A family drama set in a supernatural Apartheid-esque world - certainly an emotional opening! Readers will find familiar elements in the concept of a werewolf pack, a strong female lead fighting against the odds, and the supernatural blending with the regular world. What also emerges, however, are some themes not always characteristic of the fantasy genre - racism, family drama, overturning a social hierarchy intended to protect. An interesting blend sure to please fans of supernatural urban fantasy.
