Review copy provided in exchange for an honest review.
Blood and Rain is an action packed, suspenseful, and mysterious fast paced read. Glenn Rolfe gives us some horrifying scenes which I knew from reading him before would feel real enough to make me read this book in the light of day . This is my first werewolf book and and it’s a heck of a great one. Blood and Rain is set in a small town in Maine and as with any small town they have their stories, and for Gilson Creek their story is the ‘Full Moon Monster’. Mysterious sightings and memories from the attack of 3 kids from Paulson Park 20 years ago have come back to haunt our small town sheriff Joe Fischer. After a brutal attack on the driver of a broken down car along the side and the attack of a teenage kid working on his car in his garage the towns suspicions are back along with a renewed interest in the possibility of the ‘Full Moon Monster’. News travels fast and in the big city monster hunters from the ‘crypto insider‘ magazine once again try to capitalize on this small town mystery. It’s bad news for one of the reporters of the ‘crypto insider‘ leading to more trouble for the residences of Gilson Creek.
Glenn Rolfe builds a great mystery of the ‘Full Moon Monster’ and the back story along with placing the story in a small town in Maine, which could be any small town give it an added dimension of horror. Sheriff Fischer thinks putting a curfew on the town will prevent further trouble but sometimes you can’t stop the horror that wants to be seen and felt. The tension is very real in Blood and Rain and with the werewolf out and about stalking his pry and we’re only left with a slim hope they can survive. With multiple sightings of the ‘Full Moon Monster’ Joe and his deputies start to wonder how many monsters are among them. As the story nears its end with havoc raining down at every turn Joe and his few deputies must take to final stand against the werewolf to protect the town and his daughter. The story moves at a furious pace right to the end and has you on edge wondering if anyone will survive the night and if they can finally rid the town once and for all.
