A review by ruthsomerset
The Wolf Road by Beth Lewis
5.0
When I first received this book (I won it through a goodreads giveaway) I wasn't sure if it was my sort of book. On my proof copy, the cover ‘blurb’ was minimal without any real clues as to when or where the story was set, but as soon as I started reading, I was utterly transfixed .
The clues dotted throughout the story keeps you guessing as to where you are in time and place, and I really couldn't put the book down – it was a “just one more chapter” type of book!
Elka is a strong female lead, in fact it is full of strong female characters which is refreshing in this genre.
I would describe this book as a cross between Mad Max and an old western – it would make a fabulous movie, it has everything: action, drama, pathos and even a touch of humour. But most of all it has an incredible energy that just pushes you along to the end.
I can’t wait to read whatever this author writes next, because this was a genuine 5 star read.
