The Wolf Within
When the moon rises, the man he was begins to die.
Ethan Cross had everything—power, prestige, a life carved from Manhattan’s steel and glass. But a single bite on a lonely Vermont road shatters it all, awakening something ancient in his blood. Now, with each passing night, his senses sharpen, his strength grows, and the hunger inside him claws closer to the surface.
As rivalries erupt and bodies begin to fall, Ethan is thrust into a savage struggle not only against his enemies, but against himself. Torn between the remnants of his humanity and the intoxicating lure of the beast, he must resist the curse and risk destruction, or embrace it and lose everything that ever tethered him to the world of men.
But the wolf doesn’t forgive hesitation. And under the full moon, mercy is just another word for prey.
The Wolf Within is a chilling tale of transformation, betrayal, and the thin line between predator and man. Perfect for fans of Gothic horror, supernatural thrillers, and tragic, character-driven tales, this novel will leave you haunted long after the last howl fades.

Did not finish. Watch the movie Wolf from 1994. You’re going to see a LOT of blatant and not so subtle similarities. I let it go because I really enjoy that movie, but then when you think things are going to start to shift or have a good turn, nope. Repetition after unbelievable repetition. Then you have characters written separately and aren’t suppose to know each other who magically know each other a few chapters later with no rational for it. And apparently everybody in the book is already a werewolf, they’ve just been subtle about hiding it this guy’s whole life.
I couldn’t stomach anymore after I got halfway. I returned it and spent moments of my life on better things, like looking for a better book than this trash. I’d give it half a star if I could for the plagiarism and unoriginality alone. But the boring out of sequence writing would drop it to a quarter star. Pass on this if you’re thinking of giving it a try. I didn’t even bother to skip to the end. Who cares how it ends.
