URBAN FANTASY REVIEW: Henry VIII: Wolfman - AE Moorat

Release Date: 08/07/10

BOOK BLURB:

HENRY VIII: WOLFMAN DIVORCED. BEHEADED. DIED. MAULED. SAVAGED. SURVIVED? Henry VIII was the best and bloodiest King ever to have sat on the throne of England. This fast-paced, exciting, gory, inventive and just plain gross retelling of his reign will bring to light the real man behind the myth. When it came to his size, Henry VIII was known for being larger-than-life, with a fearsome temper and bloodthirsty reputation to match; more beast than human, some might say...Be dragged kicking and screaming back 500 years into Tudor England...


REVIEW:

Urban fantasy is a genre that’s fast on the rise, but authors need something new, something innovative and of course something different to the many titles out there to make their work stand out. In this, the author’s second novel, they’ve gone back in time to Henry VIII and reinvented the six foot monarch as a werewolf. It’s quirky, its definitely entertaining and of course, the author plays with established history to make it fit to their novel. Overall its fast paced, has plenty of action and with a comic flair of a natural comedian all blend together to make this a real joy to read.
