"Wolf At The Door" takes you to the Others world
Werekin, shapeshifters, vampires, witches, demons, oh my -- you'll find them all in Christine Warren’s "Wolf At The Door" ($6.99, St. Martin's Paperbacks).
They've been living among us before man first stepped out of the caves, but once humans proved to be such a prolific race, the Others decided it was wiser to blend in and pass for humans. That's all about to change.
Here's the deal: The European Council of these mystical creatures have decided it's time for the great Unveiling. You know, time to let humans know that they exist and aren't just a figment of fairytales or horror stories. The reason they've come to this conclusion is that they've learned that the Light of Truth, a fanatical religious sect whose mission is to out the Others so that humanity can exterminate them, are going to move against them soon.
Werewolf Sullivan Quinn and Others of like-mind worked to convinced the the European Council that the only way to counter the Light of Truth is to beat them to the punch and out themselves. Quinn and his delegation are in New York to convince the American Council that by outing themselves, they'll take away the Light's greatest weapon. Cause sure as shooting the Lighters would present the Others as monsters who must be destroyed.
Of course the American Council isn't too thrilled with the idea, so they decide to ask Foxwoman Cassidy Poe, a cultural anthropologist, for help. They want her to ascertain just how much of a threat the sect is. Cassidy already thinks the Unveiling is a very bad idea since humans do have a tendency to destroy what they fear, but she'll do what the council asks.
However, if the Others can't stop the chain of events that the Lighters have set in motion, there won't be a choice to make.
"Wolf AT The Door" is a fun read and I can't wait to read more about the Others.
