About this listen
It is the beginning of December and it is cold and grey outside. In the stately flickering hearths of the grand mansion of Nideck Point, oak fires are burning. The Morphenkinder are busy getting ready for the ancient pagan feast of midwinter. Everyone is invited, including some of their own who do not wish them well...
Reuben Golding, the newest of the Morphenkinder, is struggling with his new existence as a Man Wolf, struggling to learn to control his desires and bloodthirsty urges. His pure, luminous girlfriend Laura seems all set to join him in this new way of life, but Reuben is not at all certain he will love her if she becomes as he is.
Beyond the mansion, the forest echoes with howling winds, which carry with them tales of a strange nether world, and of spirits – centuries old – who possess their own fantastical ancient histories and taunt with their dark, magical powers. As preparations for the feast gather pace, destiny continues to hound Reuben, not least in the form of a strange, tormented ghost who appears at the window, unable to speak. But he is not alone: before the festivities are over, choices must be made – choices which will decide the fate of the Morphenkinder for ever.

Good story – very well researched
The metaphors and analogies in this book are poetic. Sympathy for the werewolf and nature are tied together – Rice knows how to weave a good story and bring diverse threads together. This story lacks a main antagonist that runs continually through the story – this is a big departure from the way that she has written before – No big bad guy creating continuous tension – instead it is the story of families and the way that we want the future for our group and our families to be. Which ties in with the theme of Christmas. However, there are lots of little problems that need to be solved– but ultimately it is about a young man coming to terms with life – I want to buy this for my sons- the voice actor did a bloody brilliant job by the way too! And I love this song at the end.

Was unsure at first but ended up loving it
The narrator put me off this in the beginning and I found it really hard to enjoy but as the story progressed I was hooked. I loved the relationships explored between the men and the feeling of the love of family this gave me. The wolf spicy scenes were pretty gross but oh well. That’s Anne Rice, she’ll describe it all unapologetically and I love her for that.
