Prowlers #4
Wild Things
Long have the packs lacked a great leader. Scattered far and wide, they have hunted as best they could in the hard lands, in places where their predations could be passed off as the work of true wolves. instead of Prowlers A series of mysterious deaths leads Jack Dwyer and Molly Hatcher to the fastlanes, rest stops, and all-night diners of a highway in upstate New York. Meanwhile, their friend Bill Cantwell heads to Manhattan in search of his missing niece, a fledgling musician with lots of attitude. Back in Boston, Jack's sister, Courtney, is left to hold the fort. But Jasmine, the sultry Prowler who barely survived her run-in with them in Boston, has begun to build a new pack in New York. When Bill probes the Prowler underground, he finds old friends, secret alliances, and betrayal, and his predicament draws Courtney away from Boston on a quest to make sure the man she loves gets home safely. To the north, Jack and Molly uncover the truth -- that the pack has grown larger than they could ever have realized. With Prowlers all around them, they must reach out to all of their allies, dead or alive, if they are to save Bill and Courtney and survive the final conflict with Jasmine.

A great conclusion to a great series, my only issue was that it had to end.

I am a huge fan of Christopher Golden. OK now that I got that out of the way, I can talk about Prowlers.
This is the 4th and final installment of this series. There was more action, more emotion, and more brutality that the first three volumes. Even though this can still be called a Young Adult title, things get pretty intense and almost reach full tilt horror novel status.
I wish that Golden had continued this series as well as the connected "Jenna Blake" series. The ending here even hints at more to come, but it has been 12 years with no more.
Werewolf fans and YA horror readers will enjoy this book and the rest of the series immensely.

Oops... guess I forgot to update with #3 and #4. I'll just update with 4 since they blend together.
Although I was a little sad to see it end, it was mostly a big sigh of relief that I was finally done with the task I had unwittingly taken on when I downloaded all four as a package deal. It wasn't one of his best works, by far, and this doesn't even give that satisfactory of a resolution. The novels themselves maybe could have been condensed into 3 books, especially if there was less ridiculousness about the ghost world.
There's a ghost world... and now we have to kill the prowler THERE! An evil ghost prowler killing all the poor souls! We have no idea how to do this but luckily we meet a girl who's been reincarnated a million times and she has a guardian angel who can help, and none of this will really be explained, just accepted! Okay
Happy to be done with the pseudo blue collar boston ish as well
Bye bye, my series!

If you read the first three...you will read book 4. I don't think I would tell anyone to delve into this series. I like christopher's writing and this story (its werewolves not prowlers) isn't for most.

Nothing dreadful, nothing special. Perhaps aimed at a young-adult audience, this seems like pretty standard werewolf fare imo. Longer review up on my blog.

February 22, 2024This book is so judgy compared to the others, and Jack is such a smarmy douche, that I am surprised this is a Christopher Golden book. DNF page 79
