Pack Dynamics by Julie Frost

cwebb's review

4.0

Nano-Tech und Werwölfe - dazu noch Killerbunnies. Perfekt, so mag ich das. Mehr musste ich nicht lesen und schon war das Buch bestellt. Und es enttäuscht nicht.
Es startet etwas langsamer, aber ist dann nach wenigen Seiten angekommen in einer packenden Story, die mit hoher Geschwindigkeit voranschreitet.

Julie Frosts erstes Buch macht Spass, was will man mehr? Es bleiben noch einige Fäden der Handlung ein wenig offen, und ich bezweifle, dass die Prämisse Werwölfe und Nanotech in dem Setting noch mehr Bücher zulässt. Andere Bücher von Frost würde ich aber durchaus anschauen...

reanne's review

I'm DNFing this one at about 43% because too many of the plot points rely on supposedly intelligent and safety-conscious people making really stupid decisions. I also thought that the main couple's relationship basically being built entirely on him being damaged and her wanting to fix him was not really healthy.

Which is unfortunate, because the pacing was good, the writing was engaging, the characters were fairly likable (most of the time), there were exciting action scenes sprinkled throughout, and the world had some interesting fantasy elements going on (like vampire-werewolf-bunnies).

But I just can't deal with a plot that hinges (repeatedly) on the good guys making blatantly dumbass decisions.
