    5.0 out of 5 stars I wasn't disappointed. When I finished the Epilog
    Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2015

    O.K. So this is the third book of the French Quarter series by Eric Wilder that I've read. And once again, I wasn't disappointed. When I finished the Epilog, the first thing to pop in my brain was, "What a literary romp that was!" While this book can easily stand alone, I'm glad I've read the series in sequence. There's a wonderful, likeable ensemble of characters that weave through all three, beginning with the hero, Wyatt Thomas. You just gotta love this recovering alcoholic with a soft spot for cats, an insider's knowledge of the many facets of New Orleans, and an uncanny ability and fearlessness when solving mysteries. Combine all that with a case that involves voodoo, werewolves (or for this tale, rougarou) a catastrophic hurricane the likes of Katrina, pampered celebrities, strange monks, and gory, seemingly unexplainable murders and you have a read that, like I said, is a real romp! Eric Wilder is a master storyteller who can almost make the bizarre, believable. On to #4!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Werewolf, Cajun-style
    Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2013
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    A rougarou is a Cajun werewolf. There may, or may not, be a pack of them living at the old monastery turned Hollywood retreat on Goose Island, south of New Orleans. Then again it could be zombies or maybe one of the Hollywood types got homicidal realizing they were going to spend their career so far off the beaten path it may as well be a different world. That's what P.I. Wyatt Thomas is hired to discover in PRIMAL CREATURES. Along the way, Wyatt, and a hugely entertaining cast of Southern cops, voodoo mambos, Hollywood glitterati, non-Catholic monks and more, must face their fears, each other and a freak hurricane if anyone is ever going to get to the truth.

    This is the third Wyatt Thomas mystery novel by Eric Wilder and although I've enjoyed them all, this one is my favorite. Possibly because Wilder's rougarou is not only scientifically plausible but also because there is a rich flavor that clings to this book that is missing in other supernatural mysteries set in Louisiana (yes, I'm talking about the Southern Vampire Mysteries by Charlaine Harris). Either way, PRIMAL CREATURES is an entertaining and quick read that will keep you on the edge of your seat right to the end.

    You don't have to know anything about voodoo, southern folklore or even the two previous Wyatt Thomas novels to enjoy PRIMAL CREATURES. If you like mysteries and the preternatural, you'll like PRIMAL CREATURES. I certainly did!

    This is an interesting story. Not exactly what I expected but once you get past a couple chapters, you'll be hooked. The story takes an "interesting" turn with unexpected characters that will throw you for a loop...but keep reading. It made me smile sometimes. I think the author has a great imagination. You gotta love this. Enjoy.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastically creepy!
    Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2013
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    A little predictable, and the characters put themselves into danger at times for no apparent (or sufficient) reason. But one only has so many pages one can put in a book before the reader becomes bored, I guess. (Spoiler alert) I really liked the scenes where the affected people transformed into rougarous, and some of the descriptions were just so very entertainingly visceral, they made me want to go "ewwwwww" out loud.

    The repartee and chemistry between Sierra and Professor Quinn was delightful. And being such an animal person as I am, I really appreciated the interludes with Kisses, King Tut and Chuckie.

    Please write more, Eric!!!! We need more of these lovely settings, and the adventures of Wyatt Thomas.
