Is it a one off?

Format:Hardcover
I will admit that I am one who clings to an author when I am amused. I ran across Tom Holt, and have been reading his books as I find them. This installment had me curious, given that he had apparently just wound down a series [which is now revived in You Don't Have To Be Evil To Work Here. I am suspicious that this novel may be another tack into the supernatural business world, just from the point of view of attorneys.
As always, I do enjoy his twists on the supernatural, and the book kept moving for the most part. Was it as side clutching as the first time I read Flying Dutchman? Well, no, but then Holt was a brand new commodity on my bookshelf. This was a solid addition, though perhaps not a starter. If you are looking for a track into the Holt universe, I would start with the fist of the JW Wells novels with Paul - the Portable Door, I believe - because you have the luxury of learning about this supernatural business world along with Paul, the main character.
If you're already hip deep in, like I am, then I suspect you'll enjoy this book. You get his take on werewolves [thus the title] and vampires, and it's not entirely the classic models - par for the HoltCourse.

This was my introduction to Tom Holt. The idea of werewolves and vampires, scourges of man-kind, running high-power law firms is one of the funniest ideas for a story. I enjoyed the addition of the old saw about "death and taxes" into it.

I was really impressed at first but it could have been much better by the end. There's also an implausible falling in love plot.
Read it for amusement. I mean, come on, bloodsuckers and ambulance chasers? That's ingenious. This man obviously has experience as a financial lawyer (this is boringly made clear). A 3-star rating doesn't mean I won't read more of his books; it just means not to expect too much.
