Cheri Scotch

I’d read and owned the first book in the series some years ago, but eventually disposed of it when I moved and (at that point) hadn’t tracked down the remaining 2 books.

Set in New Orleans, the series is a mixture of werewolves and voodoo. There are 2 types of werewolf: those of the line of Lycaon who revel in their bestial nature, and those of the line of Apollonius of Tyana who kill in the service of justice. It is the second type who serve as voudoun’s executioners.

It is an interesting premise and works well; and is competently handled, and, thank goodness isn’t remotely smutty.

It reads a lot like many that are currently haunting the shelves but it's written in 1992 so it does predate a lot of the current wave of werewolf books. This is an interesting twist on the Werewolf story, in this the werewolves have to kill but some of them try to only kill those who deserve to die. Set in New Orleans, Sylvie Marley is drawn to this world, a world her father rejected many years ago, one of very few who have.

I liked the read, it was light and the concept was quite interesting and well written.… (mais)
