Anthony just got a new job as a dog catcher and maybe a new girlfriend. But his life is about to be changed forever. Anthony is thrust into a world of werewolf gangs and politics where the rules are blurred for everyone. 

The characters in this book were really interesting. This book goes back and forth between different characters which I think is extremely helpful. All of the characters were extremely thought out. Their emotions, thoughts, and actions all felt real to me. I also really enjoyed how each of the werewolves connected with their werewolfness differently. 

The plot of this story would have been very hard to follow if not for the different characters' points of view. However, the plot of the story is really interesting and suspenseful. It was super interesting to see how each of the storylines eventually connected. I honestly think that this could be a very interesting movie if they kept true to the story. 

One interesting thing about this book is that it is not written traditionally and I believe is written in verse. However, I didn't think that it was super distracting and I was able to read it without any issues. I would give this a read.
