Wallace seems to be able to write superb fiction in whatever genre he chooses. Iam not into demons, vampires  and werewolves but my husband and I were looking for something different from the usual serial killer or middle eastern terrorist plots.  Recently we had read and enjoyed Michelle Gent's Deadlier than the Male, a superior time slip werewolf story,and we like Michael Wallace, although I am taking a break from  the Righteous series. Red Rooster is one of my favorites and I almost downloaded one of the others from that group,  but I was looking for something less mainstream. At the special price, Wolves of Paris was almost risk free.  And it is definitely a page-turner.  I hate that over-used cliche but this is the epitome.  It is fast-paced, well edited and without any lull in the action.  Wallace's action scenes are always good but the ones in Wolves of Paris are incredible. I can almost smell the wolves! The characters are well drawn,the battle lines are laid out well,and the personal interaction between the principals rings true to human nature, which is a trait of Wallace's work. The  books has something for everyone from the historical fiction buff who will like the 15th century setting to the romantic who enjoys strong willed females fighting alongside the men. The protagonist is likeable --not too much an iron man to put us off, yet good enough to stay in the fight and win it.I love this book!
