Shortly after their move, Sophia and hermother stop receiving calls and emails from them. Whenthree months pass without any word from either, shehops aboard a plane to Greece in search of them. Whilegoing through their apartment looking for clues, shediscovers one brother's extensive collection of notesand research on the werewolf folklore. Although shebelieves the tales to be completely absurd, havingnothing else to go on she follows her brother's researchhoping it will lead her to them. Along the way sheuncovers truths she does not want to see nor believe,truths that completely contradict laws of nature, andeventually she must accept these truths in order to survive.This book was very exciting, and had a great historicalaspect to it. I couldn't stop reading. The detail theauthor got into when describing the history of thefolklore and in detailing ceremonial rights was excellent.My only complaint would have to be that the book jumpedaround a bit, following different characters over thecourse of thousands of years, and was occasionally hardto keep track of where you were at and at what point inhistory. In the end, all I can say is, IS THERE GOINGTO BE A SEQUEL???Kristincomplimentary book given for a free review. juliesbookreview.blogspot.com
