The furry PI is back and once again trouble follows! Adrenalin packed action, betrayal, laugh out loud snark, and a little romantic shenanigans all blend together in an addictive and highly entertaining read. Can't wait to see what he gets into next!

I have long been an admirer of the work of both Charlaine Harris and Jim Butcher, and this interest prompted me to request an ARC of "Johnny Lycan & the Vegas Berserker" from the publisher, Black Rose Writing. For those of you not familiar with Harris or Butcher their work is probably best known, in Harris' case for the Sookie Stackhouse series, and in Butcher's case, for the Dresden Files. The protagonist of Wayne Turmel's novel is, unsurprisingly, a werewolf, and this novel revolves around his adventures as he serves a prominent collector of arcane and magical artifacts. In the course of picking up one of these artifacts, he runs into a coven of colorful witches as well as another collector determined to thwart his acquisition of the magical piece in question; this competitor's most colorful "muscle" turns out to be a "Berserker", here explained to be a kind of supernatural shapeshifter closely related to a grizzly bear. It doesn't require much imagination to see where this kind of cast of characters is apt to take the narrative. While I do not see this particular work as rising to the level of either Harris or Butcher, there is no question that the author has talent and an entertaining command of popular culture. With time, he may rise to the level of the other authors I have cited.

Johnny deserves a space on the shelf alongside other urban fantasy characters like Harry Dresden.
Wayne delivers another stellar adventure with his best character yet. Johnny travels to...well, is forced to anyway, Las Vegas to recover another enigmatic artifact for his crotchety, deep-pocketed employer Cromwell, and it goes about as well as the last one. It's an exciting trip, and has all the flair a man like Johnny bring with him (he drives an orange charger, for crying out loud), and as much unwilling ignorance we've come to associate with Johnny. Seriously, dude's a werewolf and STILL doesn't believe in witches and other things of the occult? Speaking of which, if you're looking for your fill of the occult and urban fantasy, Wayne brings it all.
Fantastic addition to the Johnny-verse, and I can't wait to see more.

Johnny Lycan is back, baby. A second fun romp with Johnny and his alter ego-trouble causing werewolf, Shaggy. Turmel creates a super cast of characters in an intriguing plot full of action, thrills, a dash of magic and a lot of pain for poor Johnny. Highly recommend this series!

Johnny Lupul is a werewolf private investigator sent to Las Vegas to investigate a case and stumbles upon some witches, a psychic pawn broker, and an enemy with a mysterious secret. Johnny must resist changing into his werewolf form or reveal his secret. Johnny goes to Las Vegas to retrieve an item for his boss in Chicago that supposedly was fake but turns out to be the real thing. I really enjoyed reading this paranormal urban fantasy novel.

A rousing read
Ever the fan of morally ambiguous protagonists, Johnny fills the bill. And I’ve got a huge crush on Cree. I loved this book. On to the next Johnny adventure.

I'm entering this series at Book 2, but there's enough previously-on that I didn't feel disoriented, probably helped by the fact that it takes place in a different city from the previous book and with a number of new characters, the key secondary characters from Book 1 playing only minor roles.
From a storytelling point of view, it deserves its place on my Best of the Year list. It's an urban fantasy with a noir feel, and the lycanthrope of the title is a classic noir PI; kind of morally grimy but generally well-intentioned, with a tendency to get badly beaten up, and well aware that he's not the smartest person in the story. In fact, Johnny claims that his other superpower, apart from being a werewolf, is that everyone assumes he's smarter than he actually is. He also claims not to be a good man, and arguably he's right, but also arguably he's wrong. It kind of depends on how you look at it.
Sent on what appears to be a simple retrieval of an item from Las Vegas for his boss in Chicago, he discovers that what was supposed to be a fake may not be; that his boss's rival for the acquisition of the item is going to stop at nothing to have it; that someone on the seller's side is working their own game; and that things are generally complicated, with a tendency to cause issues for Johnny in particular.
It's a well-told story with well-drawn characters. There is a problem, however.
I've noticed that books I get via Netgalley from Black Rose Writing are often worse than average in terms of basic writing mechanics like punctuation and grammar; that doesn't seem to be something they screen for when deciding what books to publish, and it also doesn't seem to be something they work on before releasing the books through Netgalley for review. I don't know if they edit them between that point and publication, but I really hope they do, especially this one. I thought I'd seen pretty much every way you could mess up the punctuation of a sentence, but this book managed to show me a couple that were new to me, as well as some I'd only seen once or twice before, and a nearly complete collection of the common ones. It's also weak on tense, sometimes using present tense where it should be past, or simple past where it should be past perfect.
I don't usually tag the books I get from Netgalley as "needs-editing" on Goodreads, because I assume (perhaps optimistically) that there's at least another round of edits to come after I see them, but this one is so dire that even a very good editor will struggle to remove all the issues.
Having said that, based on storytelling alone, it does make the Bronze tier of my Best of the Year for 2022.

Wayne Turmel writes an incredible tale with Johnny Lycan & the Vegas Berserker
In Johnny Lycan & the Vegas Berserker, the reader once again is introduced to Johnny Lycan, a PI who is also a werewolf. Something that surprised him as much as the readers in the first book. But of course, his last name, Lycan means were world. Johnny Lycan & the Vegas Berserker is part of The Werewolf PI Series, and this is volume two. I have become a fan of Wayne Turmel and read whatever this author writes. This author has a grand imagination, and talent for showing the story. Johnny didn't used to believe in curses, monsters or anything supernatural, but when he turned, he found that it was something he needed to be kept under control. But he also had better insight into his cases. This is a very compelling and intriguing story. I did like the first one a bit better, but it was because it was part of his discovery of himself, and he was new to being a PI. Now, he has some cases under his belt, and he's on his way to Vegas! After reading his work, I have become a fan, and then really enjoy reading about Johnny Lycan. I love the personality of Johnny, he's not only intelligent, and has a grand humor, sometimes kind of snarky and other times, it's just to deal with what he has to deal with. Magic, Mayhem, and mystery are all part of Johnny's life now. Johnny is determined and tenacious, and determined to get the job done no matter what, learning to know stand in his way. A definite attention grabber, so much I couldn't put it down. It's a great story to follow and try to figure out what will happen next. Johnny Lycan & the Vegas Berserker is a definite recommendation by Amy's Bookshelf Reviews. I read this book to give my unbiased and honest review. Amy's Bookshelf Reviews recommends that anyone who reads this book also write a review.

Shapeshifters, Witches, and Things that go “Ouch” in the Night
Sam Spade may have had his troubles running down The Maltese Falcon, but they pale in comparison to werewolf Johnny Lycan’s quest to recapture the Paiute Sky-Egg from a collector with dubious scruples. In Johnny Lycan and the Las Vegas Berserker, Turmel’s second installment of the series, Noir takes a not-so-giant leap into urban fantasy. After all, it’s Vegas. Nothing is real. Or is it?
Johnny – newbie P.I. and occasional werewolf – earns his street creds as he finds himself plunged into a barfight in Amarillo, the prelude to a full-out brawl in Las Vegas with a determined berserker managed by a ruthless patron of the arts. His assignment is complicated by a corporate shakeup of a coven of Vegas witches trying to pay the bills with a magick act, and a definite attraction to a hedge witch with a degree in chemical engineering who may hold the key to either getting him out of this mess or getting him killed.
Suspension of disbelief is the goal of every writer of urban fantasy and alternate reality fiction, and Turmel has mastered the technique. He writes with a practiced ease and draws the reader into his web of intrigue while the sardonic comments and wisecracks move the plot along at a rollicking pace. This book is fun. You won’t be disappointed.
Highly recommended.

Johnny Lupul is a licensed privet investigator who is big and hairy, even when he is not a werewolf. Johnny’s affluent client, Mr. Cromwell, has a simple job for him. Travel to Las Vegas and pick up an artifact that Cromwell has purchased. But when Sin City is involved, nothing is simple. While securing the mystical relic from a coven of witches operating a magic show, Johnny comes face to face with a real-life Viking Berserker. Or maybe a better description in Johnny’s case, fur to fang. As I said, nothing comes easy in Las Vegas.
Johnny Lycan & the Vegas Berserker is the second book in Wayne Turmel’s Johnny Lycan series. Even though there are numerous urban werewolf fantasies, Turmel is able to distinguish his book from many others. Writing in the first-person noir style gives Turmel’s characters the dark and gritty persona they deserve. The dialog, at times, can be cliché but is never dull or pedestrian. With all the action a battle with a werewolf can deliver, this action-packed thriller is a hard book to put down. Any fan of paranormal PI dramas would be captivated by Johnny Lycan & the Vegas Berserker.

This review was first published on Kurt's Frontier.
Synopsis:
Johnny Lupal has a job to do in Sin City. Mr. Cromwell has purchased a “fake” artifact: the Paiute Sky Egg, and Old Man Cromwell tasks Johnny with picking it up. However, Johnny made the mistake of asking, “What could go wrong?” Now, he must deal with a coven of unconventional witches, a psychic pawnbroker, and a mysterious competitor who has an employee with a darker, more violent secret than his own.
Review:
I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart for werewolves. Wayne Turmel took a classic private investigator (also fun) and made him get fuzzy when the moon got full. When his boss, Mr. Cromwell, sends him to Los Vegas, it is for simple retrieval of a fake artifact. However, the bidding war for the Paiute Sky Egg was with an old competitor who plays for keeps. He also employs a berserker werebear, who has taken a dislike to Johnny.
Johnny Lycan & The Anubis Disk introduces Johnny Lupal, PI, and his alter-ego, Shaggy. With Johnny Lycan & the Vegas Berserker, Johnny’s plans still have a habit of going sideways, especially when he says, “What could go wrong?” You would think he would have learned by now. It is the same tongue-in-cheek style of storytelling that endeared me to the first book.

Once again, Wayne Turmel weaves a rollicking tale of arcana, shapeshifters, greed, sex and plans gone sideways. Our hapless hero Johnny Lupul drives his trusty Charger to Sin City to recover a magical object that might or might not be fake at the bidding of a cranky old bastard who is his only paying client. As wacko as that sounds, the author’s taut writing style keeps the Vegas Berserker just this side of the ragged edge of insanity.
I thoroughly enjoyed the first book in this series and the next edition did not disappoint. What was refreshing in this tale was an unexpected level of character development. Johnny finds out more about his parentage, reveals more of his traumatic past, and develops insight into the breadth and limits of his werewolf powers. Even though he spends most of the novel away from his homebase in Chicago, he deepens his understanding of his friends’ paranormal powers, and develops new relationships that I hope he will explore in his next adventures. Which I await eagerly.

The first book in this series was a real surprise treat for me, and I'm pleased to report that the Vegas Beserker is just as much of a furry, funny, rollicking good ride for the werewolf PI.
Author Wayne Turmel took a risk for this sequel by moving our roguish hero Johnny out of Chicago and away from the makeshift family that readers came to love in the first book. The change of location and new cast of characters keeps things fresh, however. As with the first book, there's just the right balance of snappy dialogue, supernatural intrigue, action set-pieces, witty asides and character moments to keep things moving along at a fair old pace, and by the time the story's wrapped up you're already wondering what Johnny's next adventure will bring.
If you were a fan of the first book, this is a must-read. Phillip Marlowe with fur and fantasy and a wry modern eye? More please.

First things first. I am not a fan of books about werewolf and other fantasy beasties. But when Wayne Turmel writes a book, I know I am in for a treat so I have no option other than to read it. And when I say read, i mean getting absorbed in it and that is why i like to read. To get away from reality and travel to other places and meet new friends.
I liked the first Johnny Lycan very much and this one is even beter. Love the new setting and the new characters.
My favourite character is Bill. He sounds so sexy. Hell, he can visit my town any day.
A page turner as always and the building up and release of tensions is so natural and real. Things get really messy this time and it is glorious. Wow.
Maybe I am becoming a fan of werewolf fiction after all.
Looking forward to the next one!

Johnny Lycan and the Vegas Berserker is a thrilling urban fantasy that combines action, supernatural thrills, and lots of humor. With witty writing, relatable characters, and a richly detailed mythology, this book had me hooked from start to finish.
I especially loved the introduction of new characters Cree and Lemuel - they added a fresh dynamic to the story! Can't wait to see what's next for Johnny when he returns to Chicago in the next book.

Compelling characters, fast-paced action, magic crystals and a berserker. It's Johnny Lupul in Vegas baby!
As always, Wayne Turmel has created a compulsively readable action packed story with a unique take on the werewolf mythos and were bears! What's not to love? An enjoyable read and I can't wait for the next instalment!
PS - i love the cover of this, so colourful, it really drew me in.

Another great book
I admit it: I love werewolf stories. Wayne Turmel has written two great stories about a werewolf. Both pulled me in, hook, line and sinker. Now, I want a third! Johnny is so delightfully human/not human as he tackles paranormal adventures. I can’t wait to see what he does next!

This is a new to me author, and I will definitely be seeking out more of his stories. This was a fast paced, edge of your seat, can’t read fast enough story with lots of action and suspense. I can’t wait to see what happens next.
I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley. This is my honest and voluntary review.

Sharply funny & deftly observed (Vegas Issues—IYKYK), this is a super fun ride of a noir / urban fantasy—and I say that as a person whose skin crawls from just saying “urban fantasy.” A perfect read to brighten up this dark winter nights.
November 1, 2022
Get a flashlight, because you’ll be reading The Vegas Berserker well into the night. Johnny’s world is full of mischief, mayhem, and magic—excuse me, magick—and I can’t wait to read more.
