When Jackson Rutledge checked his email, the last person he expected to hear from was Sabrina Osterling. As he read her desperate message he realised he had to help her.

Upon approaching their rendezvous he expected to see the repressed figure he remembered, with all evidence of her sexuality carefully hidden. However, he hardly recognised the strawberry blonde figure when he entered the bar they had chosen for the meeting, dressed as she was in a figure-hugging dress. Far from the self-conscious Sabrina he remembered, this was a virtual sex-goddess.

And it seemed her sole intention was to take him to bed...

When they reached her hotel room, Sabrina decided to take a shower and left Jackson sitting alone in the room. Whilst waiting something seemed very wrong about the whole situation, and assuming that this complete reversal in behaviour had more to do with alcohol than with Sabrina herself, he made a rather hasty, but discrete exit.

Needing to sober up a little Jackson headed to the hotel coffee bar when he walked into a rather irritated, aubern-haired, plainly dressed Sabrina.

Having explained what had just happened, Jack and Sabrina return to the "blond-Sabrina"'s room only to find it empty, with no signs of it ever having been inhabited...

The Craving is the third novel by T.K. Sheils to feature Sabrina & Jack, a mismatched couple who were first thrown together in Butterfly House. This story concerns the existance of shape-changing creatures called Wendigos. One such creature has her (its?) attentions firmly set on Jack.

The Craving is a very well written story that drags the reader swiftly into its world of flesh-eating, shape changing monsters. The main characters are well conceived and fully fleshed, remaining at all times completely consistent with their behaviour and mannerisms of previous stories; yet are not one dimensional and continue to grow with their experiences throughout this book.

The supernatural content is handled well, explanations are sufficient without the author ever resorted to over-the-top shock tactics to get his point across.

I found this to be a superb story. Beautifully written and totally rivetting. A definite "one-stting" novel. I look forward eagerly to Jack and Sabrina's next adventure.
