In a world of science, magic is an abomination. Magic is an abomination. It spread from the Rift, a great chasm hundreds of miles long that nearly split the southern continent in two. The Rift was a portal, a gateway between their world of science and the mythological world of magic. On the northern continent of Ocker, King Godwin declared that no magical monstrosity would be allowed within their borders. The Royal Inquisitors were formed to investigate reports of mystical occurrences and, should they be found, to destroy them. Inquisitor Simon Whitlock knows his responsibilities all too well. Along with the apothecary, Luthor Strong, they’ve spent two years inquiring into such reports of magical abominations, though they’ve discovered far more charlatans than true magical creatures. When assigned to investigate Haversham and its reports of werewolves, Simon remains unconvinced that the rumors are true. What he discovers in the frozen little hamlet is that the werewolves are far more real than he believed; yet they’re hardly the most dangerous monster in the city.

It was a great read, and one I enjoyed immensely. At this point, it's among the front runners for my favorite book I've read this year. It's not a book that starts off with a bang, dropping you into the flow of the action right away. Instead, it builds slowly, and takes off at about two-thirds of the way in to what I felt was a very satisfying conclusion. As far as genre? It's a mixture of steampunk with a very Victorian feel which reminded me a lot of Sherlock Holmes, in that it's more mystery based.And what can I say about the characters? This is what really made the book for me. Both Simon Whitlock, the Royal Inquisitor and Luthor Strong, his apothecary assistant were both perfectly drawn and I took a liking to them from the very first chapter. There was a great sense of camaraderie between the two, and they made a great team. Some of their dialogue was absolutely brilliant, and had me laughing out loud a number of times. What I thought was a great choice was for both men to have their moment to shine at different points in the action.I'm a self-professed fan of vampires, but in this book, I really liked Mattie and Kidnip both. They weren't the stereotypical werewolves I've seen in other books, movies and TV shows, which was a very refreshing change. This is the first book, and I'm looking forward to book two in the Magic and Machinery series so I can read more about Luthor and Simon.My rating is a well-deserved 5/5 platypires.

The characters could be stronger and a few more plot twists would have been nice. I got the impression this was written for a young adult level. It felt more like the Rangers Apprentice type level which is good. It is a good read but not the best i have read this year. A solid 3 star effort.

Great story that leaves you intrigued, chuckling, and ready for book 2 (and perhaps a Sherlock Holmes movie) By Cali Mel NOTE: I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own and in no way influenced by the author or publisher.“Wolves of the Northern Rift” is a breath of fresh air. I expected this to be along the same lines as most other werewolf novels, full of eternal love and teenage angst…maybe a little different coming from the mind of a male author. So I was very pleasantly surprised to discover this was a much more grown up werewolf book than I have encountered before. Picture: Sherlock Holmes meets Mistborn Trilogy (by Brandon Sanderson).This story feels like you are in 1800s Britain with Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. However it is an imaginary world whose king has a fear of magic and magical beings. The Royal Inquisitors were created to investigate rumors of magical creatures in the land, and if true, destroy those creatures, every last one. Protect the kingdom from magic at all costs is their mission. Royal Inquisitor Simon Whitlock and his friend, scientifically-minded Mr. Strong, head to the arctic tundra to look into rumors of werewolf attacks. Expecting yet another charlatan, they couldn’t know their investigation would take them into battle against a far more terrifying enemy with surprising allies at their side.We all love YA paranormal/science fiction. You do to or you wouldn’t be checking reviews on a book about werewolves. YA unfortunately most often follows the same prescribed MO: teenage forever love, love triangle, teenage drama, teenagers must save the city, the world, the universe because for some reason experienced, mature adults cannot. You know what I’m talking about. That’s where this one was so refreshing. FINALLY, I felt, a paranormal book for grown-ups. No insult intended to books written for a younger audience, but as a grown up sometimes you get tired of books that make you roll your eyes. But you have to read those books to get your paranormal fix, lol!Jon Messenger does a great job fleshing out this story. Lots of mystery involved. Great action scenes that feel like straight out of a movie. Great comedic banter between the leading male characters. Just a hint of romance. And no “drama”. Just an all-around great story that leaves you intrigued, chuckling, and ready for book 2 (and perhaps a Sherlock Holmes movie).
