Alex
is a young gay man living in conservative Wren, Pennsylvania, is a town
that really has nothing for him. Wren is like one of those southern
towns where “ain’t no homosexuals there”. In fact there are really no
minorities in Wren. Then Morgan enters Alex’s life, he becomes part of
an affectionate couple and before long they become involved in a
passionate affair. Unfortunately their sexual activities were not what
we consider safe.
Just about the same time, something very
strange began happening in Wren. Citizens became victims to a wild
animal that has found its way into town having come from the surrounding mountainside. Alex and Morgan spent a wild weekend of orgiastic
enjoyment and just as quickly as the two men fell in love did Morgan
suddenly disappear. Alex immediately began to ail and he convinced
himself that Morgan had passed on some kind of venereal disease to him.
As he became sicker, Morgan surprisingly returned and Alex understands
that it was indeed Morgan who had infected him. However he was not
suffering from what he thought — Morgan had made him into a werewolf.
Skye writes with wonderful description and while this is paranormal fiction, there is no reason why something like this can happen (and by that I
mean using the werewolf as a metaphor). The language here is quite bold
and the writing is indeed excellent. Now that we are once again in the
vampire cycle, this is a book that many will find interesting.
