If animal death particularly bothers you, you may want to pass on this book because there is a fair amount of it throughout.eevee314's review against another edition

A really new take on werewolves.
I wouldn't say it's scary like a horror movie but it's visceral and raw with horror elements.

I didn't care about any of these characters, though, and I thought the ending was stupid.
A star has been given for Libby and Darren's relationship because siblings are everything. A star has been given for the truck-stop, American Gothic, liminal space feeling that Jones crafts in this novel. A star has been awarded for Grace Ellen. A star has been removed for the death of a grizzly bear. Another star has been removed for a lot of the characters being unlovable, albeit realistic.
Total score: 3/5 stars

Sucks because I loved My Heart is a Chainsaw. I'll try another book by this author and hopefully it isn't like Mongrels.
