Review: Jack Templar & The Lord of Werewolves

Tour Schedule

 

Fresh from confronting the Lord of the Vampires in the limestone catacombs beneath Paris, Jack Templar faces his toughest challenge yet as he searches for the next Jerusalem Stone, this one being held by the Lord of the Werewolves. 

But the narrow escape from the vampire lair came at a great cost and Eva battles for her survival. The only chance to help Eva is to continue their quest and find the Jerusalem Stones. Reuniting the Stones will not only stop Ren Lucre’s coming war against mankind, but also transform Eva back into her human self. 

From the ruins of ancient Delhi to the depths of the Black Forest in Germany, Jack and his friends face monsters, bewildering riddles and treachery from the most unlikely of places. Through it all, they are plagued by the Oracle’s prediction that at least one of their group will not make it through the adventure alive. Worse yet, they know that Kaeden, the Lord of the Werewolves, will do his best to make sure none of them do. 

But they are monster hunters of the Black Watch…and they will do their duty, come what may.

My Thoughts:

I have only one big problem with these books.   It's that I have to wait so long to read the next one!!  Each one of these books has been such an adventure that I read them in about a day.  This book follows in line with the others in the series with exceptional characters and scenery.  However, now we're really getting to see Jack grow up and realize there are consequences to all choices, good & bad.  While Jack's enemies think his loyalty and love for his friends are his weakness, I think we'll see that they are his greatest strengths. The descriptions of the monsters are fantastic. Another aspect of this series that I like is that the enemies Jack faces have complicated histories that led them to be what they are.  It makes the story much more interesting.   I highly recommend this series to ages 11 & up, girl or boy. You do need to read the other books before this one, but why wouldn't you?!  They're awesome!!

Here's something a little extra!!  I couldn't help myself.  I kept thinking what fantastic movies these books would make so here are my choices for characters.

Eva - Danielle Campbell

Daniel - Cody Christian

Ren Lucre - Sebastian Roche

Aquinas - Helen Mirren
