Nothing dreadful, nothing special. Perhaps aimed at a young-adult audience, this seems like pretty standard werewolf fare imo. Longer review up on my blog.

Predators by nature, the Prowlers are all around us. Savage killers on the inside, on the outside, most of the time, they look just like us. Wild Things is the fourth climactic volume in Christopher Golden's series of supernatural thrillers. A series of mysterious deaths leads Jack Dwyer and Molly Hatcher to the fastlanes, rest stops, and all-night diners of a highway in upstate New York. Meanwhile, their friend Bill Cantwell heads to Manhattan in search of his missing niece, who disappeared months ago when trying to build a career in New York's fickle music scene. Back in Boston, Jack's sister, Courtney, is left alone to hold the fort. But Jasmine, a deadly and vengeful enemy, is growing in strength. She barely survived her run-in with them in Boston but has now begun to collect a new pack of fellow predators in New York. When Bill probes the Prowler underground, he finds old friends, secret alliances, and betrayal. His predicament draws Courtney away from safety to try and protect the man she loves. To the north, Jack and Molly uncover the frightening truth -- that with Jasmine to lead them the Prowler pack has grown larger than they could ever have anticipated. With Prowlers all around them they must reach out to all of their allies, dead or alive, if they are to save Bill and Courtney and survive the final cataclysmic confrontation with the killers on their trail.

I am a huge fan of Christopher Golden. OK now that I got that out of the way, I can talk about Prowlers.
This is the 4th and final installment of this series. There was more action, more emotion, and more brutality that the first three volumes. Even though this can still be called a Young Adult title, things get pretty intense and almost reach full tilt horror novel status.
I wish that Golden had continued this series as well as the connected "Jenna Blake" series. The ending here even hints at more to come, but it has been 12 years with no more.
Werewolf fans and YA horror readers will enjoy this book and the rest of the series immensely.

A great conclusion to a great series, my only issue was that it had to end.

Oops... guess I forgot to update with #3 and #4. I'll just update with 4 since they blend together.
Although I was a little sad to see it end, it was mostly a big sigh of relief that I was finally done with the task I had unwittingly taken on when I downloaded all four as a package deal. It wasn't one of his best works, by far, and this doesn't even give that satisfactory of a resolution. The novels themselves maybe could have been condensed into 3 books, especially if there was less ridiculousness about the ghost world.
There's a ghost world... and now we have to kill the prowler THERE! An evil ghost prowler killing all the poor souls! We have no idea how to do this but luckily we meet a girl who's been reincarnated a million times and she has a guardian angel who can help, and none of this will really be explained, just accepted! Okay
Happy to be done with the pseudo blue collar boston ish as well
Bye bye, my series!

If you read the first three...you will read book 4. I don't think I would tell anyone to delve into this series. I like christopher's writing and this story (its werewolves not prowlers) isn't for most.

This book is so judgy compared to the others, and Jack is such a smarmy douche, that I am surprised this is a Christopher Golden book. DNF page 79
