"some mysteries are simply irresistible"
The time is the present.
The place, the rugged coast of northern California. A bluff high above the Pacific. A grand mansion full of beauty and tantalizing history set against a towering redwood forest.
A young reporter on assignment from the San Francisco Observer. . . an older woman, welcoming him into her magnificent, historic family home that he has been sent to write about and that she must sell with some urgency . . . A chance encounter between two unlikely people . . . an idyllic night—shattered by horrific unimaginable violence. . .The young man inexplicably attacked—bitten—by a beast he cannot see in the rural darkness . . . A violent episode that sets in motion a terrifying yet seductive transformation as the young man, caught between ecstasy and horror, between embracing who he is evolving into and fearing who—what—he will become, soon experiences the thrill of the wolf gift.

from
in honor of the book i decided to have a London Fog on this crisp fall columbus day and celebrate my day off...
you know, i enjoyed this book for lots of reasons...
i loved the descriptions of food and scenery and the rain...
oh, how i loved the rain...
the setting was really beautiful off the coast of san francisco and on the cliffs of northern california...
reminds of all the things i love about that area...
ie. pebble beach
the book itself was good but not great...
i did like it though...
