Werewolves of Brooklyn

Brad Vance

Darien Mackey wasn’t looking for an adventure. For ten years, he’d been happy living in Brooklyn, working as a butcher in the same job, living in the same apartment, dating some “nothing-special” guys. Until one night his buddy Jacob talked him into taking ayahuasca, the soul-changing drug. And Darien had a vision…of a wolf, its all-too-human eyes on him, its paws on his chest, its enquiring mind in his own…

Darien Mackey is changing. He’s more confident, more assertive, hungrier, hornier. And his world is changing around him – his job, his home, his beloved Mechanic’s Library all falling victim to the predations of unscrupulous developers, bent on demolishing the old Brooklyn he loves and replacing it with a forest of condos. But he’s no longer a passive observer of his own life, and as this thing, this power, grows inside of him, he resolves to fight back, to preserve the way of life he loves.

And he’s not alone in the fight. The Lipsius Preservation Society of Brooklyn stands ready to assist in the battle, even though it seems like a bit of a joke to Darien, with its King and its Duke, Marquess, Earl and Viscount.

But there’s nothing funny about his growing attraction to Albeus Finley, King of this mysterious Court. And when slumlords and condo-mongers start to die mysterious, violent deaths at the hands of savage animals, Darien begins to realize that something is afoot in Brooklyn – something supernatural.

And it’s afoot in him, too…

Character Interview with Daniel

What do you consider your greatest achievement?

Learning to be a master butcher. I put in a long apprenticeship at Nowak’s Meats, and learned the Old World way – a knock upside the head when I did it wrong, and silence when I did it right. I learned that perfection wasn’t an exception to be applauded – it was the expectation, every day, every time.

If you could have any job or profession, what would it be?

The one I have now! Owning my own butcher shop is the greatest feeling in the world.

What is your biggest regret?

That I didn’t take ayahuasca earlier in my life, and discover my wolf nature earlier…but then again, maybe I wouldn’t have met Albeus, so I can’t complain!

What is your favorite food?

A very lightly seared filet mignon. Just enough to heat it through and seal in the juices.

Who is your hero?

My mentor, Mr. Nowak of Nowak’s Meats. He fled Communism, built a business, dealt with mobsters and condo-mongers and a crazy family. And taught me everything I know.

Excerpt

The wolf’s eyes were lava-yellow with hate. His growl and his snarl were meant to terrify Darien, to freeze him in his tracks, prepare him for his death.

Then something rose up in Darien, rage, frustration, primal energy. And his own lips curled, his own growl met the enemy’s.

The Duke retreated a pace, taken aback. Darien felt sharp pains in his palms and looked down. Where he’d had fingernails, he had claws, long and sharp, and the fists he was making were digging them into his flesh.

He smiled, exhilarated, wild. He lunged and snapped at his enemy, knowing that his canines had become…literally that, elongated spikes ready to tear out a neck.

Darien’s ears were ringing, something surging in him beyond mortal feeling – like testosterone but stronger, more powerful, the smell of victory, immortality.

“The King is mine,” Darien declared. “And I am his.”

He knew he’d taken a step from which there was no turning back. He was the King’s man, the King’s consort. He would open to Albeus and take him, and be taken by him, and he would be alone no more.

He was one of the pack.

And it curdled the blood of men for miles around when he raised his face to the full moon, and howled.

Review: What an interesting and unique book.  Brad Vance has taken the werewolf myth and given it an entirely new lease on life.  The whole creation and way of life of werewolves is something I have never seen before.  I really did enjoy the outlook Vance came up with.

Darian was a likeable and easily relatable character.  He is settled into his life.  He sees no real reason to change things.  He may want things life maybe a more permanent partner, but he does nothing to go about it.  He also does not like change in general.  Darian is the sort of man that was born in the wrong time.

Albeus is also likable, but a bit more standoffish at the start.  He has lived a difficult and hard life.  But the attraction between Darian and Albeus is there from the start.  The only issue they really have is that they are both tops.

The descriptiveness and detail given to the surroundings and history are lovely and  very well done.  The book moved at a fast pace.  I kept reading just to find out what happened next.  The romance, the violence, the sex, simply everything was just well written and pulled me into the story.

The ending left me wanting more and I really hope there will be more to this world Brad Vance has created.  There are some strings that seemed left wide open to me for another book.

What a great and very enjoyable read.
