I rated this book 2 stars because parts of it were great and the rest just fell flat.  I hate to give a bad rating but know the author is looking for genuine feedback to hone their craft.  The book starts out with a lot of well written action and delivers everything you would expect from a blood thirsty werewolf.  The attack scenes were suspenseful, described in wonderful detail and you could feel the horror the beast evoked.  Where the book suffers is really in the dialog and plot.  Also the author uses words to describe things that detach from the story.  People just don't talk like that.The way the key characters react to the situation just makes them come across as insipid and unbelievable.  The only character that was believable and had character depth was the werewolf.  It felt like two different authors wrote the story, one for the action and another for everything else.  Also the whole premises for the origin of the werewolf I just couldn't swallow.
