Breeds 2: A Werewolf Thriller

Keith C Blackmore returns with a sequel that examines the lingering physical toll of lycanthropy. Kirk and Morris survive their conflict with Borland but face new biological crises. They gain strength and silver immunity yet suffer from an insatiable hunger that only Newfoundland meat can satisfy. This metabolic shift forces them into a desperate role reversal as they become hunters rather than prey. The narrative tension escalates when a stranger enters Morris’s territory under the guise of deer hunting. The warden recognizes the predator in the visitor immediately. A race against time begins as Kirk and Morris rally other wardens to stop this rogue werewolf before the next full moon. The stakes involve the safety of Halifax, which faces a voracious threat if they fail. This book suits readers who enjoy urban fantasy with visceral horror elements. Fans of Robert R. McCammon, Maggie Stiefvater, and Chase Novak will find familiar thematic ground. It does not appeal to those seeking lighthearted supernatural romances or stories without graphic biological consequences. The text focuses on the grim reality of survival and the burden of power. Blackmore draws on werewolf folklore traditions while updating them for a modern setting. The story is set in Halifax during winter, using the season’s darkness to amplify the terror. The publisher Podium Publishing released this volume in 2022. It follows the events of the first book directly, continuing the saga without requiring extensive prior knowledge of the specific island origins mentioned earlier.
