Description
A young couple in love found their dream house on the Alabama River at a price that was perhaps too good to be true. Song of the Red Wolf is a spine-tingling paranormal thriller, enhanced by the knowledge that the Franks’ haunted house was reported to have been repeatedly visited by a Native American chief with an agenda of bloody revenge against anybody not of American Indian descent.
“Darkly sinister; an evil spirit and a deadly family secret could end their lives.”
A GHOST STORY
BASED ON TRUE EVENTS
"Darkly sinister, an evil spirit and a deadly family secret could end their lives."
How does it feel to get everything you've ever wanted? Perfect bliss. This is the life Billy and Wizzie Frank have worked hard for, a life they've both sacrificed for. The perfect marriage and the perfect house with a view, right on the Alabama River, at just the right price. Did they find their dream home by chance or by fate, or was it something more sinister?
Instead of the peaceful life, they find themselves enduring violent hauntings and encounters night after night, when the ghost of a Native American chief swears revenge on them all. They must fight for their lives and the lives of their loved ones, with the help of their neighbor kid, a Native American college professor and two unexpected heroes: the ghost of an Indian brave and his trusty companion, Tala. But is their help enough? Billy and Wizzie's new beginnings could just be their end.

Oh my god, this was fantastic. Couldn't put it down now I'm looking for the next book in the series to see what else is happening with wizzie and billy. Well done..
Diane R, Reviewer
Great book. I couldn't put it down. Loved the characters. It has great twists and turns. Readers will be drawn into the story from the first page.

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I have to say I really liked this book. Toni House is an amazing writer able to evoke strong emotions out of you. There were plenty of times while I was reading this book that I would be feeling my hairs standing on end, especially when it pertained to the room Wizzie and Billy had converted into their office. Toni was exceptional at blending the past and the present together to make this hair raising story of the ghost of an old Indian Chief with a strong dislike for those of foreign origin.
This book is filled with amazing characters, very rich in detail, and fascinating story telling. I have to say I am glad this was a book, because Chief Running Bear was especially petrifying! I loved the characters Wizzie, Billy, and their young neighbor Booger and how they came together to find a solution to this unbelievable phenomenon with the help of the ghost of an Indian Brave and his Wolf Tala. I really enjoyed the first book in the Tala Chronicles and look forward to reading more about Tala and Red Wolf in future books.

Song of The Red Wolf, Book 1 by Toni House is a sci-fi and fantasy and teens ya read.

This was a very good read.
Wow. Absolutely fantastic read. With brilliant characters. I loved reading about the Indians and what they believe in. They really know how to curse people. Can't wait to read more. highly recommended. 5*. Thanks to netgalley for the arc.
