[MurderByDeath]

Pure gothic suspense.   Two young heiresses sent to live in a mansion out on the moors of Yorkshire, completely removed from any society, with a mysterious guardian they've never met:  check. Old abandoned half-ruined monastery:  check. 2 misunderstood sons, one dark and brooding, one sensitive and artistic:  check Rampant superstition about mythical creatures:  check One supposedly untameable black stallion: check Big hounds roaming the moors:  check Gypsies:  check   Sons of the Wolf has it all in spades.  Unfortunately, I didn't really connect with any of the characters enough to make the fantastically insane and relatively dark plot work.  I didn't hate it, but I wasn't at all invested in it, making a lot of small things I probably wouldn't notice if I were neck deep in the story stand out and irk me.   I didn't hate it; if someone were in the mood for a gothic story, it might provide a fun afternoon.  But it wasn't one of Michaels best.
