The Last Werewolf

Author: Glen Duncan

Synopsis:
Jacob is a 200 year old werewolf and the last one of his kind thanks to an organization, WALCOF, who specializes in the hunting of supernatural creatures and a lead hunter with revenge on his mind. Jacob doesn't care that he's the last. He's tired and wants to end all the trouble. Just has he's prepared to have one last tangle with his nemesis and end it all, he discovers a female werewolf. Suddenly his outlook changes as they gravitate towards each other and he has a reason to live. Love. Now with a splinter cell organization, the orignal orginization, and vampires after them the couple must fight for their existence.

My Take:
I really enjoyed this original tale about werewolves. It's strangely sexy, vividly disgusting, humorous, and even manages pulls at the ole heartstrings. And I never really new were the story was heading as it kept me guessing to the end.
Written in first person through journal enteries. This is a smart and unique take on the werewolf lore.

Rating: So Good (but very close to an instant classic)
