When Eleni decides to meet up with her old lover in a secret reunion, she has no idea what’s in store. She hadn’t seen Ben in years. He has never met his son. Their time together holds a special place in her heart, but there had been a horrible infraction, keeping them apart. Ben had been accused of a horrific murder. A young, beautiful woman had been tortured to death. Eleni knows her Ben would never commit such a horrible crime. Sure he was bit protective, controlling- but that was because of his love for her. If only the truth would come out and Ben could stop running. They could be a family.

With her heart dictating her common sense, Eleni drags her young son into a cold, dark nightmare as she leaves the safety of normal society to meet Ben and opts for a cabin in the Alaskan wilds to the very cabin in which Jacob was conceived. Danger lurks all around. Wolves and the elements are just two of her horrors, as her situation only escalates when visitors arrive.

It is rare these days that a book can keep me moving through the chapters, but WOLVES AT NIGHT by Sarah McDermott Jain did exactly that. This story pulls you in even as your hating the dread in your soul. Eleni’s character is full of surprising as her survival mode kicks in.

I highly recommend this awesome read and look forward to reading more books by this talented author.

Thought this might be a whole story about being trapped in a cabin and having to fight off wolves. It's not. I spent quite a bit of time trying to read faster to get through certain parts without feeling so anxious. I mean that in a good way! The "skipping ahead just to make sure your character is okay" kind of way. No spoilers from me but if you like that feeling, then read this book.

This new author is promising. Right from the first chapter, she had me captivated from the start and never let go. Best page-turner I've read in a long time.

I met the author who was book signing at Barnes and Noble. She was so personable and nice, I decided to purchase. Let me tell you, I’ve never read a book so fast. The suspense was so nail biting that I had to see what happened to the character. Great read, Sara!
