a cure. If she mates with a werewolf, she too will become a werewolf. If they can find a cure for Tom, they can live as normal humans.

Her parents are the leaders of the evil wolf clans who are trying to defeat the move to change the old ways. A major stream of the story is the travel across the country trying to avoid being caught by Kate's parents, while they seek out a safe haven of good werewolves working on cures that will enable the wolves to become fully human and lose their werewolf characteristics.

The Wereling is the prey as Kate's parents and their cronies trace their trek across the country and an ultimate clash ensues. The story works. You'll like the suspense and the action!

Adventure and intrigue characterize the story, along with the added medical and biochemistry interest in the discussion of the werewolf condition in this updated version of the perennial legend.
