Laws of Nature

Prowlers #2

by Christopher Golden

The Prowlers saga continues...and deep in the rural backwoods lies the nature of the beast within. The remnants of the Prowler pack once led by Owen Tanzer has retreated into the hills and woods of rural Vermont, where a number of unexplained deaths soon has Jack Dwyer on their trail. But the woods hide a sacred meeting ground the Prowlers have guarded for centuries, and the quiet town of Buckton is much more than it seems. The town hosts a Prowler community which has existed for generations alongside their human neighbours, sublimating their instinct for blood in order to live undetected and undisturbed. Their patriarch has even written a secret history in which he reveals their true nature and tries to explain the world from their point of view. Then their peace is shattered forever by the renegades in the woods, and the Prowlers of Buckton have to choose once and for all which side they are on. Meanwhile the crucial question for Jack becomes which of the townsfolk are human -- and which are not.

Reviews

[Cyn Bagley]

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]

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.

[Leah M]

This was my favourite book,i read it many times,just loved it!!

[Jay Martin]

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

[Latertuesday]

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.

[Gareth Park]

one of my favourite series my best friend put me onto when we were 9-10, taken me ages to find it again

[Ian]

More of the same with a lot more gore, but again i thought it was overlong in places!
