BUT even though the plot revolves around an American football team (two, actually), I still enjoyed this. Afterwards I did find out that Mike Lupica is a veteran sportswriter, so that may have been a tip off. Judging a book 100% on its cover (as I do with most books I read – I prefer to go in “blind”), I didn’t realise that this will be so “sports” heavy. So, with that in mind, I saw that “House of Wolves” is the first book in a new series that he is co-authoring with Mike Lupica. I still find his books (and those he co-authors with others) to be entertaining, unfussy, and pure escapism – taking it into “guilty pleasure” territory. I have lost track of that specific series since, purely because I had a couple of “absent reading” years.

Is it the fact that he seems to mostly collaborate with other authors (and, if rumours are to be believed, even ghost writers), instead of writing books “on his own”? Is it a quality issue or a quantity issue? In the ‘book world’ there seems to be a lot of readers (and maybe authors) who seemingly has got a love/hate (or, if you hang around on Reddit for too long – a hate/hate) relationship with James Patterson.

The dynamics are simple in the Wolf family. “A high-stakes stand-alone thriller, with cut-throat family dynamics in a business empire at its core, and power a struggle that turns deadly.
