About this ebook

From the day he was born, Wolfsbane Bendis, second son of the illustrious Bendis line, has been destined to go into the family business. Raised and trained from childhood as a werewolf hunter, Wolfsbane has been taught that werewolves are the enemy of all humanity and must be exterminated. However, after a fateful battle with a particularly dangerous werewolf leaves him bitten and adrift, old doubts begin to surface and he—with a little help from his newfound friend Falor Danek—rejects his obligation to end his own life and decides to continue living as a werewolf.

Just as he seems to be settling into a new normal, however, he is summoned back to his family home for an extended visit to celebrate his older brother’s birthday. Now, Wolfsbane and Falor must work to keep Wolfsbane’s transformation a secret while he struggles to get a grip on his developing lycanthropic powers. But how long can they keep up the masquerade? And is there more to Wolfsbane’s rebirth than meets the eye?

Author

Danielle Freeman

Danielle Freeman is an independent author who specializes in fantasy and sci-fi. A natural storyteller from an early age, her love of literature and writing was seeded and cultivated by her mother--who not only took it upon herself to make sure that her children were fluent readers by the time that they began school but also took Danielle and her sister on frequent weekly trips to the local library.In addition to writing, Freeman loves drawing and is a big fan of animation and comics, both American and international. Her favorite titles span the content spectrum from Alan Moore and David Gibbons' gritty and influential superhero deconstruction "Watchmen" to the wacky and nonsensical anime series "Excel Saga".In her own work, Freeman goes by two main rules:1. Always write the kind of story that you yourself would want to read.2. Always leave them wanting more.

    This is a cool concept: a werewolf hunter gets bitten and, instead of taking his own life as his code requires, decides to see what life would be like as a werewolf.

    It’s a well-conceived story, too. Well-conceived enough to make me want to keep reading to find out what happens next.

    The writing, though? Not so great. For starters, there’s an inordinate amount of exclamation marks, both in dialogue and the narration. And not just one at the end of a sentence, either; when you find an exclamation mark, you’d be hard-pressed to find fewer than three consecutive ones.

    Interrobangs, too. In fact, I don’t think there’s a single question mark that isn’t followed by an exclamation mark.

    It reminds me of that old writing quote, about how a single exclamation mark every hundred thousand words should be more than enough (was that Mark Twain? I can’t exactly remember). It’s like swearing: people sometimes pepper their speech with swear words to make a point or for dramatic effect, but when every second word is a swear word, it loses its impact and just gets silly. There aren’t that many swear words in this book, though, so it’s got that going for it.

    I also think it was a bad decision to have two main characters’ names so similar, because I often got confused between Falor and Falcon, and those are two very different characters indeed.

    Although I didn’t spot any typos or spelling errors, I did see a lot of incorrectly used words, like “dinner role” instead of “dinner roll”. A spell checker wouldn’t have picked these up, but a good editor definitely should have.

    Another thing that a good editor should have picked up is the redundancy. Everyone thinks things “to themselves”, which unfortunately jumped out at me because it’s something I used to struggle with myself, and got raked over the coals for. Unless you’re writing about telepaths, thinking to oneself is redundant because, honestly, who else would your character be thinking to?

    Similarly, smirking and smiling to oneself. It’s probably not technically redundant, but in ninety percent of cases, it’s obvious.

    There was one thing, one stylistic choice that I found interesting. When characters talk, the author uses double quotation marks. When they’re just thinking (to themselves, heh), the author uses single quotes. I’d never run across that before, since in most fiction I’ve read, private thoughts are in italics. It didn’t bug me. It was just... interesting.

    I did enjoy the author’s note at the end. It gave me some insight into what kind of person she is, and I think she and I have similar outlooks on life, and similar ways of working, so we’d probably get along well.
