| Skyla Dawn Cameron | |||||||||
| A new writer in the sense she’s just had her first book published. I feel hers is name to make note of she’s an original thinker who creates strong characters each with their own voice. Skyla has completed a free on-line story called Catharsis and is now working on a new story Children of the Apocalypse which updates monthly at her site. | |||||||||

| I highly recommend this book. Skyla Dawn Cameron has thought of a unique twist to the werewolf novel and developed it into a refreshing read which I think will appeal to a range of ages. A first novel this book puts to shame many offerings by established authors.
The lead teenage character River is a werewolf; a wolf that has been bitten by a human that is! The premise alone made me curious to read more and I wasn’t disappointed. River is a strong female lead; brusque and yet endearing she has a way of looking at things that will make you re-evaluate your surrounds. Secondary characters are equally well drawn and individual. As well as watching how River develops you get to see how her presence effects and changes the people around her. Rather than being added as a gimmick the wolf angle is well written. You get a sense of the wolves and feel the author has spent time researching them. |
