Prowlers #1
Prowlers
An ancient race of sentient predators lives amongst us. Their numbers are few and they hide themselves well - like all predators, they are expert at the art of concealing themselves from their prey. They can pass as human, and blend seamlessly in to human society, whether it be in the guise of cunning corporate lawyers like Eric Carver, or gangland psychopaths like alpha male Owen Tanzer. They are not werewolves - but they are the reality that lies behind the legend of werewolves. When bar-owner Jack Dwyer's best friend Artie is brutally murdered, his restless spirit leads Jack to uncover the truth. Jack burns to avenge Artie's death - but who will believe his story of who or what the murderers really are? Jack is on his own - except for his girlfriend Molly, his sister Courtney and their head barman, Bill, who hides a potentially shocking secret under the skin. The four of them must destroy the pack that threatens to take over Boston, before they themselves are hunted down as prey.

Prowlers, animals that masquerade as men...
Christopher Golden has created a story that recreates werewolf mythology in a fresh, new mold. No curse, no magic, these guys are beasts that have evolved to imitate people. I was hooked by the idea and stayed hooked all the way through to the last page.
Golden has injected these beasts into his story-world that includes the Body of Evidence YA crime thillers. Boston is the backdrop, familiar places and characters pop up from the previous series into this one. However, that is where the similarity ends...this is a new story and is definitely geared more for supernatural adventure than suspense.
As much as I loved the book, I have to point out the thing that bugged me. I will try to avoid spoilers and just say that there were some coincidences that kick-start the plot at times. Early in the story it works well, but they add up over time to strain the believability. Having read and enjoyed Golden's work many times before, I will have no problem overlooking this detail long enough to pick up the next book in this series.
If you like monster tales set in the "real" world, then check this out. It is a fairly short, quick read and is well worth your time.

(This review may contain spoilers).
I read this book series originally quite a while ago and found myself really engaged by it. While I do think werewolves are as over-used as vampires have been, I found the Prowlers different and unique enough to really engage me throughout this book. And that was helped along by the fact the characters were interesting enough that I cared about them and what was happening.
While the start of the book didn't really have much action to it, I found myself enjoying the relationship between Jack and his sister in particular. It was good to see the characters from each others' eyes. The Prowlers were little more than animals, though, and I would have liked a little bit more depth than actually ended up being shown about them. The Pack hierarchy was really interesting to view, but some of the decisions made by the pack leader seemed to be really arrogant and something that would end up with them being discovered. I was left with the problem that if they didn't care about being discovered, why would they concern themselves with hiding their lair in the first place?
One of the really interesting aspects I found about this book was the Ghostlands. There wasn't enough detail about why only Jack could see them and not anyone else, but the descriptions of the world were enough that, in some respects, they felt more real than the world of the living.
One of my favourite parts of this book was the fact that it didn't follow the formula of the main character being disbelieved by everyone around him. It was really good to see how he was trusted enough by his family that they knew he was telling the truth, even if Jack couldn't tell them everything about what he was seeing.
One of my favourite characters in this book was probably Artie. He was more interesting as a ghost than he was alive and the fact that he wasn't alive anymore added a lot of conflict and depth to his friendship with Jack that made both more interesting.
I found this book drew me in really easily once more, despite having read it before. I definitely plan to re-read the remaining three books soon in the future.

A fun book. (mild but not really spoilers below)
The books always start off feeling a bit juvenile but then pick up speed, or, I notice it less as the plot progresses.
The concept isn't all that fresh but I can appreciate the way Golden brings the characters to life and likes to indulge in this feeling of "whoa, reality has been shaken for me."
Sometimes I think he hits the speed button just a bit too much. Characters, like Eric, seem to be going somewhere in the book, only to leave the novel way too quickly. And if we weren't seeing the book from both the perspective of Jack, and from the prowlers, the logical leaps would seem even larger. Oh! they must have a lair... because that sounds right! and to stop them, we have to find the lair... because that makes sense! the police are involved in a massive cover up but if we guilt this one not-in-charge guy, he will bring the entire force to kill them!
and obviously, the ghosts were filling in a lot of knowledge gaps.
I think like a lot of authors, movies etc., he was really indulging himself in "harder side of Boston" but I have my doubts this is rooted in anything other than impressions gained from other books. The rough n' tough parts just seem too obviously trying to garner my sympathy (like the drunk mom who is the most 2d character in the book). I also really hope that the rich people who show up and order bloody steaks had SOME relevance in the next books, otherwise, it was unnecessary to the point of being distracting, trying way too hard to get in the characters head of "oo, rich people are normally snobby and act like they're schlubbing it, but THESE rich people ACTUALLY seem NICE and REAL" like... come on. Who really thinks like that, or experiences interactions with people wearing nice sweaters and white teeth like that??
But, a nice read, breezed through a lot of it on a 6 hour bus ride.

incredible series of books. all the books that have been made into movies and this gets overlooked. the storytelling is so cinematic it practically makes its self. I fell in love with the world from the opening scene and read through the four books in a weekend. I have read they series multiple time over the last few years and don't ever see myself being done with it. This is easily my all time favorite series. as a writer myself I hope someone someday feels the same way about my world as I do about this one.

I have such a different perspective about this book compared to reading it as it came out in the early 2000s, especially that it was marketed as YA. It's basically a paranormal show for adults that was never picked up and that's a sin. It's Grimm, it's ___ (insert show here). Golden writes cinematically without ever forgetting he's an author, something that served him so well as "the Buffy guy." I forgot about that twist!

Really Good Book
Really, this is directed at teenage readers, but I liked the twist on popular horror themes and adored the characters.
This kept me engaged throughout the book and willing the leads to survive.

After finishing PROWLERS, the first book in this series by Christopher Golden, the only question I have is why it's proclaimed to be a young adult read. I guess it's because the main character, Jack Dwyer, is nineteen--but besides their age, there's nothing about this book that would make it strictly for young adult readers!
Jack's life is pretty predictable. Ever since the death of his mother in a car accident that also injured his sister, Courtney, the two have run Bridget's Irish Rose Pub together, making it into the type of pub/restaurant that their mother would have been proud of. Jack didn't attend college after high-school, but he's part owner of the Pub, has a number of friends, and is basically content with his life. He's even gotten a date with Kate, a friend of Molly's, who dates Jack's best friend, Artie.
Life is good, until after their double-date, when Jack and Molly have been dropped off at their respective houses, and things get ugly really quickly. Kate and Artie are found dead--mutilated and brutally murdered. The cops don't know what to make of it, and Jack--along with Molly--are existing in a sort of limbo, trying to come to terms with the death of their friends and loved ones.
And then Artie comes back--as a spirit from the Ghostlands, the place where spirits reside until they're ready to move on--to warn Jack about the Prowlers. Prowlers--monsters in human clothing, a lot like werewolves but different, who prey on humans and who are responsible for Kate and Artie's deaths.
What is Jack supposed to make of this? First, he can suddenly see ghosts. Secondly, there's monsters roaming the streets of Boston, and he feels compelled to bring them to justice. With cops covering up the murders that are soon piling up in town (including a nasty dispatch of some security guards at Fenway Park), Jack has no one to turn to except Molly, his sister Courtney, and the Pub's bartender, Bill Cantwell.
A fast-paced, compelling, thrilling, and often greusome read, PROWLERS was absolutely awesome! Action, the paranormal, the story of love and friendship, all weave together to make this a book you won't be able to put down once you start reading. I highly recommend it, and can't wait to read the next book in the series.

Christopher Golden’s Prowlers reshaped my perspective for it’s unique descriptive words and excotic climax. Jack wants revenge, but the prowlers are thirsty for blood.
The author illustrates a theme that most other writers don’t, and it is to keep your friends close and never let them go. I say this because the main character Jack loses his best friend Artie. Golden’s style of writing is very distinct and one of a kind, I love his rare descriptive words that keeps the story flow. Also the great plots in the story make me as a reader understand where the setting is taking place. One down side of the story is that the author doesn’t introduce the characters all the way in the beginning of the story, so you have to read along throughout the story to piece together the puzzle of each character. From my opinion I really like Jack Dwyer as a character in the book because of his bravery and optimism. An example of Jack’s Braveness is when him and Molly are in the subway fighting a werewolf and then Jack takes the guitar and smashes it over the prowlers head. Something that I really love about the book is the setting that Golden intertwined through the book, the plot isn’t just in one place, it’s all over the city of Boston. It almost as if I were to close my eyes I would be able to see the setting perfectly. The main parts of the book are for me to know and you readers to find out, but these prowlers are something else that you’ll have to read and find out about. From my perspective I can’t really make any connections to this book because I haven’t read anything as exciting and jam packed like this one. Plus it doesn’t connect to my personal life because werewolves are surreal.
All in all I would recommend this book to anyone who wants a good thrill and seeking great surprises from unique characters.

This is one of my favourites, its not too magical and has just the right amount of gruesome and ghostly eeriness that i crave for, nice detailing in the different locations, and has me wishing to read faster to find out what happens but also has me wanting to read slower to imagine it more! I fell for jack within the first few lines he entered the book, and that love stayed throughout the books, and the intricate relationship between him and molly, his best friend artie is one i get excited about whenever he enters because im never quite sure what he is goin to say or react to certain situation, i love all the characters and i always find it exciting when i (rarely) find an author who can tell a story and i can instantly see the characters clearly in my mind with their personalities way before the characters have even been described, looks wise and then later personality, i love that!
So i have the complete collection of prowlers, and i still read it over and over, its one of those books you just cant get bored of, and its thrilling every time i read it, i recommend it to everyone, christopher golden is a hero, for bringin to me jack dwyer! Its creepy, dark, the creatures seem frightening and animalistic but also human and sexy, the dialect is humorous and compelling! I really cant fault it, it might not be for everyone but its certainly for me

This was an interesting take on shifters, one that I wish would have been explained better. What did save the story for me was Jack, Artie, and Molly. These kids didn't act like kids and when push came to shove stood to take care of things. Jack and Molly took some hard hits, yet they fought back. I really like the way things seem to be headed for them. Bill and Courtney were interesting too and I loved that when Jack started spilling his secrets they didn't automatically think he was crazy. The secrets that were spilled were ones that I didn't see coming. I wish there were more books with these characters, I would love to see what happens to them.

I really enjoyed this book. I cannot give a better review than that of Jennifer Wardrip, so I'll refer you there.
The characters were very easy to relate to, the storyline was interesting and the Prowlers were wild. Loved Jack, his friendships, his family, his story!

Read the whole series and this is a firm favourite of mine. Great series with a fresh twist on the old werewolf ideas. Where many books about werewolves are tiresome and samey this one feels different, a bit more exciting. The story is easy to follow but there's plenty of surprises too and I enjoyed Golden's style of writing.

Fantastic read,i loved the way the character in the book could see between worlds of the living and dead, it was a fantastic read,i've read it several times and never get sick of it.Fast paced.exciting.

This was a wonderful, though short lived series, but this first book isn't nearly as good as the other three but you need to read it in order to read the other three next. It's not fabulous, but it's okay. The first half of the book is kinda slow but it gets better after that.

Good read
I lucked up on finding this book scanning through titles about werewolves. I've never heard of a prowler but was intrigued. My first read by author Christopher Golden and was very pleased. New, dangerous, and a mystery all wrapped up in this book!!!!

Great book
I like all the suspense building throughout the story. It was a little slow in my opinion ,but that would be all the suspense I was talking about. However anyone who like suspense and paranormal will love this book! Hope you guys enjoy and congrats to the author.
