Stephen Cole
2003
The Summary
Bitten by a werewolf and forced to accept his monstrous change by the maniacal Marcie Foley, Tom Anderson has become embroiled in a nightmare from which he can't escape.
Now, he is a silver blood - a werewolf, who can retain some of his humanity - and the most sought after person in the werewolf community.
And Kate, Marcie's misfit daughter, is his only hope of finding a cure.
The Good
Stephen Cole creates a unique adventure of daring and danger by combing the mythology of werewolves with the science fiction of Frankenstein-esque science.
It's strange, slightly twisted, but simultaneously thrilling. With non-stop action paired with mystery and danger, it creates a compelling story that will keep you riveted to the pages. You'll be dying to see what happens - and I can't say Cole disappoints.
Additionally, the author creates intriguing and witty characters. Besides Kate and Tom, there's Adam Blood, a curious Englishman turned real estate salesman - who indulges an unusual occupation on the side. I think what makes Blood so endearing, however, is the accent.
(British accents make everything better.)
The Bad
It's book number one, so chances are good that the story is a long way from reaching any sort of happy ending - or, even, just an ending.
The Ugly
Violence.
Where werewolves are involved, bloodshed invariably follows behind.
