The Last Werewolf Audiobook, by Glen Duncan
By Blood We Live Audiobook, by Glen Duncan

Publisher Description

When I change I change fast. The moon drags the whatever-it-is up from the earth and it goes through me with crazy wriggling impatience . . . I’m twisted, torn, churned, throttled—then rushed through a blind chicane into ludicrous power . . . A heel settles. A last canine hurries through. A shoulder blade pops. The woman is a werewolf.   The woman is Talulla Demetriou. She’s grieving for her werewolf lover, Jake, whose violent death has left her alone with her own sublime monstrousness. On the run, pursued by the hunters of WOCOP (World Organisation for the Control of Occult Phenomena), she must find a place to give birth to Jake’s child in secret.             The birth, under a full moon at a remote Alaska lodge, leaves Talulla ravaged, but with her infant son in her arms she believes the worst is over—until the windows crash in, and she discovers that the worst has only just begun . . .             What follows throws Talulla into a race against time to save both herself and her child as she faces down the new, psychotic leader of WOCOP, a cabal of blood-drinking religious fanatics, and (rumor has it) the oldest living vampire. Harnessing the same audacious imagination and dark humor, the same depths of horror and sympathy, the same full-tilt narrative energy with which he crafted his acclaimed novel The Last Werewolf, Glen Duncan now gives us a heroine like no other, the definitive twenty-first-century female of the species.

"It's so funny to me, but just like the first book - The Last Werewolf - I found the language a bit crass and vulgar for my taste, yet I couldn't put the book down. It's a deliciously fantastic book! A must read for anyone remotely interested in this genre."

— Kristen (4 out of 5 stars)

Quotes

  • “Duncan delivers with intelligent humanity a monster we want to track and befriend, even knowing she would happily eat us alive.”

    — New York Times Book Review

  • “As well as being thought-provoking, it’s all great fun.”

    — Guardian

  • “Irresistible.”

    — Dallas Morning News

  • “A lusty, visceral, bloody tale told in capable, muscular prose.”

    — Cleveland Plain Dealer

  • “A bone-crunchingly, page-plungingly good book (necessary reading just for the language) that limns the primal darkness within us but is ultimately about love…Highly recommended.”

    " Guess the man has to eat. A good read, but a poor sequel to his wonderful "The Last Werewolf". But the man is like Stephen King, even when he is not at his best, one can find literary gems here and there. "

    " Started reading it, but was turned off by the constant use of the phrase, "dirty, filthy, bad girl." Thought it was a bit degrading and seemed to not be relevant to what was actually going on in the story. Between that and the slow draw into the story, I decided to read something else instead. "

    " Didn't think a sequel could be as good as the original, but man was I wrong! What a gift ... so enjoyed the whole thing I couldn't put it down. And love, love, love Ms. Talulla and her twins. Third in the series (hope, hope) should be just as good. "

    " A good book that kept me turning pages. Didn't quite have the same energy or thematic loneliness that made its predecessor so great. "

    " Loved it! I love this series and how raw and gritty it is. Talulla is a strong female character, discovering how much she can truly handle. So glad there is a werewolf series well written and worth reading. Finally! "

    " This is the sequel to The Last Werewolf, which I gave only two stars. Tallula Rising had a more likable protagonist and I enjoyed Glen Duncan's style of writing, though at times the graphic descriptions of violence and torture were off-putting. "

    " Much better than the first one. Much MUCH better than the first one. I would go so far as to say I enjoyed this one. "

    " I didn't even realize there were going to be more books! I was happily surprised when I stumbled across volume 2. It wasn't quite as good as the first one, but I still couldn't put it down and now I anxiously await the third volume. "

  • Overall Performance: 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5

    " Entertaining, but not nearly as good as The Last Werewolf. No depth, no intellectual philosophical quandaries, no great sex. Fast moving and easy read. "

  • Overall Performance: 2 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 5

    " As much as I found myself wanting a sequel to the Last Werewolf ... this wasn't what I was envisioning. The story itself is okay, but I found it frustratingly cluttered sometimes. "

    " it's a good read but just doesn't engage the way "the last werewolf" did. the plot was too convoluted. "
