Wolf by Wolf (Wolf by Wolf, #1)

by Ryan Graudin

From the author of The Walled City comes a fast-paced and innovative novel that will leave you breathless.

Her story begins on a train.

The year is 1956, and the Axis powers of the Third Reich and Imperial Japan rule. To commemorate their Great Victory, they host the Axis Tour: an annual motorcycle race across their conjoined continents. The prize? An audience with the highly reclusive Adolf Hitler at the Victor's ball in Tokyo.

Yael, a former death camp prisoner, has witnessed too much suffering, and the five wolves tattooed on her arm are a constant reminder of the loved ones she lost. The resistance has given Yael one goal: Win the race and kill Hitler. A survivor of painful human experimentation, Yael has the power to skinshift and must complete her mission by impersonating last year's only female racer, Adele Wolfe. This deception becomes more difficult when Felix, Adele's twin brother, and Luka, her former love interest, enter the race and watch Yael's every move.

But as Yael grows closer to the other competitors, can she be as ruthless as she needs to be to avoid discovery and stay true to her mission?

So I got this book on my weekend trip to Groningen and deceided yesterday to make a start with it. I've been wanting to read this one for a while, I was really interested in this alternate piece of history, and I finally bought it...

And... I finished it the same day XD I might have taken a break or two to eat and move from my living room to the bedroom, but apart from that I could not put it down.
It was soooo awesome !! It got to me right away and I just kept on reading. It was very exciting and I kept wanting to continue and continue until I finished it.

I really enjoyed the MC's story, how the story changed from present day to the past, so we learn bit by bit what happened to her and how she became who she is now.

I really loved the race and the plot surrounding the story. Even though the ending was a bit predictable, it kept me interested from beginning to the end. LOVED IT.

4.5 stars, but let's round it up to 5 because it made me read the entire book in one day and that does not happen often to me anymore !
