Description
At sixteen years
old, Lori Foster has seen a lifetime of pain and suffering. Four years earlier,
she watched as her best friends were savagely mauled to death by a rogue wolf,
then barely escaped with her own life. The scar on her neck is a constant reminder
of just how lucky she was that stormy day in Wampus Springs.
Four years and
hundreds of miles from the attack, Lori still searches every shadow for the
return of her tormentor. She finds ordinary life to be a struggle, but when she
meets Josh Hughes, things appear to get on track. With her best friend Jessica
Tanner and her new love in her life, Lori lets her guard down, but it may be
premature. When her menstruation begins, her nights are ravaged with nightmares
of the attack. The nightmares seem to be more than a coincidence, they seem to
hint at an inevitable confrontation between Lori and the wolf that mauled her
four years earlier.

Loved this book! I
read it from cover to cover and loved every moment.
The characters were
perfect. Lori and Jessica make a great team. Lori is your typical outcast
thanks to the mark of the wolf on her neck. She doesn't feel like she fits in
until she meets Josh and feels the first tingles of love. Lori knows deep down
inside what is going on, but refuses to acknowledge it. The clues grow stronger
as the story unfolds until Lori finally gives in and accepts what she knows is
true.
The action keeps
going and going right to the final battle between Lori and the wolf, but it is
not just an ordinary wolf.
The story places a
new twist on the classic Werewolf book, pitting good against evil and kept me
cheering for Lori to be the victor in the end. This book ends perfectly,
setting up a second novel with a great cast of characters.
About the Author
The author states,
"I live in Ingersoll, Ontario and enjoy writing my novels with a link to
my area. Wampus Springs is my debut novel and is set in the fictional town of
Ridgeway, Ontario. Ridgeway is a combination of all my favorite places I grew
up in. It's a collage of Ridgetown, Rondeau park and every other water front
paradise Southern Ontario has to offer."
The author's second novel, Taken: Before Her Very Eyes, was released in October 2012. He has also written Pat's Wish, a children's book illustrated by his wife, Alison Faubert.
