From the author of Mountain Man: Encounter a new breed of fear in the first book of a bloodcurdling werewolf horror series set in the snows of Newfoundland.
In a nearly deserted village off the coast of Canada, strange things are happening. A local hunter discovers bare footprints in the snow. The stray dog population has ceased to exist. And people are beginning to ask questions about the town’s recluse.

Story
From the Audie-nominated narrator of The Martian. In eleven years' time, a million members of an alien race will arrive at Earth. Years before they enter orbit, their approach will be announced by the flare of a thousand flames in the sky, their ships' huge engines burning hard to slow them from the vast speeds needed to cross interstellar space. These foreboding lights will shine in our night sky like new stars, getting ever brighter until they outshine even the sun, casting ominous shadows and banishing the night until they suddenly blink out.

OMG!!! SERIOUSLY?
WOW! A genre I never thought I'd go near. Excellent and gripping.
After The Mountain Man series and now this, I'm hooked on Keith C Blackmore. Book 2 downloaded and third book purchased already.
Love that it takes place in Canada and has lots of Canadian terms and slang.
Narrator a bit slow but speeding up the playback a bit solved that.

Comedic, Clever, and Undeniably Fun
The werewolf premise is indisputably silly. Legends of people transforming into another horrifically violent predator species are doubtless rooted in the all-too-real existence of genuine psychopathic evil in outwardly normal neighbors in our midst ["Monsters" (like serial killers) are REAL, people].
But Keith C. Blackmore couldn't care less about Sociology...
He presents a world where werewolves - the mythical lycanthropes - live in hiding in our modern society. His interpretation of the proposition is regulated by 'Elders' and policed by 'Wardens' (from a country-wide pack) that keep their predator-prey relationships in line, isolate werewolves that cross lines, and keep their existence secret. He strives to make the idea plausible and largely succeeds (although you still have to set aside logic to buy it). At the same time, Blackmore's dialogue and descriptions are laugh-out-loud funny.
In fact, I will give a warning: THIS BOOK IS - MODERATELY - PARODY (like 'Return of the Living Dead' parody).
Blackmore clearly knows it's a ridiculous idea.. but revels in it. I mean, the man populates the *Maritimes* with ornery codgers and monsters. He elaborates his story with colloquiallisms and expressions so quintessentially Canadian that the reader can't help but note that a plot so laughably fictional feels almost next-door plausible. It's brilliant. To his credit, Blackmore's action sequences are full of tension, his descriptions are gut-wrenching gory (the dismembering of a corpse with a chainsaw is sphincter-tightening), he uses expletives gloriously, and his characters are relatable (albeit clichéd and sketched out). The writing is necessarily immature, but *intentionally* exudes adrenaline-fuelled absurdity. This story is stupid.. knowingly stupid.. but roller-coaster ride fun.
Sean Runnette is a great reader in this one. His Newfie accents are spot-on, pacing is flawless, and he captures the tongue-in-cheek approach perfectly. I would consider listening to audiobooks performed by Runnette just to hear his interpretation.
It's simply too ludicrous for me to continue the series, but you could easily see it differently. If you can stow your reservations and are okay with a light-hearted treatment, buy this cartoonish 3-star book and enjoy.
