Fellow orphans, amateur vigilantes, and members of the Santitos, Loup Garron-the fugitive daughter of a genetically engineered "wolf man"-and Pilar Ecchevarria grew up in the military zone of Outpost 12, formerly known as Santa Olivia. But now they're free, and they want to help the rest of the Santitos escape. During a series of escapades, they discover that Miguel, Loup's former sparring partner and reprobate surrogate brother, has escaped from Outpost 12 and is testifying on behalf of its forgotten citizens-at least until he disappears from protective custody. Honor drives Loup to rescue Miguel, even though entering the U.S could mean losing her liberty. Pilar vows to help her. It will take a daring and absurd caper to extricate Miguel from the mess he's created but Loup is prepared to risk everything... and this time she has help.

Loup is a GMO, a genetically modified human. She's one of a kind because she's a human hybrid through her mother. In this second installment, and probably final chapter in this set, I was blown away. Ms. Carey is a wonderful story teller. Her talent to build complex characters who are strong yet...
I took a long time with this one, because honestly, I was a little bit bored with it. I really enjoyed Santa Olivia, but with this one, there hardly seemed to be any conflict at all. Pilar and Loup got along wonderfully, absolutely, completely over the conflict they had in the previous book, complet...
On the one hand it's kinda nice to see characters I liked to be happy, and the writing is reasonably good, on the other hand nothing much really happened beyond main characters having fun, saving the day without much difficulties and being worshipped, and recaps of plot points from the previous book...
