5.0 out of 5 stars I love you Sparkle!, Sep 23 2002

By

Ei "crzybookmoovielover" (Seekonk, Massachusetts) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Naked Brunch (Hardcover)

Sparkle Hayter is my new favorite writer of all time. She knows how to blend equally interesting dialogue and comedic moments in this story of Annie Engel, who finds out that she is a werewolf. She also finds out there are others out there in the city just like her. She is diagnosed by a crazy broken hearted psychiatrist, Marco Potenza, who is also a werewolf, as having Lycanthropic Metamorphic Disorder(LMD), which is just a fancy schmanzy term for being a werewolf. He brings her into his clinic where he helps others like her to live in peace with this unusual disorder. Annie is the first female of their kind to stay since the days of Sarah, the woman who broke Marco's heart. He is after Sarah's ex, Jim, since him and his wife, Carol, found out that Jim had faked his own death after Sarah's mysterious death.
Marco comes from a family of werewolves whose main preoccupation is to help the creatures like them live in harmony with being the kind of person they are. They can't help it, it's genetic!

Annie meets all sorts of interesting characters that help to keep the frantic pace of this comical and unique story of the "last nice girl in the city" turning into a werewolf.
There are so many characters introduced, one can get confused, but every one of these people has some signifigance to the story as it unfolds.
Werewolves in this story only kill bad people, so you can't help but side with the wolves, and you want to see them survive the chase of Marco and his team. Marco's wife Carol is the savior to that group. She is a wonderful character in this myriad of cast of characters.
Jim is the werewolf that Annie eventually falls in love with, and they have quite an adventure together living on the run and eventually running to live.

Sparkle Hayter has a truly unique vision into this work of fiction. It is one of the most well written stories I have read in my entire life of reading fiction. She knows how to keep the pace up, keep the reader fascinated with what is happening, and makes us laugh, almost in spite at times.

I highly recommend this!!

4.0 out of 5 stars A marvellous morality tale, Jun 19 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Naked Brunch: A howlingly funny novel of love run wild (Paperback)

I admit I was disappointed at first that this wasn't a Robin Hudson novel, but once I got into the story and the characters, I couldn't stop reading. I love the way Hayter followed the characters' stories and tied them together in the end. A great read for the beach or that long plane trip!

5.0 out of 5 stars Sparkle's break-through!, Jun 13 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Naked Brunch: A howlingly funny novel of love run wild (Paperback)

I've read several Sparkle Hayter books, and this one must mark a new turn in her career. It is so unique and beautifully written, with charm and wit. I liked her Robin Hudson books just fine, but I loved this book. I've never read anything like it! Werewolves: A Love Story. Buy this book!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars An urban werewolf tale
Clever, fun, and easy to read, this book tells the tale of a mousy woman turned carnivorous vigilante. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Different Kind of Beach Read
An offbeat werewolf tale, lighthearted but also dark in equal measures. recommended.
