About this listen

 Loup Garron was born and raised in Santa Olivia, an isolated, disenfranchised town next to a U.S. military base inside a demilitarized buffer zone between Texas and Mexico. A fugitive "Wolf-Man" who had a love affair with a local woman, Loup's father was one of a group of men genetically manipulated and used by the U.S. government as a weapon. The "Wolf-Men" were engineered to have superhuman strength, speed, sensory capability, stamina, and a total lack of fear, and Loup, named for and sharing her father's wolf-like qualities, is marked as an outsider.©2009 Jacqueline Carey (P)2009 Tantor Fantasy Fiction Paranormal Wolf

To be fair, I didn't finish the book but I could get passed the overly descriptive beginning and the outrageous decisions the main character makes. It gave me the impression the author wanted to demonstrate how the hardship of their setting motivated certain decisions but because neither the characters or the setting was well develop it left one perplexed and skeptical about it. It won't involve you, put it that way

Didn't like it
