David North-Martino’s Wolves of Vengeance was sent to me by
the author for review. Judging by the title of this novel you might think it
had to do with werewolves, however the Wolves of Vengeance are not werewolves
but something more original. This story is about a town caught up in the terror
of mysterious animal attacks that have the local police baffled, and it is not
long before a special military division, one that is not on the books, is sent
in to handle the situation. At 155 pages, this is not a long novel but then
this type of thing is best served in shorter form. As much thriller as horror
novel, the author does a fine job of balancing the occult elements against the realistic
action. He has also done his research, or so it seems to me, and this gives the
book that extra depth we long for in our escapist entertainment. Mixing this
real world detail with otherworldly mysteries and doing it well, this book is a
fun and exciting read.
