IL LUPO:
A gripping supernatural thriller with
deep messages!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15

Wow, I wasn't expecting all the things
this novel throws at you and I loved it!
Supernatural thriller is not a genre I
usually read but I'm glad I took the plunge with this as I thoroughly enjoyed
all the vicissitudes of the protagonists and the various backgrounds between
the UK and Italy.
We follow the story of Charlie and
Nicholas (Nick), two friends that after losing touch for some years, get the
chance to reconnect after the death of Nick's father. As Charlie is clearly
struggling with anxiety whilst Nick wants to grief his dad properly, they
launch into a journey to the Amalfi Coast where Nick's family owns a home where
many holidays where spent during his childhood.
But during this journey is where the
more serious problems begin and not only Charlie starts experiencing severe
panick attacks but they both get involved in a series of accidents that will
end up changing their lives forever!
Full of folklore and vivid descriptions
of the places the characters end up, such as Pompeii and the Scottish
Highlands, this was such a page turner and the story took always an unexpected
turn whenever I felt confident of its direction.
I loved all the characters, and I felt
sympathy even for the antagonist! The writer's ability to create such deep
characters is what impressed me, together with the great description of the
places and their atmosphere that it was like being there! As well as the
writing flow, resembling a play with the action unfolding in front of my eyes
as I was reading.
Thanks to the author for the
opportunity to read it and this is my honest review.
What I enjoyed is also the deeper
messages of this novel which explored mental health, grief and life's changes
and the importance of addressing them and taking care of oneself, highlighting
that anyone can be affected and money don't make you immune, but friendship can
help, which really transpired through Charlie and Nick.
KILL AND CURE: IL LUPO 2.0
An edge of the seat ride
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7

I read Il Lupo 2.0 with the idea that
it would be like the first. I was looking forward to returning to the big
sweeping storyline of the last book, a rolling literary piece. This was not the
case at all. Il Lupo 2.0 was vastly different in so many ways. This, I have to
add, was not a bad thing. This was great. I was constantly engaged constantly
on the edge of my seat, trying to work out what was going to happen and did not
guess all. The Author was now working with established characters and their
relationships, and they worked through a new set of problems raised by the
Werewolf curse. If you work out the twists, you are a better person than I.
Especially the big one that got me totally.
This Author has written two great books
with differing writing styles. What is so impressive is that he has done so, so
very well. He realised that the two books needed these differing styles, and
both worked so well.
