Description:
Incredibly exciting new voice in paranormal fiction.
This is the story of Tommi, a young Scottish woman living an ordinary life, who stumbles violently into her birthright as the world’s most powerful werewolf. The sudden appearance of a dark, mysterious (and very attractive) guardian further confuses her as her powers begin to develop and she begins to understand that her life can never be the same again. The reader will be swept up in Tommi’s journey as she’s thrown into the middle of a centuries-old battle and a world peopled with expert warriors and vicious enemies – this is the start of a series – and a world – you will fall in love with.
My View:
For those who like their drama with a huge dollop of supernatural, full moon transformations, blood thirsty revenge scenes mingled with romance, this very adult paranormal is for you!
Maria Lewis has created a very confident, independent and as of the last full moon, very were wolf, female super hero called Tommi; blue haired, tattooed, artistic, creative, intelligent…I can see this protagonist winning lots of fans (and her “Guardian” – will inspire more than a few crushes I do think!) An exciting narrative with well-developed characters, this book yells out video game or 2D animation to me.
Reading, Writing and Riesling 
I really like and respect how varied your reading is, Carol. I’ll admit, this one’s probably not for me. But I can see how it might appeal, as you say, to those who like doses of paranormal and transformations. And yes, even from the bits you’ve shared, it’s just asking to be made into a video game or animation.
Thank you Margot. Variety keeps my reading interesting there are so many great writers to discover , in the recent past I kept to a few familiar authors suddenly I discovered a whole new world of reading experiences, it is great!
A werewolf novel?! You might have to change your middle name to Eclectic at this rate! 😉
