I really wanted to like this but it was so difficult; of the unnecessarily bloated cast, the POV characters that know things don’t let any information out, and the POV characters that don’t know anything… keep not knowing anything. The action starts with what seems like a fairly standard case of police brutality, but then it turns out that the young man who was shot was actually a werewolf… except then all the video footage and the official record is doctored to remove evidence of anything supernatural… and then more people begin revealing themselves as monsters, or are outed against their will, igniting pro- and anti- monster sentiment worldwide… but then the monsters themselves seem to be pawns in a complicated battle between even more higher powers, one or more of whom are running some kind of cult? The writing itself is great but the plot is really complicated and poorly communicated; I don’t think I’ll be pursuing the sequel.
