Not all vacation packages offer free vampires, grisly murders, and those drinks with the little umbrellas in them. James Coldstone tracks his quarry to Westenra Island-a remote manmade resort that caters only to the wealthiest people, some with an interest other than getting away for a weekend of lavish parties and walks on the beach. Between specific vacationers being slaughtered at night and the upcoming auction event, James begins to realize that even the people he trusts the most are keeping secrets from him. Despite the chaos, he is hellishly set on one save Mindy and destroy the darkest evil he has ever faced. Wolfheart is the thrilling climax to Season One of The Coldstone Files from Jason Gilbert, author of The Clockworks of War series!
Short, but not too sweet. This conclusion to the first “season” makes me want to go back and re-binge the whole thing. Lots of werewolf action, snark, and sparks — can’t wait for season two!
The dynamic between James and Lacy is amusing and powerful. The layers of worldbuilding for this series of novellas keep on getting better. What is happening with each of these people: Lacy, Mindy, Phillip, the Wolf, and Agent Smith? - each person brings a wallop of complications for James. Everything is about relationships and the strings that come attached to these people (and the wolf).
But it isn't all about brains, interactions, and worldbuilding - LOTS OF ACTION - lots of werewolf, rip-the-world-apart action.
The end of the first four novella arch delivers on everything building since Wolfbane.
James and Lacy continue the search for the taken girls and find themselves on a private island. As they close in, they come up against tougher and tougher vampires and a new threat. Good series, will be interesting to see what season two brings.
