Second book I've read from Thomas Emson, and interesting to re-read my review of the first, because there was definitely more evidence of an editor at work here! The overall writing seemed to have a lighter touch, too. As this is only his third book, it bodes well for future improvement...

This book blew me away!! This is hands down the best werewolf book I have ever read. I am a huge fan of An American Werewolf In London, Thomas Emson's PREY is better. If you love horror read this book...if you write horror, WATCH OUT for Thomas Emson!
