I've read rave reviews on this book, including one from no less an expert in writing than Stephen King. I wish I could agree with them, but I neither liked nor hated this book. It just sort of was.

Mystery and horror combine as unexplained deaths occur in Brewster, Rhode Island. Along with sightings of a few unnaturally large and organized wolves. To say much more would risk providing the spoilers which I absolutely hate to discover in a review.

Why didn't this book grab me? Perhaps it was because found I never actually grew attached to the characters of Brewster I neither hated nor loved them; they just were. In addition, I was disappointed in the resolution (again, I cannot detail without major spoilers).

As such, the only thing I can say is that out of all of the books I read in 2014 this was one of them.

RATING: 3 stars,.

DISCLOSURE: This book was provided free of charge by the publisher without obligation. I'm sure they will appreciate an unbiased posted review, but probably wish I was more enthralled with it.
