Paul DuJardin is a French author who wrote a book about
the Montfort Family. In 1789 a Montfort turned into a
werewolf and killed a young countess named Marie-Jeanne.
The Montforts are a long line of werewolves that are
almost all extinct, except for one, Pierre de Montfort. He
is the last existing werewolf alive in the family. Pierre is a jeweler by day, a werewolf by night. No one
knows about his shift changing abilities, not even his
girlfriend. If Pierre marries and reproduces, there will
be more dangerous werewolves to deal with. Someone wants
to stop this from happening by putting an end to Pierre's
life. Paul met Julie Buchanan while visiting the original
Montfort Estate in Paris where the murder of Marie-Jeanne
happened. Julie happens to be an ancestor of Marie-Jeanne.
After meeting, Paul and Julie develop a relationship.
Julie is a book translator, and Paul asks for her
assistance in translating his French novel about the
Montfort Werewolves into English. When the book is released in the US, Pierre is furious.
Not only did Paul write a book about Pierre's family, he
also named Pierre and identified him as a werewolf. How
can Pierre keep his secret after this book is published
for the whole world to see? Will he become furious and
retaliate with murder? Will Pierre go after Julie for
helping Paul release this book in the US? Paul works alongside a crew of people who work for The
Institute to hunt werewolves and kill them. The doctor
they work for is very interested in Pierre and wants him
captured so he can study him. He gives the crew strict
orders not to kill Pierre, but how do you capture a
dangerous werewolf without killing him? As the crew from The Institute puts together an elaborate
plan to capture the werewolf, Pierre starts to lose
control and goes on a killing spree around New Jersey and
New York. Will Paul be able to catch Pierre before he
kills another person? DEVOUR is an exciting werewolf story with lots of suspense
and mystery. The hunt for Pierre the werewolf is exciting
and you never know who he will turn on next. As a New
Jersey resident, I thoroughly enjoyed the references to
local New Jersey towns and highways scattered throughout
the book. Melina Morel writes in a compelling and intriguing way
that makes the reader become completely immersed in the
story. DEVOUR is a fantastic book that suspense readers
will enjoy. The romance is minimal, which is odd being
this is a paranormal romance. But if you are looking for
an exciting werewolf story with lots of action, then you
will love DEVOUR. This is a fantastic debut by a very
talented author and I look forward to reading another book
by Melina Morel.
