A Wolf Winter Novel
The world ends not with a bang, but with a downpour. Tornadoes spin through the heart of London, New York cooks in a heat wave that melts tarmac, and Russia freezes under an ever-thickening layer of permafrost. People rally at first—organizing aid drops and evacuating populations—but the weather is only getting worse.
In Durham, mild-mannered academic Danny Fennick has battened down to sit out the storm. He grew up in the Scottish Highlands, so he’s seen harsh winters before. Besides, he has an advantage. He’s a werewolf. Or, to be precise, a weredog. Less impressive, but still useful.
Except the other werewolves don’t believe this is any ordinary winter, and they’re coming down over the Wall to mark their new territory. Including Danny’s ex, Jack--the Crown Prince Pup of the Numitor’s pack--and the prince's brother, who wants to kill him.
A wolf winter isn’t white. It’s red as blood.

What l liked most about this book was the wolves were well...wolves, sometimes cold calculating and different even on two legs in the way they thought.It was great not see the wolves going off to bbq s and acting like humans. The wild was in there blood and T A Moore did a great job in setting up this world.
This was a struggle for survival and it was no holds barred battle.
I liked Jack, he could be cold and had little understanding or sympathy for humans, struggled to understand why Danny wanted that connection.
Because ultimately Danny was his...
Danny wasn't but any means a pushover Jack wasn't going to be able to just explode back Into his life and call Danny to heel...he was going to to have to bend a little.
I liked Jacks brother, he spent most of the time trying to kill Jack and Danny but when circumstances happened that needed wolves to stand together he did what he had to do.
I think towards the end of the book Gregor even felt a grudging respect for Danny ...not that he would ever voice those thoughts.
I suspect you would have had to nail him to the wall and he still wouldn't have let that out.
The ex- girlfriend plays a big part in the tension between Jack and Danny and it was well done, no tired old troupe of ex partners just Danny trying to do the the right thing.
I am hoping there will be another book about these guys I would love to see how Jack and Danny negotiate what happens next.
Well worth a read.

Dog Days Wolf Winter Book 1 edition by TA Moore Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
I actually picked up this book on a random recommend through . Sometimes I listen but many times I seem to be pickier than the recommendation algorithms out there. This time, the formula won. It wasn’t my normal pick but I enjoyed it nonetheless.
Dog Days is very much an apocalyptic book. As in, the world is ending as you watch and it’s … fun in a morbid way. It’s also a supernatural book involving shapeshifting wolves, who aren’t werewolves but are more closely tied to the wolves of Roman myths. In my book, myths are great, especially when tied in so well to what’s going on.
We’re following two main characters, Jack and Danny, though a secondary character, Jenny, hops in a bit towards the end. Jack is wolf. And I say it that way on purpose. He’s just as much beast as he is man and that’s an important distinction in this series. The wolves aren’t nice; Jack’s not nice but he’s nicer than many of the rest of his kind. It’s not even obvious the difference until his twin is around. I didn’t really get the sense of too much strife in Jack’s character arc. He’s more at loose ends with his exile and he decides Danny is his new pack.
Danny is what is known as a dog, a wolf whose blood is thinned so much by human DNA that they not only take the form of wolfhounds but their attitude is like that of a hound. They’re loyal to a fault and non-aggressive unless it’s really called for. We get to see how the wolf winter affects Danny. The winter itself doesn’t seem to bother him much; he’s still a shapeshifter and tougher than a human. However, Danny likes humans and feels responsible towards them. He’s also drawn to Jack and feels split between the two sides of his nature. This pull of his loyalties is no more evident than in his differing reactions to Jack and Jenny (which I just realized are the names of donkeys and that makes me laugh because both characters are manipulative asses).
Moore pulled old world Roman myths in with old world Scottish myths. The wild of Selene’s wolves versus the fierceness of Fenrir. We get to see a bit of the wolf society, such as it is. It’s more we see how packs work to a small degree and know that their religious leaders are horribly mutilated and are considered lesser. Dogs are considered the bottom tier though packs keep them to allow for peaceful dealings with the local humans as dogs tend to put humans at ease. The insights into how their world works is fun. It’s nothing overwhelming for the reader, just enough to give a bit of an idea and then move on.
Honestly, watching the world end and the crazy weather was immensely fun. Tornadoes and blizzards and ice rain and hail from nowhere and all of it unseasonal. While most of the humans have evacuated, a few are still in the area and something is killing them. Something horrific and all with the promise that the wolves will be coming out of obscurity to claim their place in the world.
All of this is told in a way that keeps the wolves as wild as possible, even when they turn into men. Even Danny comes off at times as being barely human. It’s rough and something other to what human society is used to. With Jenny and a handful of other humans around, the contrast is brilliant and hard as glittering ice.
I loved every minute of it and I certainly recommend this book with a 5 out of 5.
Dog Days is incredibly smart, eerie, exciting, and a very excellent read.
This is not a formulaic, happy-puppy shifter story. I have been saddened over the years as these primal creatures became more and more tame. TA Moore corrected that beautifully here. Her shifters are wild, untamed, animalistic, and sometimes quite inhuman.
As I mentioned, this is not a formulaic story. It doesn't start with any sort of prologue or set-up that I think most genre readers are used to. You are not led down the path by a hand on yours from the author. Not everything is pointed out to you. More like you find yourself on a dark and twisty path, given a shove, and you need to just follow the characters down it. Readers need to have their own imagination and not just let the author paint the entire picture for them. I'm not saying this is a hard story to follow. It certainly is not that. But no, as other reviewers mentioned, the catastrophic weather isn't neatly explained. It's not supposed to be. Honestly, anyone paying attention would most likely think it was due to climate change. Or, perhaps, it really is the Wolf's Winter. A sense of magic, of the Wild, is subtly threaded through the entire story. Which is what you should expect in a story about people who change shapes. That's what makes it so fun, so special.
The characters are wonderfully written. This is an ensemble cast and each is their own person. Each has their strengths and their flaws. From the enigmatic and threatening brother to the first year med student who is afraid but still trying to help. Every one had their part to play and really added to the story. Including the oft maligned female character. Jenny is an integral part of the story. Her presence is a catalyst for many things and the history she shares, the links she shares, with Danny are incredibly important to the plot. She is in no way “in the way” of the story. She helps the story unfold. Even more, she is written realistically, which is often hard to find in the M/M genre. I really enjoyed Jenn.
As I read this, I just kept thinking about how exciting a movie it would make. It was a supernatural and disaster and mystery all rolled into one. With a core of a romance. Danny and Jack were really wonderful as a pair because they both were kind of irritated that they were invested in each other. Their past relationship hadn't faded and they were connected whether they wanted to be or not. They both tried to explain it away, but their actions spoke so much more loudly. It made them more real. There were no dramatic gestures or words. Just solidness and a bit of snark.
This is not a “romance” book. If you are looking for sweetness and fluffy-puppy werewolves set in a scary situation, this is not for you. This is a well-written fiction novel with two strong men as protagonists that are hot for each other in all sorts of ways. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who likes their shifters raw and primal, enjoys well-written disasters, and loves a slow-burn and slightly antagonistic love story.
