Reviews for C. Fern Cook's 'Wild Evolution'...

Lainey at Coffee Time Romance (www.coffeetimeromance.com) gives Wild Evolution 'four cups' and says, "This is not your normal werewolf tale; in fact it grips you from the first and keeps you going. Killer dog or werewolf, whatever it is it you will not be disappointed. Without giving away the ending or the whole story I am going to say that you will enjoy this novel tale. If you like werewolves you will find that Ms. Cook has a very unusual approach here and you will get quite an insight into the inner workings of the wolf pack including being the alpha male as well." See the full review at...
CTR Review for Wild Evolution

Also, Nicole at Bitten by Books (www.bittenbybooks.com) says, "Wild Evolution is a strangely compelling tale that I just had to finish."
