When is The Last Werewolf not the last werewolf? Reading the Sequel, Talulla Rising by Glen Duncan

Turn-Offs

So, the last werewolf wasn’t the last one by far! In fact, there was a group of werewolves, just waiting to be discovered. Then there were the new ones that Talulla kept making and they arrived at exactly the right moment. One of the things that turned me off about this book.

The cliffhanger at the end seemed unnecessary. For me, the story was complete, so why complicate it with the real Remshi’s appearance?

Turn-Ons

What I liked was that the author did not shy away from violence, gore, and the other big taboo, sex while in werewolf form!

I love the covers on all the books in the series.

I wasn’t a fan of Talulla because her inner monologues were just as irritating as I found Dani’s (Fever series by Karen Marie Moning) to be! Well, okay not that irritating but they did annoy me a lot. She may not have been likeable, however, I appreciated that she didn’t try justifying or apologize for who she was.

Some Favorite Quotes
