Book Review - While the Wolves Cry - Kristin Johnson
While The Wolves CryBook Two of the Dragon’s Tear Chronicles
by David Conlin McLeod
Vampires will wreck your life, even though they may help you from time to time. This is because vampires are individuals, first and foremost. If you happen to be a vampire grandmother named Colette, you endure the worst kind of torment: not allowed to be fully evil or wholly good. If you are a Gypsy vampire duo named Moon and Tsigane, your love life gets ripped to shreds by an ancient quest for a mystical gem that everybody and their vampire brother want. If you’re an ancient power-hungry clan of vampires called the Dragul-Mirov, you’ve long since left behind decency and you wreak havoc on Europe, as well as mortal reality, trying to be master or mistress of the universe.
And if you’re two mortal teen girls, a mentally disabled thirteen-year-old ballerina girl named Amy and a lesbian gymnast and child abuse survivor named Robyne who are BFF, you conclude that all the grown-ups have gone insane -even the ones you love- and it’s up to you to put the world right again, much like Harry Potter and all child heroes.
David Conlin McLeod ups the stakes for his characters and develops them in unexpected directions in the second volume of his Dragon’s Tear Chronicles. Make no mistake, this is a book that makes you pay attention and deserves a second and third rereading to absorb everything. Nothing is as it seems, and the cliffhanger will leave you gasping. In fiction, vampire interference in your life is a good thing.
