Johnny Lycan & the Vegas Berserker

Johnny Lupul is a licensed privet investigator who is big and hairy, even when he is not a werewolf. Johnny’s affluent client, Mr. Cromwell, has a simple job for him. Travel to Las Vegas and pick up an artifact that Cromwell has purchased. But when Sin City is involved, nothing is simple. While securing the mystical relic from a coven of witches operating a magic show, Johnny comes face to face with a real-life Viking Berserker. Or maybe a better description in Johnny’s case, fur to fang. As I said, nothing comes easy in Las Vegas.

Johnny Lycan & the Vegas Berserker is the second book in Wayne Turmel’s Johnny Lycan series. Even though there are numerous urban werewolf fantasies, Turmel is able to distinguish his book from many others. Writing in the first-person noir style gives Turmel’s characters the dark and gritty persona they deserve. The dialog, at times, can be cliché but is never dull or pedestrian. With all the action a battle with a werewolf can deliver, this action-packed thriller is a hard book to put down. Any fan of paranormal PI dramas would be captivated by Johnny Lycan & the Vegas Berserker.
