“Then she opened her
mouth to scream—and recognised me. It was what I’d been waiting for. She froze.
She looked into my eyes. She said, “It’s you.”
Meet Jake. A bit on the elderly side (he turns 201 in
March), but you’d never suspect it. Nonstop sex and exercise will do that for
you—and a diet with lots of animal protein. Jake is a werewolf, and after the
unfortunate and violent death of his one contemporary, he is now the last of
his species. Although he is physically healthy, Jake is deeply distraught and
lonely.
Jake’s depression has carried him to the point where he is
actually contemplating suicide—even if it means terminating a legend thousands of
years old. It would seem to be easy enough for him to end everything. But for
very different reasons there are two dangerous groups pursuing him who will
stop at nothing to keep him alive.
Here is a powerful, definitive new version of the werewolf
legend—mesmerising and incredibly sexy. In Jake, Glen Duncan has given us a
werewolf for the twenty-first century—a man whose deeds can only be described
as monstrous but who is in some magical way deeply human.
One of the most original, audacious, and terrifying novels
in years.”
Review: 3 out of 5
stars
The story is told from Jake Marlow’s perspective as he
writes in his diary. He’s just found out
that he is the last of his kind and after being alive for 200 years, he can’t
see much sense in continuing to live. Unfortunately
there are at least two groups who want to keep him alive for their own purposes,
and will do anything to make that happen.
The book is well written, and although the story is at times
is graphic in both the sex scenes and the killing, it is a werewolf and that’s
what they do. Kill, Eat, and Have Sex
(although that is not the term used). As
the reader you like Jake Marlow, and his dry sarcastic wit. You want him to come out on top.
This is a werewolves for adults story.
