Hold the Dark by William Giraldi
2.0
The reason I was so excited to read this book was because I deeply loved Busy Monsters. If that is why you're considering this book, don't bother with this one. The only similarity I found between this and Busy Monsters was Giraldi's use of the word "wastrel."
This is a large and totally unfortunate departure for the quick-witted and sly characters and plot of Busy Monsters. I found this book to be overly masculine, a la Cormac McCarthy and just flat. I didn't care about any of the characters, and it was violent without purpose or reason. This was an overall disappointment.
