Interesting premise. It sounds like there's a lot packed into this one. It seems like Grant likes to put himself in a lot of precarious situations, so I'm interested to see the development of his character. Though I don't read a lot of mysteries, I love a good adventure novel. I think I'll try this one out, thanks for the review!

I must say that this is a great review. I like the characters portrayed in the book and the fact that Grant has a special connection with wolves. I like the idea of wolves and imagine them to be my spirit animal. I also liked the caution you gave at the end about sexual content and alcohol use. I am intrigued enough to want to read the book. Kudos.

The beginning parts of the book seemed to be adventure-packed especially that it contained maps. The author could be very effective that the occurrences in the story had affected you in real life. Good review!

I read the sample and wanted more. But I saw the excessive drinking already. I can't wait to find out if Randall is still alive.

Fictional Adventure novels are excellent reads, especially if they have lead maps on the first pages. I've sampled this book and liked it. Nice review
Insofar as the word 'should' even has meaning, then we must say that the past is exactly as it should be, everything that happened should have happened, and everything that should happen will happen

This sounds like a fast-paced read, although it seems like the sexual encounters were just written for the sake of including such encounters, which is quite a turn-off. Thanks for the review.
