The Case Of The Wicked Wolf (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
Sam, as we all learned in book one of The End Street Detective Agency series, really just wants to lead a normal, human life. But the PI Agency on End Street, left to him by his beloved uncle, seems to have other ideas.For one thing, Sam is having a hard time holding onto his anti-paranormal prejudices, particularly since he's falling in love with the adorably protective vampire, Bob, who rents one of the apartments upstairs. For another thing, Sam seems to be developing magic powers that humans aren't supposed to have. For all his denial, these powers can be useful when your clients include trolls, werewolves, naiads, sirens, fairies and vampires. One of Sam's clients, the alpha of a local werewolf pack, is desperately trying to find his four-year-old daughter, while at the same time dealing with his own romantic issues with his demon ex-boyfriend. Oh, and then Sam's ex-boyfriend decides to show up. Could it get any weirder? Oh, yeah. Kell and Scott's storyline and romantic arcs are very fun to read. This is equal parts m/m romance and paranormal whodunnit. I confess, though, the writing seems a little perfunctory, and the romantic moments are heavy with the cliches of the genre. But the sex scenes are restricted to appropriate junctures in the plot, as the men, normal and paranormal alike, battle their emotional demons (in one case, literally).I do hope the ladies continue on with this series; whatever its weakness, this duo can sure spin a yarn. Better than the first book IMO. I love this series, love the characters...even the minor ones! There were two couples in the story Sam and Bob; and Hart and Dan. The love angle doesn't really take the front seat in this book and it was well incorporated in the story that it doesn't overshadow the action or mystery. The book was action packed and still full of potential for the next books. I'm still intrigued about Sam's hidden heritage and I wonder about the treaty bracelet when it's time for Sam to "cash out" the favours LOL. I'm glad that there's no cliffhanger ending. Looking forward to the next book!
What do You think about The Case Of The Wicked Wolf (2013)?
Not quite as good as the first in the series. Entertaining but short.
