Wolf Fever Book

This was a fairly good book. I generally like this series. I did miss one and it seems to have been the one that involved most of the characters in this one. Still it wasn't too difficult to follow along.

Why wasn't this one rated higher? I think mostly because the wolf fever situation didn't seem as dire as it should have. It wasn't until more than half way through the book that the first wolf got stuck in wolf form. We knew it was going to happen since the heroine had visions about it. So we were just waiting around for it to happen. The bad guys were pretty inept. When the evil genius doctor finally got page time, the hero immediately killed him. So we never figured out why he had created the virus or where he was coming from.

Also the hero, who was alpha of a neighboring wolf pack, didn't seem as alpha as he could have been. Maybe I like my alpha werewolves just a bit more snapping and snarling and aggressive. It took him 5 months to figure out that he wanted her for his mate. If they're too human seeming, what's the point in reading werewolf love stories?

The heroine had spent the 5 months since she had been infected as a werewolf fighting off the change to a wolf by using her precognitive visions to distract herself. She was scared of what she would be like as a wolf. When she does finally change we were in the hero's POV so got no idea of what she thought of being a wolf. No description of wolf senses or how great it was to run as a wolf or how scarry etc., no idea at all. If it was important enough to fight for 5 months, it was important enough to tell us about it.

Still it's a fairly decent werewolf series. I like that she tells stories of many different werewolves from all over the country and that they do not all follow each other one after the other. A pretty good read for werewolf fans. Not great literature but not a bad way to spend an evening.
