When I received Pack of Strays? from Netgalley.com I didn't realize that this was actually the second book in the ?Fangborn? series. I had heard very good things about ?Fangborn? on-line at goodreads.com, and I was excited to try it. However, finding this was the second, well, what could I do? I ran over to Amazon and grabbed the first, Seven Kinds of Hell.
What can I say, but WOW! The first paragraph of my Seven Kinds of Hell review shows how excited I about the book:
One thing you must know about this book before walking into the story is this ? you hold in your hand not some simple, See Jane Run, Run Jane Run novel. If you are looking for minimal world building, simplistic answers, and only two or three characters with clear-cut goals, this book isn't for you. It is so far out of the ?let's just do mindless entertainment? wheelhouse you can't even see it from the top of the Pharos Lighthouse.
I love, well, adore actually, books with depth of world building, complex questions and characters, and far-from-mindless entertainment. Well, not always ? sometimes we just want to have fun, right? But with ?Seven Kinds of Hell,? the excitement kept me engrossed from the first page to the last. And Pack of Strays? Oh, yes. Zoe Miller's life isn't getting any easier. If anything, her life is becoming more and more complicated as she not only learns more about who she is, and why, but also how important she apparently is within this weird, wild world she now inhabits. A deadly world.
Ms. Cameron once again amazes with her depth of historical and archaeological knowledge. While Zoe stayed mostly on the East Coast in the last book, this time she globe trots to some of the most beautiful, and fascinating, cities in the world. Copenhagen to Istanbul, her search for the artifacts which call to her lead her to mysterious places and people, while transformations to her very being change her in such a way that even the other Fangborn do not understand what is happening ? but they do know they don't like it. But why?
If one had but a single glance to give the world, one should gaze on Istanbul. ? Alphonse de Lamartine
The ending was both shocking and startling, and the worse part of it is that now I have to wait for the next book! Zoe started out the series as just another budding archaeologist, doing the grunt-work, labeling and storing and basically living in the basement of the Boston Museum. What a terrifying change, as she discovers not only that werewolves and vampires and oracles (oh, my!) are real, but they are nothing like Hollywood would have you believe ? and she just might be the only hope of saving them all.
With friends becoming enemies, and enemies becoming possible friends, Zoe is stretched beyond anything she has ever believed possible. Will she learn who, and what, her mother was? And is her unknown father possibly still alive? The suspense, action, and depth of the characters will keep you reading into the wee hours!
In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends. ? Martin Luther King, Jr.
Five stars? Nah ? read them both, one after another and if you love the same kind of books I do, I absolutely expect you to give it a Perfect Ten!
Highly recommended. This book was provided to me by Netgalley in return for a realistic review, and I very much appreciate it!
