Review: Wolves of Paris
Rating: 4 out of 5

I’d previously read Michael Wallace’s book The Righteous, a thriller set in a bizarre place where people had strange religious beliefs (a Utah polygamist community). It turns out that The Wolves of Paris shares these same qualities. The wolves (actually werewolves) intensify the bizarre setting.I found much to like in this story. The stakes for the characters were high (many life or death decisions and situations). The historical setting was one I hadn’t experienced through fiction before, and I found quite interesting. I especially found the power held by the church and the arbitrariness of what might cause someone to find themselves at odds with them during the Inquisition was frightening to consider. An intense read much different than anything I’ve read before.**Originally written for "Books and Pals" book blog. May have received a free review copy. **
