The Noose of a New Moon by Helen HarperMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
First in a new spin-off series featuring Devereau Webb, a modern-day Fagin leading a rag-tag group of pick-pockets in London (more politely referred to as a small criminal syndicate). In Midnight Smoke Devereau chooses to become a werewolf, intending to then change his niece Alice who is dying, a sacrifice that is ultimately unnecessary.
Now Devereau is a werewolf he is discovering that life isn't as great as he was expecting. There are rules and regulations, his old crew are scared of him, and the Alphas of the four London werewolf clans expect him to be subservient.
Then he comes across a young girl who has been illegally turned into a werewolf at the scene of a double homicide and all his protective instincts are triggered. Can he save this girl from near-certain death and bring whoever turned her to justice while fending off the clans and the Supe Squad?
This was a great read, fast-paced, engaging and full of supernatural creatures, I have already bought and read the second book in the series!
