Grey reviewed Deadly Creatures by Dan Wickline
Review of 'Deadly Creatures' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
I have a confession to make, and it's one where I admit I broke my cardinal rule of book reading. I HATE eBooks, Kindle and whathaveyou, mainly because they are destroying actual books. People don't seem to want to hold a book in their hands anymore, but I do. It's one of my things. I NEED the book. I will go for audiobooks if they're read by the author, because they've been around for so long, and they're another source of reading for the blind, alongside Braille. However, for this? I caved, because I love Dan's writing.
(I'm hinting here Dan, I want a hard copy!)
I love my fantasy stuff, especially werewolf related stories. Not crap like Twilight and asinine teeny-angst like that, but real, action filled werewolf stories. They're not the only creature in this by any means, but they're my favourite. Deadly Creatures is filled with action, detective mystery and otherworld goings on, that make it hard to put this down. I could see the Fogg stories being read around campfires in the dark, by torchlight under bedclothes, and quietly snuggled betwixt many a blanket on a freezing cold evening. They're that kind of story.
I know Dan has been working on novels as opposed to comics and graphic novels, but the nature of this story means I'd love to see the novel turned into a graphic novel, to compliment this one. He writes as if he's telling you the story himself, as if he were reading it to you personally next to a fire. I think the only thing I had missing, was marshmallows.
Eagerly awaiting the next installment! <3
