The Last Werewolf (The Last Werewolf 1) (The Last Werewolf Trilogy)

by Glen Duncan

One last full moon - then it will all be over.

Jacob Marlowe has lost the will to live. For two hundred years he has wandered the world, enslaved by his lunatic appetites and tormented by the memory of his first and most monstrous crime. Now, the last of his kind, he knows he cannot go on.

But as Jake counts down to suicide, a violent murder and an extraordinary meeting plunge him straight back into the desperate pursuit of life - and love.

Sexy, smart, bloody and heartbreaking, The Last Werewolf takes literature by the throat.

Reviews

[Michael @ Knowledge Lost]

Glen Duncan’s take on the werewolf mythology, is gritty, violent and over sexed. Jake Marlowe is the last werewolf alive, with the pending extinction of his new race will he give up? The tone and voice Duncan has created is almost perfect, making this an interesting take on the genre. It is nothing like the popular style of werewolves in the paranormal genre, this is dark but too heavy on his libido. It focusing on the conflict within Jake; is he a man or is he a monster and his will to live a life like this or to give up. This book is an existential horror, nicely played out and nothing like YA werewolves. The different forces within Jake Marlowe is what makes this book worth reading, not the sex or violence.
