Review: Trilogy means THREE novels, not two.  No conclusion to story.
Rating: 4 out of 5

If you feel slightly ripped off when you buy something that is misrepresented then you might want to hold off a tick until the author antes up with a third installment.  Generally, when you see something listed as part of a trilogy you are lead to believe there are THREE books in existence and that the story has been substantially taken to closure.  Not a problem if each book is self contained and this was pretty much the case with the first one.  The second picks up with a logical extension of the first story's ending but then ends without really closing out the installment.  Good news is that the author's website claims the next installment is due out in 2014 and we should be able to find some closure.The novel(s) themselves are above average werewolf yarns with some interesting and innovative twists on the traditional story that, frankly, I enjoyed.  Nothing was debunked in the old werewolf legends, instead they were expanded to include some new concepts.  This cultivated interest and kept me reading with more than average pleasure...hence four stars for a genre that seldom earns more than three...at least from me.  On the down side, some of the dialogue is dull, forced and predictable.  Relationships between characters were sometimes not plausible.  Some strange names assigned to characters tended to cause my attention to hang briefly while I considered the choice, particularly the character "Captain Pearce" in the first novel.  Tended to give me M*A*S*H flashbacks and break my concentration, but that could be just me.  It's not great literature and I don't think it was intended to be, but in this day and age it is above the bar and certainly deserves the attention of sci fi/horror buffs.  Looking forward to the next one.
