The Last Werewolf by Glen Duncan

Did not finish book.

Despite how pretentious this was...despite the casual ableist slurs and emphasis on queer men being depicted in a specific way...despite the narrator claiming twice not to be a misogynist...I was actually intrigued by The Last Werewolf. The pretentiousness worked because Jake himself was meant to be so, and I liked both his nihilism and the way even when he was ready to stop living, there was always something that kept him alive. The conflict surrounding him being the last werewolf and wanting to learn his species' origin, the threat of the vampires and WOCOP, these were building up to a compelling narrative...and then the "romance" came in, and I was completely over it. I already knew how this book ended from having looked into it a few years back, but once Tallulah came in and the focus shifted, I knew for sure I wasn't going to be satisfied.
