Gruesome. Brutal. Fierce. These are werewolves that, when in wolf form, behave like bloodthirsty wolves. They are nasty and as unpleasant as creatures can be. When Mason is surprised by the true nature of his college friend and bitten, he is determined not to be *that* kind of werewolf. So he lives a reclusive life, avoiding the company of others in order not to spread his cursed existence.He also is in hiding from the wolf who turned him. He's not the only one. Niall has had a similar experience and the smell of Kaine is on both Mason and Niall, which makes them easier to track if they go out.Niall figures out a way to end the bane but can he and Mason make it happen without it costing them their lives. Niall and Mason are drawn to each other and are in lust and love so now each is protective of more than just themselves.Meredith Russell has built a paranormal world unlike most other romanticized werewolf cultures. This is a horror story at its most... well, horrid. When I started the book I was a bit put off by what happened a the initial party. No, more than just a bit. It shocked me and I was in the same boat as Mason, not believing what was happening. But, I stuck with it and was rewarded with a wonderful story. This is as good a horror/romance blend as it is possible to be.This review originally appeared at Mrs Condit & Friends Read Books
