The question is can they actually escape, kill Theodor, and manage to survive what history remembers as one of the bloodiest wars?

Tara Fox Hall has created a book that will be loved by war aficionados, history buffs, and paranormal fans alike. It ticks so many boxes for what is layered between its pages. As a history buff and reader, I could see the research that went into the book to give credibility and realism to the characters of the time and I enjoyed those little details. From a paranormal aspect, there is a lot to sink your teeth into with all the different kinds of 'weres' that Lash comes into contact with and makes his friends. It is an adventure and, like all adventures, there are a lot of twists and turns and it keeps you interested. For me, it took about a chapter to feel fully invested in the story and once I was, I did not want to put it down for anything. I would highly recommend this book if you want something that is going to entertain and rivet you.

Visit World War II in a completely unique way in the historical fantasy thriller War by Tara Fox Hall. The things that go unseen behind the scenes come to life as weresnake, Lash, takes a trip to Europe, seeking his nephew as well as his ex-lover Nancy. His trip to the continent comes at a time when the sabers are rattling and Germany is preparing for war. Things aren’t so easily accomplished without some sort of sacrifice and Lash is forced into service to the Nazi state by a werecougar, Theodore von Kessel. While marching with the German army, Lash learns of Germany’s “Final Solution” and the role that he is expected to play in it. He also becomes friends with another soldier and weresnake, Dieter, as well as bringing Nancy to safety. When Lash escapes and discovers that both Dieter and Nancy were captured during their escape, he is forced to return to Europe for another rescue. This time, he is joined by another weresnake, Nails, and a mixed group of weremen to free Dieter and Nancy from the prison camps. In his attempt, Lash is imprisoned in a death camp after being ambushed by demons and captured. However, Lash escapes and is soon reunited with Dieter as they march onward along with the American forces to D-Day. Lash has come full circle and begins his primary mission a third time while attempting to survive the last days of World War II.

War presents the story of one of the most brutal times in the history of the world from a different realm, the realm of werepeople. This unique concept provides an interesting twist to the traditional historical novel and allows a creative explanation for some of the strange things that happen in times of war. Creative, suspenseful and action packed, War will stir up ideas in readers’ mind which go beyond the recorded history of the Second World War and leave them out of breath in the process.
