A Novel

By: Mike Bockoven

Narrated by: Pete Simonelli

Cherry, Nebraska, population 312, is just off the highway between the sticks and the boonies. It’s where Dave Rhodes and his friends have lived all their lives. They own businesses, raise families, pay taxes, deal with odd neighbors, and, once or twice a month - just like their fathers before them - transform into wolves.

It’s not a bad life, but when one of the group members goes astray, it sets in motion a series of events that will threaten to destroy the delicate balance that has kept Dave and his clan off the radar. Between a son getting ready for his first transformation - called The Scratch - a wife with sordid secrets, a new sheriff who knows nothing of the creatures in his midst, and a mysterious man in a bow tie with a shady agenda, the middle of nowhere is about to get very dangerous.

Fun story

I enjoyed the narration and the story line. Nothing super surprising in the way the story unfolds but a fun listen all around.

Really good story

The only reason, and I mean the only reason I’m giving this a four star on performance was because of the no-so-great Irish accent.
But the story was so engaging and the many of characters were well developed and multi-dimensional. Mike built a whole world in less than eight hours. I am dying for the sequel.

OOWWOOOOO!!! Can I have some more please 🙏🏽

Wolves over vampires any day! Let me first say I was impressed by fantasticland and how the narrative was delivered. Hoping to see an adaption sometime in the future. My brother noticed you had a werewolf book as well and recommended it to me since I’ve been a fan of the genre since I was a kid. I had been recently let down by a few wolf stories before hand so I was hesitant on grabbing this one. I can assure you, Mike Bockoven does not disappoint with this one. Great story, great world building, and great characters that I actually get excited when they wolf out. The POV from one of em in action had me feeling like I was there with them. I’m hoping you get around to creating another one in this world. So much lore I wanted to explore there. I’ll be waiting

Pleasantly Surprised

I loved Fantastic Land and was unsure about a werewolf story - not easy to make it believable. However, it pulled me in and I was drawn into the characters. It was a great listen.

I loved this book

Less depressing than Fantastic Land but just as engrossing. I wish it wasn't over ... sequel is clearly called for here. ("The Alpha Prime") I even wrote the author begging. Never done that before. This is a truly talented guy. Can't wait for his next.
