Summary: An excellent book, but a little confusing
Review: We both read this book and enjoyed it, yet found it confusing she touched things and flashed back without any warning to the reader. I wouldn't suggest it for an oral bookreport-no one understands what on earth you're talking about. This book probably isn't for the younger generation because of the adult content, but if you're mature enough we think you'll be okay.

Summary: Give me a break!
Review: So she's Ann Rice's sisters, but that doesn't mean she's a good writter as well. I have been looking for a good werewolf book, and I am still looking. The book doesn't even get interesting until the end, where she finally runs into other werewolves. This is where the book actually gets started and the events described on the back cover begin. The whole begging and middle of the book is just of bunch of jibberish. Many details described in the book don't make sense, have nothing to do with the story, and just rambel on forever. And as for romance? Ha! There was none. The aurther needed to write more about the werewolves, and less about leepers, Lucia, and cruel relatives. And as for the story taking place in Rome, that was another unimportant detail. This story could of took place anywhere. DO NOT waste your time reading this horrible and predictable book.

Summary: ~ Vampires, too, are Allured by the Moon ~
Review: I read this book beside only the moonlight and some candles to light my way. (I kid you not, for all ambient purposes; some books should be read that way.) This is a fine example of storytelling at its most fantastic. Regeane, like some of us, is a fluke of nature, a singular being. Day by day in the world, set here in the last years of the Roman Empire, she is a blossoming, intelligent young woman. Yet whenever the moon shines in the night sky, she transforms into her other self, her alter ego: the wolf that bursts forth from the recesses of her soul. Regeane lives with her sinister uncle, Gundabald, who despises her as much as he fears her. He imprisons her as he schemes to marry her off to and later murder a wealthy barbarian lord whom she has never met. She occasionally manages escape - a savoring of days spent meeting interesting people caught up in the backdrop of political intrigue in Rome, and of nights basking beneath the allure of the moon, her ageless spirit haunted by the sense of a mysterious wolf whose soul seems preternaturally kindred with her own. True, Alice Borchardt is the sister of Anne Rice. And though they each possess a magic manner of weaving a tale, their styles are distinctly different. I am attuned to the charms of both. This is a wonderful story to read upon an evening by fire or candlelight, or any which way your heart desires ~

Summary: What a disappointment
Review: Having read the books by Sysan Kriniard, I thought that I would get a story line in a similar vein. The main character of this story was very unsure of herself and at constant war with her other self. In addition to that was the overwhelming violence of the uncle and nephew, especially as it related to women. This did not endear me to the author at all. When you add these items to the story taking place in ancient Roman times, this did not make it a great read for me.

Summary: The Silver Wolf
Review: DREADFUL, DREADFUL, DREADFUL. I have never seen such a badly-written load of pap in my entire life. This reads like the worst of amateur fiction. The author has no regard or talent for the art of writing whatsoever. If I had not been on holiday in a non-English-speaking country, and unable to find a single other book at all, I would not even have bothered to finish. I do not recommend this "story" to anyone with any regard at all for quality literature. Anne Rice's gushing comments on the cover can be, I think, disregarded.

Summary: Dark and moody werewolf tale worth reading
Review: Regeane is a beautiful young woman with werewolf blood. Because of this, her nasty uncle has kept her captive and beaten and starved her. When she discovers that he plans to sell her to a wealthy barbarian she risks her life and escapes. The remainder of the book concentrates on Regeane's self-discovery and the other, often odd, sometimes depraved people she encounters. She's known she can shapeshift but she also learns that she has visions and can speak to the dead. Eventually she becomes embroiled in a dangerous political situation and meets her soul mate and all ends pretty happily ever after. This book, set in Rome during the Dark Ages, is rough, meaty and often very dark. It's not a book for everyone because the author gets really graphic and vividly describes numerous vile acts including torture and assorted bodily functions. The book also goes off into tangents when the numerous secondary characters take center stage but their stories were interesting even though they rarely advanced the plot. My mind only started to wander during the times when the book got into heavy political details - which aren't my thing. If you can get past all that, and don't mind a highly descriptive book you'll find a very interesting story that is often (at the most unexpected times) very hilarious in a morbid kind of way. I found this story, for the most part, very difficult to put down and am looking forward to the sequel which I hope ties up some loose ends.

Summary: A great read
Review: I absolutely loved Silver Wolf. It is the first book I've read by Alice Borchardt. It was captivating. I was held spellbound by the story of Regeane from beginning to end. I literally couldn't put it down.

Summary: Silver Wolf
Review: The book Silver Wolf is the first book i have ever read that Alice Borchdart has written. I loved it. It is an excellent book if you like fiction mixed with historical details of the Roman Empire and the begining of the Carolingean Dynasty. Its romantic, mysterious and excelerating. My most sincere congratulations to the author. I wish her a lot of success in her future books. I would recomend everybody who read Silver Wolf to read also Night of the Wolf which is a continuation of Silver Wolf. I hope everybody likes it as much as I did.
