Jacob Marlowe, afflicted by the Curse for 200 years, thinks
he is the last of his kind. This is definitely
NOT your warm and fuzzy werewolves of the Twilight series. The werewolves here kill and eat (devour!)
their human victims.
Intermittently written as a journal, Jake inserts “dear
reader” into his life story as someone who leads two simultaneous lives, the
human and the “wulf”.
Hunted by WOCOP (World Organization for the Control of
Occult Phenomenon), the story takes on a kind of Jean Valjean pursuit with a
cast of characters including vampires with their own unique pursuit of Jake.
This novel is a model of duality; elegant subtle descriptive
passages and crude graphic sexual content...the novel is ravishing in all its
iterations.
Dear Reader, be warned; the
plot is mesmerizing and “bloody” horrific.
Knoft, 2011, 293 p.
