Cry of the Wolf

by Amy Cross

Now that he's finally solved one of the biggest mysteries in Sobolton's history, John Tench is about to find out that his troubles are only just beginning. While Lisa Sondnes fights for her life in a hospital room, dark forces are starting to emerge from the forest with only one thing in mind.

Revenge.

Michael might be out of the picture for now, but his brother believes that their people have been too forgiving for too long. Convinced that the people of Sobolton have ignored the agreement that was struck many years earlier, the wolves are determined to avoid repeating the mistakes made by their father. And if that means drawing blood, then so be it.

John, however, has another problem brewing. Although he might not want to admit the truth, he sustained an injury out in the forest, and now that injury is starting to make itself felt. Can he fight to save himself, or is he about to discover the horrifying truth that led – many years earlier – to the town's foundation?

Cry of the Wolf is the seventh book in the Horrors of Sobolton series, which tells the story of one small town's struggle to deal with the paranormal monstrosities on its doorstep. Each book tells a standalone story, but there are cliffhangers and readers are recommended to go through the series in order.

Still as confusing as ever!

Here's me thinking that Book 6 was the penultimate story in this series. The author must be running out of ideas, I thought. Then Book 7 comes along and a solution to the mystery that is Sobolton appears as far away as ever. In this instalment we get some idea of how Sobolton was founded - or do we? As they used to say in the "Monty Python" sketches, "my brain hurts"! Just what's going on I have absolutely no idea but, I'm enjoying the ride.

Cliff hanger

I realize that Amy Cross was letting us know how Sobolton was started, but for 3/4 th of the story, it drug along. Then it took off like gangbusters. I can hardly wait to dig into the 8th book in the series.

Too much jumping around in time.

Great Read

Another great read. So now we now have some idea of how Solbolton was founded. So many twists and turns in this series

[AGilden · Rating 4 out of 5]

The end of this book is a huge cliff-hanger. One event takes the series in a very new direction, and the other creates good tension for book 7. On we go!

Cash grab book. It doesn’t move the story along at all. Drawn out back story of the town is just filler. Book 7 wasn’t luck at all. The writer ran out of gas and I guess needed cash.
