When middle-class Karyn
Beatty is attacked and raped in her Los Angeles home, she suffers a
miscarriage and a nervous breakdown. She and her husband, Roy, leave the
city and go to stay in the secluded Californian mountain village of
Drago whilst Karyn recuperates. Although the town offers Karyn a quiet
lifestyle and the locals are friendly, Karyn is disturbed when she
continues to hear a strange howling sound at night coming from the woods
outside their new home. This puts further strain on her marriage as Roy
believes she is becoming more and more unstable, but Karyn is adamant
that there is something in the woods. As tension between the couple
mounts, Roy begins an affair with one of the local women, a shopkeeper
named Marcia Lura. However, on his way home, Roy is attacked in the
woods by a large black wolf. From Goodreads
This book wasn't as scary as I had been led to believe. I did like it but there were only a few surprises in the book and I only found it scary just in the beginning and right at the end. I will not rush out to get the next 2 books in the series.
