Book review “Wereworld Rise of the Wolf”

This was a book that my daughter Emily purchased. Actually, she purchased the whole series. I wanted to take a easy to read, entertaining book on our camping trip to Martin Dies State Park. I thought they must be good if she purchased the whole series. I thought the story was a bit darkroom a children’s book.

From the title you can probably guess it is a fantasy story about werewolves. It is about a 16 year old boy named Drew who lives on a farm. Then one day a horrible monster bursts into his home and murders his mother. In his efforts to defend his mother, Drew begins a transformation into a werewolf. He is bewildered by what is happening to him. He ends up fleeing from his home. In his adventures, he discovers that it is the shapeshifters called Werelords who rule Lyssia and he is one. He also discovers that he has royal blood and is a threat to the crown. Drew is rather most wanted man in the kingdom and the only hope for the downtrodden people of Lyssia.

The story was entertaining but I was wondering how much abuse that poor Drew could handle. I know it is a fantasy story but I was thinking that he had been so severely injured that he would never be able to recover.

Drew also has the worst luck. It seems like he just stumbles into situations that he needs to extricate himself from. (Spoiler Alert) In the final chapters when Drew is battling the king and his men, he passes out and falls over he wall. He finds himself rescued and recovering from all his terrible wounds. What hero just falls over a wall…..

I did enjoy most of the book. I suppose I was a little disappointed in the ending. Will I read book 2…not for awhile.
