Anne Rice is one of my favorite authors and I’ve read all her books up until she decided to write Christian fiction then I moved away from her writings. Wolf Gift is her return to the Gothic world and she again writes about monsters that really aren’t portrayed as monsters. The metaphysical connotations really hooked me in and made me think as I was reading Profound thoughts about God, Hell, Love, and Spirit are dappled through the entire book. Her vivid descriptions may seem wordy to some but I really enjoy them as I become immersed within the story and find myself flowing seamlessly into Reuben’s world as I turn the pages. I would classify this as a dark Gothic tale that blends metaphysical world nicely to create a visionary tale of good and evil. There are some sensual scenes that touch a bit on the taboo side of things but I didn’t mind them at all. In fact, it just flows nicely with the story. There is romance, intrigue, mystery and philosophy seamlessly intertwined within the pages which makes it my kind of book. I would recommend this to any Anne Rice fans as well as fans of gothic novels. There are metaphysical ideas that are found within the pages that should whet any spiritual seeker’s appetite. It’s a definite read for werewolf lovers that show a different take on the werewolf legend.

This is Anne Rice. Different than her vampire series. Delves on human side more than wolf. Enjoyed this book.
