The Man Who Dealt in Death (The Colton Fen Series) by Marlena Frank – Review by Naomi McDonald
The Man Who Dealt in Death by Marlena Frank
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
To my current recollection, this is the first book I’ve read by this author, so I went in with no expectations. Let me just tell you, I was sucked in from the beginning.
I loved that the werewolves in the story are closer to the actual werewolf lore, not just shifters. It’s rare to come across a book that follows more traditional lore with all the shifter/fated mates type stories that are out there. (Don’t get me wrong, I love a good shifter story, too).
In contrast to the more traditional werewolf, the vampire in the story had different vibes than you would expect. It took me a minute to adjust to the character. But all the characters were so well-written that you can’t help but appreciate them.
There’s a splash of romance that I hope develops a specific way as the series continues because the set up at the end of this book is perfect for it to go that direction. Keeping my fingers crossed!
Great story – suspense, action, danger, drama… it’s got everything to keep you turning the pages.
