Wow who new a book about werewolves could be so beautifully heart wrenching!? This novel is very slice of life about a werewolf family and what they have to do day to day to survive, and good god it's devastating. This is my second read from Jones and damn is he good at writing interesting yet so extremely human characters even though some of these characters are part wolf. Another interesting touch is he never gave the main character a name although that did not make him less of an integral part to this story. Overall an amazing novel and I highly recommend if you like werewolves or just a good thriller.
