Jake Marlowe is the last werewolf. Now just over 200 years old, Jake has an insatiable appreciation for good scotch, books, and the pleasures of the flesh, with a voracious libido and a hunger for meat that drives him crazy each full moon. Although he is physically healthy, Jake has slipped into a deep existential crisis, considering taking his own life and ending a legend that has lived for thousands of years. But there are two dangerous groups--one new, one ancient--with reasons of their own for wanting Jake very much alive.
It took me a couple of tries to start this book, but once I did I loved it. I love the language. It is beautifully written, deftly plotted and extremely compelling....also a bit gory and sexy in an ick sort of way, (having sex with your new werewolf lover while lying in the remains of your victim).
