Waxing
By: Lillian Brummet
The excerpt in the opening page of Waxing, before all the
credits and the title page, was fantastic! That little enticing
excerpt compelled me to read on with energy. This compact,
204 page fiction could be classified as a paranormal
romance fantasy.
Author Megan Powell uses wit and pace to create a fun and
suspenseful story. An alpha werewolf male is cursed and
assailed from unexpected directions. In desperation, he
turns to a solitary witch in hopes of righting wrongs and
keeping peace within his pack. This is a story about
obligations, finding love and balancing an underground life
while intermingling with a society that must never know their
kind exists.
Contrary to many stories involving werewolves and witches,
Waxing has a believable scenario, is action-packed with an
interesting and complex romance between the main
characters, Derek and Liz. The author displays a rare talent
in bringing the reader into the story at a deeper level by
showing the thought processes of her main characters.
Having written her own books, participated in several
short-story anthology books and currently editing two
e-zines while doing book reviews for another e-zine, one
could easily say that Megan Powell is an accomplished and
busy writer. Her work tends to involve notes of magic,
mystery and the intrigue of the unknown.
I enjoyed reading Waxing by Megan Powell. Actually the story
reminded me of another enjoyable book entitled Shifter by J
& G Reeves-Stevens - book one of the Chronicles of Galen
Sword. Waxing, however, would be appropriate for young
adult and adult readers alike.
