About this ebook
Ada and Harriet don't know what to expect when they meet their new guardian, Mr. Wolfson. Here is a strangely magnetic, darkly amusing man confined to a wheelchair and flanked by a pair of fierce, dangerous dogs—an enigmatic benefactor, at once welcoming and intimidating. Even more unsettling to the girls are Wolfson's two sons, Julian and Francis. One of them is warm and good-natured, the other is pure malevolence. But young Harriet is about to discover a frightening truth: that evil runs rampant throughout their mysterious new home, Abbey Manor, and the surrounding moors—especially when the moon comes out . . .

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Pure gothic suspense. Two young heiresses sent to live in a mansion out on the moors of Yorkshire, completely removed from any society, with a mysterious guardian they've never met: check.Old abandoned half-ruined monastery: check.2 misunderstood sons, one dark and brooding, one sensitive and artistic: checkRampant superstition about mythical creatures: checkOne supposedly untameable black stallion: checkBig hounds roaming the moors: checkGypsies: check Sons of the Wolf has it all in spades. Unfortunately, I didn't really connect with any of the characters enough to make the fantastically insane and relatively dark plot work. I didn't hate it, but I wasn't at all invested in it, making a lot of small things I probably wouldn't notice if I were neck deep in the story stand out and irk me. I didn't hate it; if someone were in the mood for a gothic story, it might provide a fun afternoon. But it wasn't one of Michaels best.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A true Gothic set in Victorian England. The cast: a beautiful heiress, the intelligent elder sister of the heiress, the crippled but charming guardian and his sons: one, the gentle, refined younger son and the other the outspoken, sometimes drunken, oldest son. Throw in a manor, a ruined abbey, and gypsies and everything is set for the story. Being Barbara Michaels, the author throws in twists. This one kept me going to the very end.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I'm not generally interested in Gothic or suspense novels, but I do enjoy Michaels' books. Nicely done twist at the ending.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Very Mary Stewart- ish i.e. "Touch Not the Cat" Nothing too unique but still a pretty awesome gothic romance.
