This book was a blast!
To be honest I wasn't expecting that much, because let's face it,a lot of werewolf stories are cheesy. This one wasn't.
It had a unique plot that was mostly plausible, but what really pulled me in were the excellent characters, the fast pace and the humor. I came to care a lot about the characters, one of which was a sociopath, so that's saying a lot. The humor was honest and laugh out loud funny at times. I read in the author's bio that he writes for Robot Chicken. I can...more

Well, let count the ways..First, there's the ever-so-clever dodge of having your female protag being the sexist one, as if the author is let off the hook for creating the character and giving her that personality. And, boy oh boy, IS she sexist! The author's comments elsewhere make it very clear that he thinks it's absolutely bullet-proof, this clever tactic of having his female characters being the sexist ones.

An even worse sleight-of-hand is where a very particular group of fourteen-year-old girls are targeted for Tildasvow's contempt, because that is totally not sexist, you know. The glaring fact that such a girl, when "middle-aged men" come into the equation, is by definition simply a rape victim is not just ignored, it is positively tossed to the floor and jumped upon. Not just that, but Tildascow felt really "empowered" when men leer at her, and if said barely-teenaged girls don't want to get called "whores", then they shouldn't dress that way. Middle-aged men, this "heroine" muses, really get the bad end of ......a society that they pretty much have a stranglehold on. They suffer, it seems, because they cannot slutshame girls less than half their age. Oh, wait, sorry! Just pop stars, it seems, so that's totally not sexist. Fourteen-year-old pop stars totally deserve to be slutshamed by (astonishingly skeezy disgusting) "middle-aged men." Could such very young girls be themselves the victims by being exploited? (Call me crazy, but there is, to my mind, no such thing as a fourteen-year-old "whore", when such a girl is in fact, a rape victim.)

I really, really wanted to like this. I love werewolves-----but I absolutely despise so-called "urban fiction." Yeah, no. I want classic monsters to, in fact, be classic monsters----not potential dates. Who wants boyfriends whose PMS gives them fur----and claws? What if you had to worry about him using your razor? What if you didn't just have to worry about crabs---what about fleas? What if it wasn't just herpes that your boyfriend gave you? What about rabies? Hell, how about distemper---and mange?

So this book promised pure monsters. I was, well, over the moon. Then the tropes of other things started showing up. The heroine was Bruce Willis with tits. She was sexist, genetically-altered, and had a tragic background that existed just so she could be sexist. It wasn't an accident. Of the other named female characters, one is a dormat while also being suspivious of her hubby, one is also contemptuous of women, another is a powerful cipher, and everyone else is just a shadow.

The male protagonists fare better, in that the geeky kid has an actual personality and gets some good lines. The military language tries too hard. The villain is in Drago-drag. The Romanian guy.....takes a horse-and-carriage to work. There's constant attempts to build atmosphere by name-dropping stuff that should be scary, but there's no backup. Empty castles, actual werewolves, a missing baby.....it's all empty, in part because the protagonist is such a vacuum.

When the plot expands to make all of NYC itself vulnerable, it just falls apart, as the action sequences have almost no flow and the standard end-of-the-book crosscut scenes are too clunky. I was, frankly, just powering through it to end it at that point, wondering what had happened to all the characters who had been introduced earlier. One character------she of the smug opinions about her own special wonderfulness among all women, always a bad, bad sign-----gets a mention by the author and that's it. When last we saw her, she was in mortal terror.

The author gets mention, and deserves it, for the annoying switch to first-person individual narration whenever the United Nations comes up, which it does, one suspects, so he can rant about what a security risk it is. There are also jarring rants about liberals, all of this written in an individual's voice, including the reader in "we" and "us" when the narrator switches abruptly from omniscient to individual----and pissed off. That is deeply unprofessional-----and yanks you out of the book. The UN? The Rockefellers? Liberals? The deeply-misogynist characters and statements? Yeah, the sublety test there didn't just get failed, it got destroyed.

It doesn't matter whether all women consciously recognize the sexist tropes here, Those tropes----that little girls prey on much older men by using revealing attire, that sexism isn't sexist if it comes from a (male-created) female character's mouth, that it's somehow "empowering" to get leered at, that contempt for women is okay when a (male-created) female character feels it, and perhaps, most perniciously, that the protagonist needed all those enhancements and background to be a protagonist, are deeply troubling.

Tens of thousands are infected. Time is running out.

I really never imagined I'd be writing this in a review: It's the werewolf apocalypse! This story is a very unique thriller that returns the werewolf firmly to the role of monster. For me, this was a welcome change from the recent trend in popular fiction where the werewolf is cast as more of a tortured romantic hero, doomed or otherwise. I also enjoyed the shake up from the hordes of undead leading us to our peril thing - although humanity meeting its end at the shredding hands (claws) of a hairy wolf-like human might not be much of a step up.

From start to finish, the werewolf infection in this story is terrifying. The creatures are nothing but driven killers, cannibals really, controlled by a single leader. They live to eat, kill and spread the infection. To become a werewolf is a fate worse than death.

And of course, that is the fate facing New York city.

As the potential doom of mankind - the werewolf plague - descends on the city; it soon becomes clear that options are limited.The madman behind the plague is demanding a cure from the U.S. government. But is a cure even possible? Will the government attempt to find a cure or will it take far more drastic measures? The author does a remarkable job of creating suspense throughout the novel, particularly at the end. There are a number of possible outcomes for the reader to guess at that pop up along the way.

For many thriller fans, this will be a great read. There are plenty of heart racing action sequences to keep the reader glued to the pages. There is a variety of character types - from a geeky young werewolf expert to an atypical FBI anti-terrorism specialist that is something of a science experiment herself. The novel even takes on different sub genres: at times it can be anything from medical to political thriller, science fiction and horror suspense to historical fiction.

I think this thriller will be a five star book for many action horror fans. For me however, there were some very significant things holding me back. I did find myself having to go over a couple of passages to re-read some of the action, and I did get a little lost in the middle. It could just be me and other readers might not experience this. My other, more subjective stumbling block was the writing style. Course language can be used effectively and in the case of this novel it's used well with humor. But for me, less is often more and it did take away from my overall enjoyment of the book. Although, I think it would work well as a movie.

It's always smarter than it needs to be, with characters who are brilliant twists on the expected cliches of the thriller genre...and that's before thousands of werewolves take over New York City.

Everyone knows the werewolf legend, where a bite from one infected with the curse will turn you into a werewolf. This story is often played out on empty moors with lots of smoke machines working overtime...but what would happen if someone with the infection was let loose in New York City? One infection turns into a dozen, then a hundred...then THOUSANDS. Seemingly overnight. And these aren't adorable werewolves who just want to take their shirts off and protect Kristen Stewart. These are mother-effin' terrifying werewolves that will rip your head off at the first chance.

But that's just the beginning. Writer Hugh Sterbakov presents us with a villain for the ages. He doesn't want to spread the disease like a Bond villain would, you see. He has unleashed it and then contacted the American Government in order to make them find a cure. You read that right. Find a cure. And all of a sudden everything we think we know about this type of story has changed.

The book handles the situation about as realistically as one could expect, and it's awesome. Heroes come into focus, the first is a sexy FBI agent who couldn't be further removed from the expected CBS-prodedural personality. The second is a horror fan who just happens to be the world's expert in werewolves. A stretch? I dunno, if werewolves showed up in New York City today, I'm guessing the experts wouldn't be mad scientists or action heroes; it would be guy who still lives with his parents until he is 40 and owns two copies of the "'Star Wars' Christmas Special." And I write that last sentence with the most affection for that type of person possible.

But I'm only scratching the surface as to what surprises the book has to offer. I can't even give hints because it would ruin your enjoyment. But it's safe to say that, just when you think you've figured out everything there is to figure out, Sterbakov upends your expectations in the most creative, rewarding ways possible. The writing is gripping, distinctive and the short chapters make it impossible to put it down without reading just one more. I kept telling myself that and found myself up until four in the morning.

And did I mention that the book is scary as hell? With all the action and political intrigue, it's easy to forget just how suspenseful and horrifying "City Under the Moon" often is. There are distinctive scare sequences (a standout focusing on a lone young woman protecting her mother as the anarchy of NYC surrounds her) that will floor you with their ingenuity and originality. This is first and foremost a horror novel, and the author does not forget that.

This is the most enjoyable, rewarding read I've had all year. I give it an unqualified five-star rating...I can't think of anything to say that could deter you from buying and enjoying.mIt's not just for horror fans. If you like Brad Meltzer or Michael Crichton or James Patterson or Daniel Silva or Thomas Harris, you NEED to read this book. This is Sterbakov's first novel (a fact that shocked me when I read his bio), and I genuinely hope it will not be his last.(less)

I will admit I have grown somewhat weary of vampires, werewolves and zombies. They are just too many novels, movies and TV shows about these creatures, same as I am a bit tired of doctors, cops and lawyers when it comes to TV.

This said, I believe The Walking Dead is the best show on TV right now, and I love Dracula and the first three Anne Rice vampire books and the original version of The Wolfman. So, while I still think there’s a glut on these creatures I am open-minded.

The first two chapters started out decently, aside from referring to the protagonist by her odd last name (Tildascow seriously made me giggle every time I read it). It's well written and she seemed interesting. However, the carnage that occurred in the third chapter just totally turned me off. Maybe it's the pregnancy, maybe it's that I wasn't in the mood for a horror/slasher. Maybe I'll go back one day - but this wasn't my cup of tea.

Hugh Sterbakov creates a world in which werewolves have been returned to the predators of lore (instead of the cuddly, misunderstood puppies of modern-day paranormal romances), and are attacking parts of New York, lead by one person who wants the CDC and government to "find a cure."
