Lieutenant Allison Goodnight is a cop with a difference - she is capable of changing into a wolf. She is newly partnered with Zane Kerr and the two are thrown into a savage murder investigation. Goodnight quickly comes to realise that someone very like her is responsible for the crimes. Can they be tracked down without awakening Kerr's suspicions and endangering all of her kind?

Werewolf cop novels clearly require the suspension of disbelief but if you are capable of doing so, 'Wilding Nights' is an enjoyable read. Killough mixes fantasy with police procedures and the two tie together well, creating a fast-paced novel that occasionally reminded of Anne Rice's Mayfair Witches series, in terms of mythology.

All of the characters are developed throughout the novel, even those that are on the fringes of the action. The secrecy regarding the identity of the killer is maintained throughout and I only realised what was going on a short time before the cops themselves, which culminated in an impressive denouement with all the loose ends neatly tied together.

Killough's dialogue feels authentic and he brings the town alive, creating a sense of a busy city in which the mysterious killer can easily fade into the background. Overall, this novel is fast and exciting, meaning it will appeal to fans of thrillers all over. If you like werewolves, your enjoyment is going to be doubled as the werewolf as a concept is as much a character as

the werewolf cops involved.
