I read all three Scotch werewolf books. They are certainly different. I love werewolf books because they are all so different. Every author has a completely different take.

What is so interesting about Cheri Scotch's series is that she manages to combine so many different elements in relatively short books. These books have it all. We have mystery/detective work; historical background and sweeping drama; we have several love stories; supernatural, including voodoo and of course, werewolf folklore; interesting backdrops of New Orleans, as well as other interesting places. We also have interesting personal relationships: parent/child; lovers; revenge; friendship....But most of all, good triumphing over evil. Oh, did I mention the religious storyline? You name an element, it is here.

These books manage to combing countless characters, most of which are included in all three books; and countless storylines without being unhinged or confusing. Holt manages to go back and forth in time periods with different characters and pull it all together in the end.

I liked Cheri Holt's take on how one becomes a werewolf. Her ideas were very different than I have read. I also liked the way she dragged voodoo in and made it part of the wolf-lore. The details of voodoo were as interesting as the wolf details.

I am not going to go into the plotlines of these books, because frankly, I don't think I could. They are all just too complex to describe...and believe me I tried. I was trying to sum it up for a friend and failed miserably.

What I would like to know, is where is Cheri Holt? Why did she write three great books almost ten years ago people are still raving about and then disappear? And where are the book publishers? Hello!! Can we say reprint here? There are still buckets off money to made with her wonderful books...

I am not a regular reader of Lycanthropy (Werewolf) books however I decided to give this one a try. I found out that I have been missing out. This book is an excellent read. This book is just one of three. I look forward to the other two. (2nd coming out in October 2003 & the 3rd coming out in January 2004) Buy this book & you will not be disappointed.

Sincerely,

Cheri scotch is the cream of the crop for werewolf lovers. instead of writting werewolves a demonic monsters like most writers do. she write of a werewolf who is both human and so much more. I wish she would write more books about werewolves. To Qoute someone "she does for werewolves what Anne Rice did for Vampire".

The Werewolf's Kiss gives the reader a look at the Louisiana werewolves. It draws the reader into the close-knit community of the werewolves. The characters backgrouds are explained with great clarity! You'll have no trouble finding a character to root for! The reader will feel like they are one of the werewolf community in this book. The character's worries and fears become the reader's worries and fears. The last few chapters are sure to have the reader on the edge of their seat!! This is a must-read for any fan of werewolf literature!!!!!

I really enjoyed this book. It is a keeper that you can reread and enjoy over and over again. The story is great and the characters are really believable. If you enjoy werewolf books or other books along this line you will enjoy reading this book.
