Predator & Prey: Werewolf

Predator & Prey: Werewolf was a decent story, about a Metis werewolf and a newly awakened hunter. While the plot was a little thin, the way in which both characters come to terms with their differences and in the end rely on each other to overcome the odds makes for a good story. However, it did end rather abruptly, which is a course do to the fact that there was to be a sequal. I would recommend this book to anyone who wishes to see a hunter through the eyes of a werewolf and a werewolf through the eyes of a hunter.

This is a great book if you're a Werewolf gamer, and even if not. The inside on werewolf tribal life is really great and can be a lot of help to anyone who needs to get a first hand on how the pecking order of the clan goes. It's also a great story, the characters draw you in with things you can relate to if you were in their situation, and the details are brutal but real life. (well real life to werewolf) But any Werewolf fan should read this, it's well worth the time.

This is only the second Predator and Prey novel I've actually read (first, if you count the fact that I quit reading Vampire part way through), so I don't know how much it connects with the others, but the impression I got was that it had little or nothing to do with any that came before.The two main characters are Black Rindle and Kaitlin. Suprisingly enough, these two characters are excellently developed throughout the book.Kaitlin is a Hunter, though the book never specifically mentions it. She is cursed with a second sight that allows her to see various denizens of the supernatural world. It is partly this curse, and the fact that she has had personal experience with the monsters that live in the HUMAN world, that cause her to desert the city for a run-down home in a small town. There, she smokes pot to keep from thinking about the people she left behind, only eats when she can muster up the energy to hike into town for some mac-and-cheese, and generally wallows in isolation. She is a former alcoholic, and keeps a case of beer in the fridge as a testament to her triumph over that habit.Black Rindle is a Garou (werewolf) who is outcast from his own people. He is a metis, deformed offspring of the forbidden mating of Garou with Garou. According to Garou law, such breeding is somewhat akin to incest. Hunchbacked and depressed, he spends most of his days in the bottom of a bottle. Rindle's mother is dying, the only Garou who ever accepted him. His father and septmates constantly insult, and sometimes brutalize, him.That's all the intro I'll give here, but the book deals with these two characters and their relationship to one another (for a wonder, they don't even end up in bed, which was a positive in my mind) as well as their relationships to their separate worlds. I would reccommend this book to anyone who likes Werewolf: The Apocalypse. I found it suprisingly good, very well written, with some great character development along the way. There are some interesting happenings in the spirit world, and there are even actual Hunters in the book (though, like Kaitlin, they are never specifically named). I would expect that fans won't be disappointed.
