Book Club Read
One of my book clubs decided to go through all existing Coldstone Case Files for their October meeting - werewolves make good Halloween lore, especially Mr. Gilbert's version which is not the cute-fuzzy version of man-wolf, with the two forms of man and wolf, and the wolf is treated like a puppy.
Nope, James, the main character is limited to two forms but they are man and WEREWOLF - an 8 foot tall creature whose arms double as running legs as needed, and claws cut through stomach and tear off faces. Whose bite removes heads. Serious Monster here. Puppies who willingly take a leash and pretend to pass for a dog will get stepped on.
Last book centered around a murder, which gave it a "cozy mystery" feel when James' police friend Philip brings him in on a case. This book continues to develop that mystery, now the murders are done, following the crime syndicate structure which supported the murders down the rabbit hole which is Human Trafficking.
And Mr. Gilbert (the author), while placing this is as Urban Fantasy world, while going for cheap, easy laughs between friends, while doing all the things to make an ENTERTAINING book, doesn't cut corners or belittle the seriousness of Human Trafficking, especially in relation to minor children. North Carolina is 6th in the nation for Human Trafficking - so this is very real, and very urgent. Something I care passionately about. (#StopChildLabor; #AbolishSlavery; #NoChocolateThursday)
Wolfmoon is a good book that takes on the crime novel, but doesn't go for the easy murder mystery. Murder is far from the only criminal activity. Human Trafficking is very profitable, so the layers to this mystery and investigation have to chug through some serious layers of Criminal Syndicate. All the while playing with vampires, werewolves, and succubus. Entertaining. The focus is on entertaining.

Like the first book in the series, this is quick read. I still like the buddy cops type banter between werewolf Jason and his best friend and cop, Phillip. It's like a fun eighties action movie.
Jason and Phillip are trying to find the young adult woman and the ten-year old girl who were kidnapped in the first book. They make a new ally and root out some more baddies. There are more supernatural fights, murders, and dismemberments and a few curse words thrown about. Fun times.

James and Phillip are still searching for the missing girls, and are joined by Lacy a vampire, who is also searching for a missing girl. Good book, that has built on the first to make a better story. James struggle with the wolf was interesting and shows the wolf as a distinct character as well.
