I usually don't read a 100 plus pages of a book and put the book down. I usually do it a lot sooner, but I really wanted to like this book...but I didn't. I put it down and thought long and hard if I should pick it back up. Nah! Life is too short to read a book that doesn't interests me within the first 100 pages. "zzzzzz" to put it mildly. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

On the surface, this looks like a horror/urban fantasy book. In reality, it's not. It's a noir detective story and owes a lot to Chandler and Spillane. The werewolves lend a different spin on the basic structure, but all the classic elements are there: hard-bitten detective, beautiful women with a dangerous side, conspiracy among the powerful. Good stuff! ( )
