Summary: Great premise, great characters
Review: I expected more from this book, but it ended up feeling like just another horror paperback (for which I paid a hardcover price). The tabloid headlines were cute for a while, but there wasn't much depth, and the twist at the end was both dark and disappointingly cliche. The book left me both depressed and uninterested in what would happen next. The convention of using italics and capitals to refer to gender/family relations when speaking from a werewolf's point of view was stylistically annoying and distracting, to boot. I'm generally a fan of werewolf books, and eager to go along with whatever the new spin on the mythology is, but this just wasn't fun.

Summary: No Good and Disappointing.
Review: I gave this book a two, because it really is good if you don't like "Happily-Ever-After" It has good ideas, but it has a bad ending. It was REALLY good until the last few chapters. Like I said Bad ending. The girl doesn't get the guy or wolf as the case is.Ghost Wolf

Summary: Excellent horror novel
Review: If it looks and acts like a wolf pack hunting humans, it can only be a werewolf brood settling near Denver. Already residing in the Mile High City is the leader of another werewolf pack Lucius. He tries to act as human as possible. He lives in an apartment, works as a bartender, and dates female Homo Sapiens. He hides his heritage in order to protect his pack. However, his identity is in danger of exposure when he saves a woman's life from a gangbanger. He picks the worst person to save, at least from a werewolf perspective as Cathy "Cat" Mosell works for the Quest, a tabloid so sleazy that its peers avoid it. She saw his transformation from man to wolf and reports her up close and personal observation to her editor. He runs a front-page expose claiming a dangerous werewolf runs loose in the city. The newly arrived werewolves are vermin challenging Lucius' more civilized crowd. With half the city already after them and now a deadly rival wanting supremacy, Lucius seems to have too much to deal with yet still wants Cat as his own. This horror story looks deeply inside the heart, mind, and soul of a werewolf in such an in depth manner that readers will believe that this novel is a character study. The audience learns how the lycanthrope think and feel especially about their own species and their natural enemy humanity. In this wonderfully written work of fiction, P.D Cacek brings credence to the existence of lycanthropic creatures by making CANYONS a howling successful look at "reality." Harriet Klausner

Summary: Great premise, great characters
Review: P.D. Cacek's Canyons is a worthy addition to the volumes that have been written about everyone's favorite monster, the werewolf. Her research on the behavior of wolves is spot-on, and I completely bought her premise that a werewolf pack lives as one of Denver's oldest families. I could have done with a little less gore, but really enjoyed the book anyway. Well worth a read.

Summary: I Went Along For The Ride But...
Review: Tabloid reporter meets real werewolf. What's not to like with that, especially since the story is punctuated with tabloid story titles highlighting important scenes. This is a quick and interesting read. I think that I'd cut the character of Cat a little more slack than some of the other reviewers because, when you think about it, she found herself in some really weird circumstances. Some readers might be bothered by the graphic violence and incestuous relationships (but hey, they're lycanthropes not humans). My problem with this book was the ending. Throughout the whole book, Lucius seems to have some sort of mystical connection with Cat, saving her and pursuing her. The basis for this is never really explained, but it had to be more than her being a you-know-what in heat (which I'm just surmising here, because that was never mentioned). Yet at the end of the book his personality changes completely, and I don't think that the character development that led up to this justifies it. Here's hoping there'll be a sequel (since threads were definitely left hanging) that'll resolve some of my questions. Even having said all this, if you're a werewolf/paranormal genre fan, this book is definitely worth reading.

Summary: Incest Ruined Book
Review: The beginning of the book was good. The violence didn't bother me. I expected violence in a werewolf book. The incest took me completely by surprise and was an absolutely disgusting edition to the story. It was not needed at all. It did nothing to add to the plot. It was unnecessary and turned me off all other books by this P. D. Cacek

Summary: Good, but more gruesome than it needed to be
Review: The story reminded me a little of the old Kolchak: The Night Stalker TV series, with its tabloid journal background and the quirky tone and characters. Denver is well-drawn and the concept of the decrepit warehouse district of Lower Downtown harboring a renegade werewolf pack makes for creepy reading. The concept of one of Denver's oldest families being yet another werewolf clan was less well-drawn, however, though still an interesting concept. This being a novel about the beast in all of us, feeding time inevitably comes around, but there was no reason for the level of detail Cacek brought to the violence. Still, it's a good love story with a lot of action, and the lingering fear that she plants in your mind will keep you away from warehouse districts after dark.
