A review by tobinlopes
Talulla Rising by Glen Duncan

3.0

In moving from lonely male werewolf to a female with a "cub" this chapter in the story takes lycanthropian tales into a rarely, if ever, seen field of motherly stories with a twist. The twist being torture, blood, dismemberment, sex - including mentioning c--ks and c--ts, and the requisite vampire vs. werewolf throwdown.

Duncan's take on the werewolf is violent, sexual, primal, dualistic, and best of all - good. If he means to deal with themes the way Anne Rice has done he failed. But he does create compelling characters that are worth reading about.

I will be there for the next installment.

I gave it a 7.5/10 on my personal scale.
