This is an original review from Booked & Loaded Rating: 4.5/5
To Skin a Wolf is the 4th book in A.L. Kessler's Here Witchy Witchy urban fantasy series. Secrets are unraveling and I can't wait for the next book!
The Here Witchy Witchy series continues to draw me in. In To Skin a Wolf the element of creepy reached new levels...the title says it all! I was captivated by the conflict, action and mystery on every page. Kessler continues to open the curtains a little more on secrets surrounding Abigail and it drives me mad, in the best way possible. Every layer that gets pulled back seems to lead to a hidden door, which makes for an entertaining read and a world that I enjoy visiting.
Abigail's character development and strength makes her easily relatable. The fact that she can be strong and confident, but not self-centered and selfish is one of my favorite character traits. SOOOO many times I read female characters that are either one or the other and it is a breath of fresh air to have the two joined together and retain an organic feel.
If you are a fan of Urban Fantasy and are looking for your next binge-worthy series, this is one that won't disappoin
The mystery about the wolves was really good. Abby is working the case alone. She has to work with the pack. So Simon was back in this book. Really enjoyed this one and also some of the secrets revealed. This is a good UF series with a strong lead character. Love the series.
Am loving this series more and more with each one I read. The characters have really rounded out now and what struck me this time with the story centred on the wolves, they felt more rounded and believable. Our previous encounters have felt a little like they were still pack animals and I doubted their ability to function in society, whereas this time, despite them still being 'animal' I got a more balanced vibe. The vampires certainly became more interesting and we learnt a lot about Abby's past. The story had me the whole way through and I moved straight onto the next!
This was a great sequel to book 3. It really kept me turning the pages.
It would be a 5 star except for the editing but I was told that was getting updated this weekend so just assume this is a 4.5 star review.
I can't wait to see what book 5 has in store. I love Abby and I totally totally saw that coming with the vampire king. Felt good to be right about a prediction!
This book was filled with action. There were so many things going on, and it was captivating. From the very beginning to the end, it was a great read. There are still so many questions that need answering, and I can't wait for book #5.
Oh poor Abigail! The big reveal at the end was NOT what I expected at all - and Ira remains on the loose. Since this is only book 4 of 12 currently available, much more needs to be uncovered!
Great series! Each book has something new and more exciting. Focusing on career and safety, uncomplicated by romantic or physical distractions, Abby's life is always in a state of upheaval. Well done!
Same great characters, but the crimes committed are gruesome. This is one I read quickly through the night because I wanted to see justice done. That bad guy had to go. Could not put it down.
I will concede that the mysteries and solving of them is ok. However,the world building and fleshing out if characters is naff. Always knew that cat was weird.
I knew it! But now I have new questions. The reason she can't kill Ira makes no sense to me yet! Driving me nuts! What's the deal with Nick? And is Abby and Simon going to actually hook up? They both love each other. In reading these books I'm starting to feel lonely for her. Lol buying the next book now. ♥️
Amusing and laugh out loud funny when long kept secrets and surprises are revealed. You can't help but like Abigail Collins as she investigates paranormal cases, with her usual snarkiness and threats of shooting people.
