My Rating ~ 1 bite
DNF @26%

Werewolves and vampires exist and they hate each other. They try to stay out of each other’s way, but the vampires have gotten bolder lately. When Jon the werewolf prevents a vampire from killing someone in his territory he kills her instead. And that pretty much starts a shitstorm.

The blurb sounded great when I came across it, but the execution lacks. I tried so hard to like this, but I couldn’t. Now, I know I got this book a few years ago, so it’s possible it may have been revised so take that into consideration. But this edition, for me, falls flat. The writing is choppy and uneven. The dialogue is painful. The Big Bad is trying too hard to be Hugely Bad & Evil and the werewolves are the picked on white hats who are just trying to live their supernatural life under the radar. I made it to 26% before I realized I don’t care what happens to anyone. And when you don’t care you waste your time. So, I’m moving on.
