Review: Dire Wolf kept me up all night reading, then having bad dreams for a couple of nights afterward.

Dire Wolf by Eric Jubb was an almost five star book. I received it free from NetGalley for fair review.I found it to be a real page turner. I stayed up half the night to finish it. It is an excellent story line.I found it exceptionally entertaining, with the caveat that there was no clear distinction of which characters were speaking.It covered a broad range of time from Roman to current soldiers. The premise is that the pre-historic Dire Wolf was diluted into the modern day gray wolf & interbred with a presa canario. Then through a genetic fluke a super wolf developed that could think strategically.There's enough suspense in the wolf hunt & the interaction of characters to have kept me guessing. However, I was unable to set aside the suspension of disbelief to accept the idea that wolves could become poisonous.I recommend this to readers of creature suspense, thriller & those interested in wolves.
