by Glen Duncan This started out with a different tone than I usually see in werewolf novels. More of a crime drama or conspiracy story tone as it's established that with the murder of a werewolf in Berlin, the protagonist is the last of his kind and an organisation that hunts down and kills werewo...
Most books that start out being a miserable read will stay that way. This was not one of those books. My relationship with this book began with profound irritation; the writing style was annoying, the characters were unlikeable, and the international espionage-like plot was the polar opposite of the...
With the death of the Berliner, Jake is the last living werewolf. With the next full moon, he will be hunted and he will be killed. He’s actually rather looking forward to it.

I found myself reading over his sentences multiple times to savor their ...
OK, this isn't gonna be the best review, simply cause of my English skills. 1st person narration, film noar(ish) feeling, written like a werewolf's personal confession or a diary as he says. Cliche, boring begging of a book, but soon things go up. Now the stuff your either like or not. I can't see a...
Jake ist der letzte Werwolf. Alle anderen wurden von einer geheimen Organisation (finanziert von der katholischn Kirche und ironischerweise Vampiren) buchstäblich ausgerottet. Mit seinen rund 200 Jahren hat Jake jetzt auch nicht mehr wirklich lust zu leben (emotional tot ist er schon seit Jahrzehnte...
