Description
America's favorite werewolf P.I. is off to Las Vegas. What could go wrong?
Life's good for Johnny Lupul. He has a steady gig and a growing reputation as a guy who gets things done. He's even learning to keep his Lycan side under control—mostly.
But when he's sent to Sin City on a simple retrieval job, things go sideways. He bumps up against a coven of unconventional witches, a psychic pawn broker, and a mysterious enemy with a secret darker and more violent than his own.
Take a bite out of the exciting second book in this gritty urban fantasy noir series.
"Like Jack Reacher with bite."
"Turmel has created a series that's part detective noir, part urban fantasy, with plenty of snarky humor."
A Note From the Publisher
Advance Praise
"Like the cycle of a roulette table, Johnny Lycan and the Vegas Berserker will keep you on edge until the last clatter of the ball. Or until you get to the last page. Kolchak: The Night Stalker and The Dresden Files have nothing on Wayne Turmel." -Storgy Magazine
"Compelling characters, fast-paced action, magic crystals and a berserker. It's Johnny Lupul in Vegas baby! As always, Wayne Turmel has created a compulsively readable action packed story with a unique take on the werewolf mythos. An enjoyable read and I can't wait for the next installment!" -G Clatworthy, author of the Rise of the Dragons series
"Johnny Lycan and the Las Vegas Berserker is a riveting Sin City romp like I've never seen before. Aliens, covens, and magic of all stripes rocket across every page, with the reader (and sometimes Johnny, too) holding on for dear life. Harry Dresden better watch his back-Johnny Lycan is the snarky, shapeshifting badass you've been waiting for." -S.G. Tasz, author of the Dead Mall series
"Get a flashlight, because you'll be reading Johnny Lycan and the Vegas Berserker well into the night. Johnny's world is full of mischief, mayhem, and magic-excuse me, magick-and I can't wait to read more." -Luke Swanson, author of Spectators of War and The Other Hamlet Brother
"The stakes are high-life and death high-as werewolf private detective Johnny Lupul goes to Las Vegas to take custody of a mysterious ancient artifact. It's a full moon, and the fur is about to fly!" -Jill Hand, author of the Trapnell Thrillers, White Oaks and Black Willows
"I loved this book. A rollicking, clever ride with a story so good you forget it's a genre novel. If Jack Reacher was a werewolf, he'd be Johnny Lycan." -John Wing, Jr., comedian and author of A Car to Die For
"Witches, a Werewolf, and a Berserker. Only in Vegas, Baby! Johnny, Shaggy and the gang are back in this page turning, magic-infused thriller of epic proportions. Beware: Johnny Lycan and the Vegas Berserker will cast a spell on you!" -Jean M. Roberts, author of The Heron and The Frowning Madonna
"As usual, Wayne's fast-paced writing style draws you in immediately. Johnny Lupul is in fine form once again as he tries to keep some of Shaggy's darker instincts in check and help those who can't help themselves. If you're hankering for a hairy good time, pick this novel up now!" -Katie Berry, author of the Claw and Abandoned series

Robert L, Reviewer
Well-written, good plotting and character development, plus the whole concept feels as if it's been thoroughly thought out before the first word was typed. This one will be a long-running series, and all the better for that. Bonus features: none of the awful typos, homophobe confusion, and bad grammar that has become all too common in Kindle publications these days; dialogue is crisp, believable, and fits each character like a glove.
If your taste in urban fantasy tends towards Harry Dresden, then this, despite having an intrinsically different, ie a werewolf, protagonist, should push your buttons. I've read the first two in the series, the quality is maintained, and I look forward to the next instalment.
