PLOT: Kalix has seventeen years and is a wild child, a girl wolf. Rich and noble, the last descendant of the ancient dynasty of Scottish werewolves, the MacRinnalch has violated the rules of the family falling in love with Gawain, a young Werewolf of humble origins, and now is hiding, pursued by hired killers, the streets of London. Dressed in rags and skinny anorexia limits, to keep up sips of laudanum which is now official. Sure I always cut out for the bridges with his family, Kalix will unwillingly involved in the struggle for succession to the royal palace of MacRinnalch, surrounded by a series of bizarre characters: his sister, a designer trend with magical powers, cousins, dissolute musicians of the London punk scene, and two young humans, university students, who will take care of her, fascinated from the first moment of this extraordinary creature. Ambitious, romantic and rebellious youth of werewolves Martin Millar move wisely in a modern society, full of conflicts, and just like kids today demonstrate that he understood the absolute value of friendship and solidarity more than anything else.
PERSONAL OPINION: Unfortunately, the plot does not quite understand the contents of the book. Millar has a way of writing fresh and original. Reading a really nice, funny and brilliant. If there's one thing I hate to do is to enter a series of adjectives in a book without frame it and then not saying anything concrete, but in this case it is difficult to frame the story because it is very diverse. Opening the book we find ourselves in a dark and modern London, where werewolves live with humans. A family feud in an ancient royal family wer put in the daily bustle of just two students. All seasoned with a healthy sense of humor and spirits of fire fashion lovers.
