Product Description:


Ada and Harriet don't know what to expect when they meet their new guardian, Mr. Wolfson. Here is a strangely magnetic, darkly amusing man confined to a wheelchair and flanked by a pair of fierce, dangerous dogs—an enigmatic benefactor, at once welcoming and intimidating. Even more unsettling to the girls are Wolfson's two sons, Julian and Francis. One of them is warm and good-natured, the other is pure malevolence. But young Harriet is about to discover a frightening truth: that evil runs rampant throughout their mysterious new home, Abbey Manor, and the surrounding moors—especially when the moon comes out . . .

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - slow beginning, fast ending
This novel starts out slow, but builds to a rather fast ending. The story is written as pages in a diary. Which makes for an interesting story.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - good book
I loved the entire story. The characters, the mystery, and the settling give just makes you want to read it over and over again and still be intrigue. When I saw the book for the first time, I looked at its cover first because it seemed promising along with the title that there was a mystery behind it so I bought it and I love. Trust me, if you are a fan of Barbara Michaels and you have not read this yet then read it. It is worth your time trust me.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Amazing!
I have read this book numerous times, and each time it gets better. I even bought a hardcover copy because my paperback version is dog-eared and bent in several places because of how many times I have read it. The heroine in this book is especially likeable as is the hero. Even the villian is somewhat likeable because of the talent of the author. This book is in my opinion Barbara Michaels finest work and I have read all her books. Other books I would recommend by this author are "Here I Stay" ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Not for Cynics
This novel lacks the sophistication of many of Barbara Michaels' other works, but it offers a good read just the same. You have to get into the gothic spirit of the thing to enjoy it. Sure, it's silly and the wolves aren't that scary - and there are limited possibilities as to who the villain could turn out to be. But if you're a fan of that "windswept moor" kind of suspense novel, complete with carriages, heiresses, castles, and crumbling ruins by moonlight, then you will probably enjoy it. It's ...

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The wolf within Mrs. Michaels
Sons of the Wolf has to be Barbara Michaels greatest novel yet. This novel is full of myster and drama.

The novel begins with two sisters Harriet and Ada who have just become orphaned by their grandmother, and are forced to live with a distant cousin. In it they discover two bothers who are total oppostes and who have secrets themselves. Yet the main question circulating throughout the novel is, who is the true wolf trying to devour the innocent sheep like sisters. If you love mystery ... Read More
