"an awesome story"
It has been a long three weeks for Samantha Houston. First
she found out she was part vampire, then became one and
was promptly infected by a werewolf. She now has two weeks
left to find the werewolf who infected her, and drift with
him or they will both die. However Samantha doesn't have time to mourn the loss of
her humanity as both the vampires and werewolves are
trying to kill her. Working with Sevastian, they conjure
the "Dark Avenger" Samantha's only hope to even live long
enough to find Ty. Then there is the vampire Sion
Baptiste...the man she both craves and would like to see
really dead. But all Samantha really wants to do is get revenge. YES! YES! Tamara Gray has had me chomping at the bit to
know what would happen next and well, I want the next
book... now! I really enjoy her writing style; I find it
quirky, upbeat and I love the subtle little descriptive
words she adds to her characters that make them more
realistic. Like the first story, THE WOLVES DEN is very fast paced
and a lot happens in a very short amount of time. This
story is also very action oriented but it has many violent
altercations, where our heroine would have died had she
not already been immortal. However, I found myself
laughing at various different things that happened as
well. For example, I got a good laugh out of her growing
list of people she wants to kill, when she has the time. There have been some comparisons made to Laurel K
Hamilton's stories. However, I've never read one, so I
can't answer this. I can tell you that Samantha is a very
strong, independent woman who while has admitted she loves
Sion Baptiste, can't stand the vampire. This story seems
to focus on her search for Ty- the werewolf who infected
her. While she does find him, a battle breaks out and she
inadvertently sends him to (I think) the innards of Earth
to save him. So this is still unresolved, hence, I need
the next book!! As a reader, we start learning, as Samantha learns, what
it means to be a vampire as well as the prophecy she is a
part of; often with humorous results. We also get to find
out more about the mysterious and evil dracomeres. I
really liked the Dark Avenger; he fits the description of
tall dark and mysterious. At first he wasn't what I was
expecting but my opinion changed when Sam actually needed
him. I would highly recommend reading Tamara Gray's stories in
order, the first being THE SILVER FANG, because there is
no back story to catch you up on the events you would have
missed out on by not having read the first book. THE
WOLVES DEN is an awesome story, and this is definitely an
author you won't want to miss! Reviewed March 25, 2006
