Claudette's Review
Jan Xu is a werewolf, as is almost everyone else in her family. I love that though she’s married and has children this doesn’t hinder her from being a butt kicking protagonist. Her sister Marianne and she haven’t been close since Marianne failed at puberty to gain the ability to become a wolf. When Marianne returns home to Singapore, after years away from her family, she brings her new boyfriend Steve. Though Steve is also a werewolf, he very clearly has a hidden agenda. Only Jan seems to be aware that he is a threat however. Soon Jan’s world is rocked by mishaps that are befalling everyone she cares about.
This is a story with sibling rivalry at its heart. At times the narrative was disjointed, abruptly mentioning events from the past and introducing new characters without any obvious context or introduction; as though the reader knows exactly who they are. The rich detail and originality of both the setting, culture and story, more than make up for that. I found this novel to be fascinating, gripping and thoroughly enjoyable. A werewolf fantasy with a difference.
