Thank you Walker Books for this book in exchange for an honest review

Synopsis:

Boy lives in a caravan on his own in the woods. His dad, John, is in prison and promises to get out soon. All the boy needs to do is survive alone for a little while longer.
But dark forces are circling – like the dangerous man in the Range Rover, who is looking for his stolen money. And then there are the ancient forces that have lain asleep in the woods for an age.

Review:

We all need a little dark tale in our life, and this is it. We Were Wolves can basically be compared to A Monster Calls, when you read it, you feel it deep in your soul.

We Were Wolves is based around a young boy who lives in the woods with his father, a man suffering the effects of PTSD after Afghanistan war and struggling with everyday life at home with his family. The young boy is besotted with his father and continues to chose the love of family as he constantly forgives his father for his misdeeds and law breaking antics.

This broken home is filled with love and while love and support doesn’t repair people, it can bring them up when they need it. Though, lets have a fair warning about this book, it is filled with grief, heart ache, loss and despair. And obviously with all this darkness, I loved it!!!
