Suspecting Prowler activity, they decide to go to Buckton to stop them. Meanwhile, Jack's sister, Courtney, stays behind to manage the pub but there are Prowlers left over from Tanzer's pack that are out for revenge. But Courtney has a Prowler protector of her own. When they arrive at Buckton, Jack's murdered friend's ghost meets
them there and confirms that it is Prowlers. Buckton is a sanctuary
for them but something has gone wrong and they have broken their
own law by killing in the town. A journal of their history and culture
has been stolen and they are killing anyone who may have it. Jack and Molly realise that Prowlers have been in this town for
generations and have managed to keep a low profile until now. In
an attempt to find their lair, Jack and Molly are accused of the
murders and put in jail but when the deputy is brutally slain they
are released. At first they suspect the sheriff of being the Alpha leader but
after a confrontation at the police station with the real Alpha
they soon realise their mistake. A battle for their lives ensues
as every Prowler in town bands together to kill them. This is the second book of Golden's 'Prowlers' series. I'm not
sure how many there are going to be but this one is written with
the same easy style as the first. Basically picking up from where
he left off in the first book. The ghosts are in this one as well
but not so much. A couple of funny moments where Artie, Jack's dead
friend, suddenly appears giving our hero the fright of his life! The one thing that doesn't sit well with me is that Jack and Molly are nineteen and eighteen respectively. Either Golden doesn't know young people very well or he should have made his characters older because they just don't read like teenagers! Apart from that little gripe, it's another enjoyable book. Wonder if he'll go on as long as the Anita Blake books! Jacqueline Kirk
