And the Wolf Shall Swell by Joni Dee

This thriller felt like a mix of Jason Bourne, James Bond, Man from U.N.C.L.E and Jack Reacher. It was a fast, thrilling ride that will keep you hooked until the last page!

The book is fictional, but felt oh so real. Joni Dee's descriptions and plot lines mirror reality, which thoroughly impressed me. Additionally, the settings were so beautifully described - I felt like I was in London (and I've never been there before). Mixing in the well-written, well developed characters made this book all around fantastic. Joni Dee is someone to watch for the future, because this book rivals the top spy thrillers. 

I really liken it to the new Man from U.N.C.L.E movie - it gave me those epic thriller vibes that had me hooked to that movie. The book was also just long enough that it kept me interested. There wasn't anything I'd remove from the novel, and I wouldn't ask for much more. Somehow, Joni managed to find that perfect medium (for me, anyways). 

This isn't a mind-blowing new genre, it's pretty "typical" when it comes to the thrillers I've read. That being said, Joni has his unique spin on it that made this book feel like it's own entity. If you're looking for some new "spin" on the thriller genre, this book isn't it. If you love spy and thriller novels, this book is perfect for you. 

One element that was "missing" was romance, which some readers might not like. I felt like this book didn't need romance, so Joni did well in that aspect. Almost every thriller or mystery novel I read, there is always some romantic element in there that doesn't need to be. The tension between characters is awesome, but that lack of romance made this book go to a new level for me. Joni didn't need to follow the stereotypical norms of these books, so A+ for Joni!

Overall, for a DEBUT NOVEL (seriously? That doesn't even seem right! This book was so good!) I am blown out of the water. Five out of five stars for sure! Joni Dee needs to write WAAAAY more soon, because his talent is only going to sky rocket with each book he writes.

Five out of five stars!! A definite recommendation from this reviewer!

I received a free copy of this novel from the author in exchange for an honest review.
