Sir Thomas Malory, Mary Stewart, Marion Zimmer Bradley, Bernard Cornwell -- those hacks don't know anything about Arthurian legend. You see, Merlin was an alien from another dimension. He was sent to choose a group of humans to become the protectors of the human race, to keep us from destroying ourselves. He selected King Arthur and all his court, charged them with this task, and gave them immortality -- he turned them into vampires. To watch these watchers, Merlin also secretly created the werewolves, a secret group to keep the vampires in line, if they ever went power-mad and decided to destroy humanity theirselves.

Fast forward to present day South Carolina, where werewolf Jim London's best friend (and fellow werewolf) has died under mysterious circumstances. He goes undercover as a dog (yes, you read that right) to "work" with Faith Weston, the local K-9 officer, to find out the truth. Which leads to more werewolves, vampires, fairies, cross-dimensional magic battles, and lots of sex.

Granted, the sex scenes are very well-written -- they're lengthy, steamy, go into great detail, and there are a lot of them for a 300 page book. However, after the first one, I realized this is a romance novel with werewolves. Furries. Oh, yes -- I read the rest of this book praying I wouldn't turn the page to find furry sex awaiting me. To my great, relief, there is none (though it does come far too close), but consider yourself warned. There are far too many references to doggie-style for me to recommend this book to anyone, so my suggestion is for the interested reader to borrow a copy from someone and make them mark the sex scenes first, so you can skip straight to the good parts.
