 BLURB: Werebear shifter Annette Garsea is a caseworker for the Interspecies Placement Agency. When a selectively mute and freakishly strong teen werewolf is put in her custody, Annette has to uncover the young girl's secrets if she's to have any hopes of helping her. And not even the growling of a scruffy private investigator can distract her from her mission... Bear shifter David Auberon appreciates Annette's work with at-risk teen shifters, but he's not sure if her latest charge is so much a vulnerable teen as a predator who should be locked up. All that changes when he, Annette, and her motley band of juveniles find themselves dodging multiple murder attempts and uncovering a trafficking cartel that doesn't just threaten the kids, but risks discovery of the shifters by the wider world of homo sapiens.

My rating: 3.7 don't-mess-with-my-cubs stars


Han pasado años desde que leí algo de MJ Davidson, y este libro me sorprendió en el buen sentido.

El escenario es un mundo donde los cambiaformas coexisten con los humanos, pero es un mundo secreto y subterráneo. Y viven con miedo de que pronto esto deje de ser secreto.

My rating: 2 stars b/c made me snooze.


Art - 3.5
Story - what story?

Good art, but Gag Manga is not for me.

A feared Yakuza turned househusband that takes day-to-day chores very serious. The way the people acts with his so-called fierce facade and way to do things is supposedly funny.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Este es el manga del libro de Darren Shan. En su tiempo, me leí la saga de un tirón, y me fastidió ese final de la saga la verdad. Luego, ni hablar de la película. Ahora por un reto vi este titulo y bueno, le di una oportunidad aunque del libro al manga tampoco es que me gusten mucho las adaptaciones.
