Prowlers: Laws of Nature

Prowlers #2

by Christopher Golden

Werewolves are the myth. Prowlers are the savage reality.

Owen Tanzer may be gone from Boston, but now that Jack is aware of the existence of the Prowlers, he is on a constant lookout for evidence of their presence elsewhere. So when his sister, Courtney, and her friend Bill uncover reports of vicious animal attacks in rural Buckton, Vermont, his suspicions are aroused. Messages from the Ghostlands confirm the worst, and Jack and Molly -- whose feelings for each other are growing harder to ignore -- head for the mountains.

Buckton is a small, quaint town. Jack and Molly are expecting a warm welcome, but instead they are met with distrust. Soon they discover that Buckton is a town with deep secrets, and before they know it, the two become the lead suspects in a rash of brutal murders... Meanwhile the crucial question for Jack becomes which of the townsfolk are human -- and which are not.

Reviews

[Cyn Bagley · Rating 4 out of 5]

Laws of Nature by Christopher Golden is he second novel in his Prowlers series.

If you like your horror with teeth and claws and with some suspense, this one is for you. In my opinion it was written to a young adult audience.

[Michael Marshman · Rating 5 out of 5]

the second entry in this amazing series finds the character growing closer and facing a different breed of animal. though it has the original cast the new introductions are welcome and well written. this played out like an action movie I've always wanted to see.

[Jay Martin · Rating 5 out of 5]

I've lost count of how many times I've read this. It's a comfort series for me, and I always enjoy it.

The entire series is a wonderfully refreshing (unfreshing?) take on werewolves. We've gotten away from monsters as monsters, instead making them more human, and sympathetic-not so much here. This goes back to the old timey days when monsters were actual monsters. I wish the series had gone on longer.
