Maneater is infused with vice: greed, and power and Emson flexes his literary muscle to convey just that. He’s plausibly set forth a tale of two ancient bloodlines warring for countless centuries, waging their battle in flashbacks and in contemporary London. The chronicle of Laura Greenacre, the last full-blooded werewolf of the Greenacre clan is riveting as she butts claws with the Templeton’s, the distinguished society family responsible for massacring all the members of her vast clan. She’ll stop at nothing to exact revenge.
Shunning their lycanthropic side for generations, the Templeton’s finally realize the power they’ve denied themselves. Getting their hands on Laura’s pure blood and wielding it indiscriminately is the goal of the new patriarch intent on building up his clan’s strength and power once again. It’s a battle to the bloody, meaty death as the Templeton’s hire a team of mercs to take out Laura.
Emson is deliciously inventive, brutal and precise. Maneater is like no other werewolf tale you’ve read recently. A lonely werewolf girl, Laura Greenacre is not. She’s nothing like Millar’s character, or any other shifter you’ve been exposed to. Instead she is a ravening beast, ruled purely by instinct, and dead set on revenge. Emson does not trifle with wasted energy at times; we don’t get to really peer in depth into the minds of his characters to make an emotional connection with the exception of Laura and perhaps Thorn. And while there is a certain fragility to her, don’t be fooled, Maneater is meant to be undiluted horror and that’s exactly what it is.
I purposely had to stop tearing so fast through the book in order to really savor each scene. This is because Emson’s paragraphs are honed with scalpel-like precision, like a surgeon slicing a neat red path featuring the diverse and believable pov’s of his characters. And those differing perspectives, coupled with Emson’s sparse language gives Maneater the overall feel of a rapidly paced film. The battle of Trafalgar Square, Emson’s climax to the book and by far the best treat is absolutely gripping as Laura goes head to head against the Templeton’s while tourists and police are caught within the bloody fray.
Maneater is a fresh infusion to the genre, ruthless, bold, and immensely entertaining. It ends on a deviously clever cliffhanger. A vial of Laura’s blood gets into the hands of a Templeton and with it a worldwide hunt ensues as alliances are systematically made and crushed. Prey, Emson’s coveted sequel is already queued up in my TBR pile and is expected to be just as engrossing and grisly

3.5 stars in reality.
From the back cover:
She's not sweet. She's not nice.
She doesn't fight evil. She doesn't protect the weak. She doesn't serve humanity. She doesn't work in an office by day and have a secret identity by night. She doesn't have friends and family who know nothing about her but when they find out they love her anyway. She's not cool. She's not clever. She's not kind to animals. She won't help children, the elderly, and those less fortunate than herself.
In fact, she doesn't care. But if you hurt her, she will kill you. Actually, she might do worse than that -
Meet Laura. She'll eat you alive.
Let me say what this book is not - that is not werewolf fiction that falls into the PNR category; if you like novels about weres that normally have a picture of a guy's abs on the front than chances are you won't enjoy this book. This is werewolf fiction set firmly in the horror/action genre. This means there's plenty of gore and general unpleasantness, and the author doesn't shy away from giving you the details. If this sort of thing grosses you out, then again you won't enjoy this book.
The story is basically about a long running feud between families, but there's also a couple of sub-plots confusing the waters, and the author drops the reader in part way through without any explanation and leaves you to sort it out as we go along (probably one of my favourite horror/UF tropes).
Laura is the FMC of the book; she may be as smart-mouthed as any other UF heroine, but the 'sassy and sexy' elements are thankfully missing. I found Laura an entertaining protagonist, if not an especially likable one. Her male counterpart, police officer John Thorn, is nice enough (thankfully there's no brooding, almost monolithic, alpha male in this), competent and tough without being absurdly overpowered. All the characters are drawn in fairly broad strokes; there are no subtle shades or delicate nuances here. The prose is also fairly basic; it does its job without any poetic flourishes.
This is the novel that introduced me to Thomas Emson's work, and I liked it enough to buy his other novels, so yeah, I enjoyed it. If any of the things I've mentioned put you off then you might be best advised to avoid this novel. However, if you like the idea of a violent, fast-moving werewolf story set in Britain rather than the States (hurrah!), you may find this novel your cup of tea.

3.5 stars.
Not at all what I was expecting from a werewolf story, less horror/supernatural elements, rather more a thriller/action type novel (But more teeth and fur than is usual). I felt it took some time to get going and for the main strands of the story to coalesce, but worth the wait.
We're told the story of two warring families whose werewolf heritage stretches far back along respective family lines, with the remaining two descendants eventually battling it out for supremacy. This is, however, a vastly simplified overview, there are numerous parallel sub-plots (possibly too many), and intertwining tales along the way, together with some truly repellent characters and of course our rather excellent heroine of the piece.
(Would have given it 4 stars were it not for some spelling errors, which just annoy me so much - someone really should have spotted the incorrect use of 'site' rather than 'sight', and 'breath' when it should be 'breathe'. Yes, I am tedious grammar bore, but I think the publisher missing things like this does the author a disservice!)

A very readable and gripping tale largely set in Northern England during the summer of 1999, "MANEATER" is the first novel in a series centered on Laura Greenacre, a resourceful, tough, mean, sexy woman in her 20s who is much more than meets the eye. She's a werewolf on a mission to kill Sir Adam Templeton, a former government minister who commands considerable wealth, and bore responsibility for the destruction of Laura's family when she was barely beyond toddler stage. The novel has a rich cast of characters and has lots of thrilling (and bloody) action scenes which any fan of the horror/suspense genre will enjoy reading.

As a 'Horror' fan I often read books by authors I've not heard of before, I picked this up as a 'might as well check it out' from the library, honestly, Emson did not disappoint! Puts a new slant on the Werewolf genre and keeps the reader turning the page, (which is what a good book is all about yeah?), would easily recommend it! ;)

I read the vampire series years ago and loved them so I was keen to try this series too. I really enjoyed it, and had it not been for the crazy number of references to people feeling like they were going to pass themselves (in one chapter it was about 4 times!!) I wouldnhave given 5 stars!
July 26, 2016
Point-of-view is all over the place in this book. It's not uncommon for random John Doe to narrate one chapter, as an outside perspective, and then never be heard from again. So what happened to John Doe? Who cares, he's clearly not important (although apparently important enough to narrate that one chapter). Occasionally John Doe will have two or even three chapters before disappearing, fate unknown. Let's be fair here: we never get to the point of head-hopping, and there are some secondary characters whose point-of-view passages offer someting to further the plot. The one-off characters, though, broaden the focus so much that focus gets a bit lost.
In spite of that, Laura is an interesting and complex character, and one of the reasons I wish we could narrow down the point-of-view a bit is so we can see more of her, rather than seeing what she looks like as a passing glance from John Doe. She's not worried about society's constraints, taboos, or morals. Laura has a gray sort of morality, and given the right motivations, can be persuaded to torture and kill or to save the same guy from the same situation. The best part is that she's equally interesting as hero or villain, which makes her pretty well-rounded and we need more fictional characters like her around.
Maneater involves a number of mini-mysteries as a way of ramping up tension, and sometimes these work and sometimes they don't. In an effort to draw out the drama, though, we get some visible author sleight-of-hand, wherein a character will be shocked by the contents of a letter and then fail to reveal the shiny new secret to the reader. Said character will, however, pass it on to another character, who will in turn also be shocked. And again. And again. This trick can work once, possibly twice if the author is very clever, but when it becomes a recurring theme it changes from something that will drive the reader to keep turning pages to discover what this letter is about and becomes an annoyance. It also increases the risk of the reader guessing the secret before the author has a chance to do the reveal, which is a shame because a good plot twisty revelation is at its most fun when it both makes sense and is surprising.
The book sort of stops rather than really ending. This story is finished but instead of a real conclusion we get the sort of wrapup that assures us of another book, the dreaded sequel bait. Could the book have ended another way, with a little more finality and a little less "pls to buy my new book, Prey, now available everywhere"? Well, I do believe Emson started with an idea for Laura's tale to be two or three books long, and Maneater wraps up the first chapter of that tale. It ends in a natural place to pause the tale, but I can't decide if it's a mark for or against the book that we end in a place so blatantly looking for a sequel. Let's be fair, without the last chapter I'd be griping about how I wondered about the people who did manage to survive and what happened to them. With it, I'm calling sequel bait. Honestly, I'm not sure which I prefer, but either way it's something a reader might appreciate a head's up on.

This is the 3rd Emson book that I have read and I am hooked on this author. He doesn't hold back on the details, the grim & the gore.
Maneater is not your typical supernatural novel, it's more about family legacies, revenge, greed, power.
Laura is the beautiful, mysterious character, who is portrayed to some degree as not giving a damn about anyone but under her tough exterior is someone that does actually care.
The plot doesn't just focus solely on Laura & her enemies, there is a rapist on the loose as well and in typical Emson style, he has you thinking you know who the crim is but then he pulls the rug from under you & you are left scratching your head wondering who it is until the person is caught.
I love Emson's writing style, he keeps the chapters short but sweet, interchanges between character's roles in the story but without confusing where and you're at. He takes you way back into history to explain the main character's backgrounds & he chucks in a little bit of religious out take but not in a God bothering way.

The first werewolf tale I've read in years, from an author new to me, and I'm impressed. I'm not sure it can properly be labelled as horror, but it's a pacy, very well judged supernatural thriller, full of well written characters, and a well plotted central mystery. If I've a complaint at all, it would be that the cast of secondary characters is probably too full, to the point that when the identity of a serial killer is revealed to be somebody who featured earlier in the book, I had to flick back to remind myself who it was. The subplots themselves may be one to many too, the serial killing falling off the edge of the central conflicts, but the book moves so quickly, I can't honestly say it distracted me too much. Criticism in restrospect, because I had a good time with this book, finishing it in a couple of days. Snowbooks again proves that, when it comes to genre fiction, they've got my tastes down to a tee.

Laura has come to London to kill a man. Sir Adam Templeton had her family killed in one horrific night around twenty years ago. Their families had been feuding for thousands of years and now, on her side there was just Laura. One young woman against a family with infinite wealth and connections within the political arena. One young girl who could turn into a werewolf... She just wants to eat Adam Templeton up.
I found this book fairly hard to get into I put this solely down to the very small chapters. Some were only a page or so long and I found it disturbed the flow of the story. However, I quickly became used to them and started to really enjoy the plot and characters. It is not an urban fantasy but neither does it fall under the mantle of horror. I think thriller suits it best. Good story, fast paced and I really loved the character of Laura. Three and a half stars.

This was one of those books where the reader is thrust straight into the action with no explanation of who the characters are and their relationship to each other. It had short chapters, each of which tended to focus on a different character or part of the situation so the reader could begin to work out the connections. It sounds chaotic, but it was done really well, so it was intruiging and mostly kept my interest. The plot did slow up a bit in the second quarter of the book because it seemed to go over the same information repeatedly. I don't need to read about a character being arrogant and unpleasant too often to work out they they are arrogant and unpleasant. However, the plot soon picked up speed again and raced on to the end, which was quite something.

Very well written. I enjoyed it a lot and it was such a different take on the typical werewolf. It was really interesting reading it from a man's point of view, not a female author's take on a man.
I found the sexual content at time's was a bit much for me to read, because I wasn't used to it. It just goes to show how much men really do think about sex. You couldn't imagine Edward Cullen's narrative when first meeting Bella Swan startin with something like, "Oooo I wanna do her." or "she's got a nice butt" etc etc. Har har.
The gore was really descriptive and made me cringe in a lot of places which books very rarely have done with me, I'm not easily spooked.
I'm looking forward to reading the next one.
It loses a star for the O.T.T sex talk but like I said, it's just me.

She's not sweet. She's not nice. She doesn't fight evil. She doesn't protect the weak. She doesn't work in an office by day and have a secret identity by night. She doesn't have friends and family who know nothing about her, but when they find out they love her anyway. She's not cool. She's not clever. She's not kind to animals. She won't help children, the elderly, and those less fortunate than herself.
In fact, she doesn't care. But if you hurt her, she will kill you. Actually, she'll do worse than that. . .Meet Laura. She'll eat you alive.
meh i was underwhelmed - i liked the premise of a maneater werewolf - but i didnt care about the characters (or most of the story)

The storyline is well paced with short spiky chapters. I like the fact that the creature can change at will, no full moon etc. and towards the end we see her human side while she's in her wolf guise. There's a handful of repeated descriptive words that started to annoy me, 'fusty' 'leached' and 'furrowed', maybe a change of phrase would have indicated the author had thought more about what he was saying. In the second to last chapter, there's much made of furrowed brows. This said though, Maneater takes a new look at the werewolf genre and gives it a new lease of life. A great storyline, some excellent twists and sub-plots to get the reader engaged. There's also great scope for a sequel.

Oh, this is a good werewolf book! I am looking forward to reading the sequel (though it looks like I may have a bit of a hard time tracking it down!). Still, I had a feeling that I would like this one from its description alone. It is a darker, rougher werewolf book with plenty of gore and violence! The likable characters balance that out. I think this would make for an absolutely thrilling movie! I really enjoyed this fast-paced and fun read!
April 28, 2010
Maneater i found was a very easy read. The short chapters which always ended on a cliff hanger mean't you wanted to read on and the plot was well formulated.
This is one of those stories where we have about five different charecter perspecitives of the same story that all seem irrelevant until they all merge together at the end.
Well written and very good, however not good enough for me to want to immediatly go out ang buy another book by this author.

Maneater is the third book that I read by this author and have to say that I am rather impressed with his style. It is a fast moving intriguing book that keeps you entertained until the final page. The main characters are well drawn out and the episodic way the book is written lends itself to be read quite quickly. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a new voice in horror.
March 25, 2013
Amazing.Literally, AMAZING. I love this book SO much. Thomas Emson really knows how to make the characters jump right out of the pages! It was so sad towards the end though... kinda tore me apart just as Laura and Thorn were falling for each other. :') Honestly, I love Emson's werewolves. An awesome author, he is! <3

She's not sweet, she's not nice.
This tells you about this book, no cuddly werewolf, but one that rips you throat out without a second thought oh yes.
One of the best novels I have read, this author is one to watch

I was pleasantly suprised at how good this book was. I thought it would just be a dark manly type of book, but it was really good and heartfelt and you could understand where each character stood. I would love to see this as a movie! It would be excellent!

What a fab read, dark and mysterious, gory and suspense filled. A great tale with a few twists along the way.
September 23, 2011
Enjoyed this book quite a lot.. you see a different and more explicit side of the now popular 'werewolf'

Starting to really like this author.

As a previous reviewer stated, a major downfall in this book is the rather large secondary cast of characters but I'd also add that the narrative would switch between timeframes rather wildly to the point where I would occasionally lose track of the plot... possibly my own problem, but apart from that an entertaining werewolf story from an author I hadn't read before.
