About Wolf Spirit:

The Wolf Spirit continues the story of Ded Benner and Reece Griffins from book 1, Wolf Man, where our two heroes continue to fight evil. This time around the bad guys are blackmarket human organ ring who are ubber rich people with very many resources like being able to hire crazy long-lived paranormal paramilitaries to fight our duo of protagonists. The fight took them to Mexico and back.

Ded is still being hunted by that old government military group that experimented on him in vietnam and the Watchers are still watching.

Synopsis is provided by me.

My Thoughts:

This book picked up exactly right where the first book left off, which gave it a satisfying sense of continuity.

I don't really know why this book is titled "Wolf Spirit". Just because our main protagonist is a werewolf?... maybe. By the way, Ded still refutes being a werewolf. Anyway, if the reason this book is called "Wolf Spirit" is just because Ded is wolf, then the rest of the books in the series can be titled the same too...

So our hero seems to find a love interest which spiced things up in between fighting the bad guys. The plot is still thin on the ground. But, the author's voice is also the same compelling quality so I bought Wolf Killer.

This book is just as violent as book 1, so I still do not recommend it to young readers.

WOLF MAN

Wolf Man by Craig Zerf
Book 1 in the Project Bloodborn series
Narrated by Matt Waldron
Genre: urban fantasy
Format: ebook & audiobook

About Wolf Man:

Brenner is not a werewolf...

He is the result of a secret US Army experiment. The creation of a government controlled Super Soldier.

And no one asked if he wanted to take part.

So, he escaped. And for the last fifty years has been living in the backroads and the small unknown towns of America. Never aging. Searching for a cure. At the same time avoiding the dark ops experts who are looking for him.

But just because he can become a seven foot, four hundred pound killing machine, it doesn't mean that Brenner is bad. In fact, he sticks to a strict code.

And like the High Plains drifters of old, anyone who crosses the Wolfman's code is sure to suffer.

They took his humanity ... and now it's time for payback.

My Thoughts:

Great start to a promising new-to-me series!

This is my first Craig Zerf read and I am fast becoming a fan. His author's voice is compelling enough to make me buy book 2, Wolf Spirit, even though it does not have synopsis. Having no synopsis is very annoying...

This is also my first Matt Waldron listen. He reads fine. I just sometimes wish he would give some characters a different voice than his usual ones that would be more befitting the character. Like deepen his voice a little perhaps when he is reading the lines of a deep-voiced character. Like that. He does sometimes does it. But not all the time.

The plot is pretty straight-forward. Hero meets bad guys. There was a fight. Boom! Boom! Blood and gore... More bad guys, more fight. The end. But hey, this is urban fantasy, not crime fiction!

This book is violent so I do not recommend it to young readers.
