A laugh out loud funny read, “Thinning the Herd
He is no Dirk Pitt but imagine himself to be one, Hal is one of a kind hero that quite frankly, I will not be surprised if the book turns into a series.
The book is classified under Mystery & Thrillers and Sci Fi & Fantasy, which are both correct. But, I would like to add that it should also be included as a comedy (though it is dark at times) because most of the times, I had to stop reading because I was laughing so hard; there were tears in my eyes.
“Thinning the Herd
From the New York Times bestselling author of A Rush of Wings and The Maker’s Song series, a humorous, action-packed urban fantasy about a werewolf pack and an animal control officer in way over his head!
Someone is picking off fortune tellers and hippies in Oregon, snatching them out of their Birkenstocks mid-stride. And when the legend himself, Hal Rupert, Animal Control Officer, gets a whiff of the mystery, he knows he’s the man to solve it. In between proudly wrangling out-of-control cats and dogs, he’s noticed a peculiar uptick in another sort of animal…werewolves.
Hal infiltrates the country fair to investigate the disappearance of the flower children. But his real priority is protecting the love of his life, Desdemona Cohen, whose long purple tresses and black-glossed lips captured his heart the moment he first saw her standing behind the register at Hot Topic.
Desdemona may have nicknamed Hal “Creep,” but he’s determined to win her heart. And, you know, save everyone else, too.
