Reccer's comments: Brilliant, sexy, suspenseful and romantic - this is an excellent blending of BBC Sherlock with a world in which werewolves exist. I gave this a try on the strength of the excellent A Study in Winning by the same author and it was soooo worth it. I especially loved how Sherlock's deductions and his character in general went so well with heightened sensory abilities of the werewolf and how John reacted to the danger of being locked up with a man about to turn into a deadly beast. Extra points for the brilliant writing of their budding relationship and how their captors react to it.
