The Werewolf's Touch

I wasn't actually sure if I should give this 3 or 4 stars.. This is acutally the second book of what appears to be a loosely linked trilogy. I haven't read the first book in the set "werewolf's kiss".I found that as a stand alone novel this was well written. The author has a clear writing style and sticks to reasonalbly simple story lines. I also found it was quite lyrical and had a bitter-sweet ending.It's the story of the "cursed" marley werewolves. The eldest child of each generation is cursed so that on the "night of their greatest triumph" they will turn into a werewolf and start killing. Andrew Marley is the 3rd generation for this to happen to and on the night of his ordination as a preist all goes to hell.The cover somewhat does this book a dis-service. It looks like a dyed-in-the-wool romance, but the story is in many ways more of a tragedy than a romance and I was grateful I found I was actually reading a story and not a torrid romance that simply revolves around love saving the day and sex.If you want a "light" werewolf novel that is quick and easy to read this is reccomended.

i love the way cheri scotch describes her charactors, this book { the second in a triolgy} is simply brilliant the triolgy gets better as it goes along.
