Years ago I was a big Anne Rice fan. I would buy her books as soon as they came out. The vampire & witch novels at first were wonderful but then she become repetitive and then religious. I hadn't read a book by her in years.
Then I read about The Wolf Gift and thought well I'll give it a try. This was like the Anne Rice I remembered and loved. Wonderful characters, descriptive scenery and a story with some unique features of what we think of as werewolves.
If she writes more books in this style I will become a fan again. I loved all the references to northern California. I have visited there and the description are on the money and brought back memories of my own visits.

Outstanding much better than I expected. Love the background history really makes you think about the werewolf legend. Glad Anne Rice is writing paranormal again. The Witching Hour was one of my favorite all time books, this is a similar calibre. HIghly recommend.
