I'm surprised that this is the first review for this novel as it is a worthy read! The author follows on from the first book (Maneater) well. Laura Greenacre is now based in New York and 'existing'...a nothing job, trying to stay as inconspicuous as possible. John Thorn and his daughter are trying to live 'off the radar' in Wales...but the tides are turning against Laura, John and his daughter. A number of years after the Trafalgar Square incident, Ruth Templeton is out for revenge for the loss of her son and family as the London werewolves.
This book is a great follow up. It really is like a continuation...next chapter. Same writing style, generally the same characters and a new story trajectory based on revenge. I liked the matriach Ruth and we really get to see her domineering and relentless drive to destroy Laura and John. The book moves globally - Russia, Spain, America, UK...although the climax is a Times Square mirror image of the original London-based end to Maneater.
I really like Emson's style. He is engaging, descriptive, immersive and detailed. If you like your fiction with a supernatural twist. Buy Maneater and Prey and read them in order! Recommended.
