Enoch's Reviews > House of Wolves

So I was really looking for a good popcorn book to read on a flight between NH and Utah. I saw this book in the bookstore and figured what the heck. On the whole the book isn't horrible, it just wasn't great.

It sells itself as a "Indiana Jones meets National Treasure" type of thriller. However, it seems to almost be made up of happenstance instead of deliberate action. There is the occasional misdirection and red-herring in the book, but the ending and final reveal seem a little too contrived.

The secret society is intriguing and reading the excerpt at the end about what Matt went through to find out the information about the society makes the realism really pop. So I have to give it props for that little bit of historical data. This book really made me want to like it more ... it just didn't deliver on it.
