When the Full Moon Meets Forensics
In Skinwalkers, ancient Native American lore collides with the modern world when a string of brutal murders in the American Southwest draws FBI agent Terri Watson and her team into a chilling hunt. Convinced a shapeshifter is behind the killings, they rely on an unlikely ally—Alex, a former foe and werewolf—to help stop the carnage, only to find themselves becoming prey. Fast-paced and relentless, the story races forward like a roller coaster, keeping readers on edge from the very first page.
This second installment is just as engaging as the first, with the author, D. Werkmeister, continuing to deepen both the characters and the story in thoughtful ways. Alex’s growth—especially her methods and decision-making—adds meaningful insight and makes her feel layered and relatable. The dialogue rings true to each moment, and the plot twists are unexpected yet blend naturally into the narrative, keeping the pace steady without feeling forced.
The internal tension around involving a werewolf in the investigation, along with the subtle emergence of a romantic thread, adds warmth without distracting from the mystery. The team’s mix of personalities works well together, creating an authentic dynamic that strengthens the story.
Serving as the narrator, Darin Wekmeister delivers a strong, steady performance that fits the tone of the story beautifully. He communicates the action and suspense with clarity and confidence, never rushing the moment but allowing each scene the space it needs to land. His cadence is consistent and reassuring, which makes even the more intense sequences easy to follow and fully absorb. There’s a subtle emotional layering to his delivery that lets you feel the tension, doubt, and determination without overplaying it. His character voices are distinct yet grounded, so the story flows smoothly and never feels theatrical or forced. It’s the kind of narration that quietly pulls you in and keeps you there—supporting the story rather than competing with it—and that makes for a truly enjoyable listening experience.
Overall, it’s a smooth, well-crafted continuation that builds confidently on the foundation of the first book.
