Customer Reviews

Wereling series

I have read all three books in the series. At first, Wounded (book #1) started off slow. Eventually, the pace picked up, and then I couldn't put the books down. I wish there was more between Kate and Tom in terms of describing their feelings, but when you have a homocidal maniac after you, there must not be enough time for romance. Overall, the book isn't really that bad if you like werewolves.

Wounded #1 (The Wereling) the best

This book was really great and i think that all young adults should read this at some point in time.

A Great Start to this YA Werewolf Trilogy

Sixteen-year-old Tom Anderson is a typical teen. Ticked off to be spending his summer vacation with his parents and younger brother, Tom storms out of their rented cabin in the Seattle forest, needing some time to himself. Next thing he knows, he's wading in a fast-moving river, with a bear between him and freedom. After being tossed unmercilessly down-river, Tom passes out--and awakes in a strange bed in a strange house. Tom's now at the mercy of the Folan family--mom Marcie, a former nurse, dad Henry, an author, son Wesley, and strange daughter Kate. The family (minus Kate) informs Tom that he's now on an island, cut off from the mainland, with severe injuries sustained from his trip down the river. In terrible pain and totally weak, Tom spends what he believes is a week in the Folan home, recuperating from his wounds yet somehow feeling stranger as every day goes by. Then a shocker from the strange but lovely Kate--Tom's been in the Folan home for a month, not a week, and Marcie, Henry, and Wesley aren't normal family members. They're werewolves, and they're doing everything within their power to change Tom into one to act as Kate's mate. Suddenly, Tom is in fear for his life, and not from the raging river than wounded him. He realizes that Kate Folan may be his only chance for salvation from the beast that now resides within him, and the two set off in the dead of night after a deadly confrontation with Wesley to find a mystery man named Jicaque in New Orleans, who just might be able to cure Tom of the beast he's now living with. WOUNDED is a great, fast-paced read! Touted as young adult book, probably because the hero is sixteen, this story will appeal to any lovers of the paranormal, especially those who enjoy werewolf stories. I've already ordered the final two books in the series, Prey #2 (The Wereling) and Resurrection #3 (The Wereling), and am looking forward to getting started on them. Definitely a recommended read!

good book

I thought this book was awsome! It had everything a good book needed. you should read this book!

Looking for another werewolf book. . .

here it is. I love werewolf books like 'Blood and Chocolate' by Klause and 'Bitten' by Armstrong and I think you would probably enjoy this one. The book sends you on a journey with Kate and Tom. As they try to run away from what they are they run into many obstacles . . .and I won't say anymore. I really did enjoy this book and I didn't give it 5 stars mostly because I don't want to 'over hype' the book which I believe sometimes happens and then readers are dissappointed. Well, I already purchased the 2nd book to this wereling series and if your willing to take a chance on a book then why not purchase this one.
