Pack of Outlaws

Juan “Tezcat” Medina is about to take the law into his own hands. Having lost his wife and daughter to a gang of outlaws, he's been given the chance to have them back with him. All he has to do is kill the six men who robbed him of his family. But there's something different about this gang of outlaws, something Tezcat isn't aware of until it's too late and he's forced into a showdown with evil.

FULL MOON IN THE WEST by Dominic Stabile is a tale of revenge in Mexico, complete with werewolves. Tezcat makes a deal with a witch to bring back his wife and daughter from the dead, but she leaves out a key detail. The action alternates between shooting, biting and clawing.

Tezcat frustrates me, as he keeps flipping between wanting revenge and wanting peace. His sister is far more impressive, doing more damage than any of the men. Watson, the Sheriff, comes off as a real jerk, claiming the werewolves have to answer to his authority. The Sheriff shares a flashback, which only makes me question his logic even more. Not sure why he thought he could make werewolves answer to the Law.

While I enjoyed the story (and I usually dislike anything with a Western theme), I think the author should consider turning this into a novella or full-length novel, in order to include more details about the Pack of Outlaws. At the very least, I'd love a prequel about the original deal the outlaws made.

As always,
