Cry Wolf
There was something unsettling about this graphic novel as I began to read it. I felt as if the characters were telling me the story instead of living it and I wasn’t too excited about continuing it. It was the illustrations that motivated me to continue reading while I hoped things would turn around and I would see the characters in action. This was a fast-paced graphic novel that in my opinion, got better towards the end. The characters began to live out the story instead of telling me what had occurred and the illustrations brought the story to life. I really enjoyed the illustrations as they weren’t overly busy but using vivid colors, each panel concentrated on what was important.
Just who is Anna and what makes her so desirable? Unaware that werewolves existed, Anna is bitten by a werewolf when he comes to her rescue while she is being attacked. Anna doesn’t trust the male members of her pack and looking at the illustrations you can see her hesitation when they are around. When Charles arrives, he believes that Anna is his mate and that there is something special about her that no one else is aware of. He tries to persuade Anna to go with him as he hunts down a powerful wolf. Using both of their abilities, Charles believes they are the perfect individuals to bring this wolf to his knees.
I liked how the novel ended and I realize now that I will be picking up part #2 of this series to see how Anna is doing and if she truly is something special in the werewolf world.
I already read a novel for my Werewolf square for Halloween Bingo and I have my free space already read also. I guess this was just a fun horror read for me. If only the holds I got from the library corresponded to the bingo calls, I would have a bingo but I am reading my stack of library books based on when they are due. :(
