The Hunter from the Woods by Robert R. McCammon
2.0
A werewolf-themed bodice-ripper, except targeted toward men. Not that it's terrible, but it is representative of the genre. Skilled and debonair gentleman is successful in his missions against all odds; is betrayed by woman1, helps woman2, falls in love with woman3 but has to kill her for duty, falls into funk, snaps out of it to save world, lives reclusively until something happens to extend the conceit to more books.
Opening chapter has the detached narrative style of a nature documentary or a Just So story. It is not like that all the way through; thankfully it is used in moderation.
The book can be gripping at points. While the overall plot arc is fairly standard, it is not predictable from paragraph to paragraph.
If someone was looking for 2 out of 3 from erotic, nazi-fighting, werewolves, I could recommend this book, but I don’t see myself reading it again.
ALSO:
Gentlemen, if your lady friend's business feels like a jar of warm honey, urge her to see a doctor.
