“A howling good read!”

by Alexandra Longden
An awesome story about a young boy who gets seperated from his family and drifts down rapids after escaping a grizzly bear and gets rescued by a mysterious family known as the Folans and from there Tom's life turns upside down as he discovers the family are creatures he thouht didn't egsist... bloody thristy werewolves!. So Tom escapes with Kate Folan in search for a native american who may be able to cure him from being a werewolf but Tom discovers he's a special kind of werewolf known as a wereling, a werewolf who has human eyes and can control himself. As well as searching for the native american they have Kate's mother and the whole werewolf clans snapping at their heels! This is an awesome trilogy I'd reccomend it to all fantasy & werewolf lovers
“The Wereling Trilogy”
(Paperback)
by Yasmin Foster
This is a review of the trilogy as a whole, for these are short books. I remember reading these books when I was in school, more than ten years ago, and it’s a testament that I remember them, and certain scenes, characters and quotes, vividly. I enjoyed them then and I enjoy them now as an adult. These are fast-paced, smooth reads and the writing is economical. The only time it does seem to stumble in its pacing in when it has to give an ‘info-dump’, but they’re only a paragraph or so long and they serve to remind you what has happened in the previous books or to give you information on important and relevant parts of the werewolf mythology (which is interestingly crafted) so you don’t have to waste time trying to stitch the pieces together throughout the book. Granted the transitions into the ‘info-dumps’ are a little clumsy at times, but they’re quick and few. The characters are very likeable and their humour takes the edge off some of the dark, grizzly horror. And these books are HORROR. Publish two years before Twilight castrated werewolves, these books keep the rabid animal violence and in no way romanticises them. At the same time, it doesn’t go too overboard with the gore, only at important times where you need that stab of dread. All in all, I’d recommend these. They’re short books and you could probably read the whole trilogy in a week, at most.
