In a world where lycanthropy is the norm those born without the ability to transform at the full moon are referred to by the derogatory term bareback and are automatically drafted into DORLA-a government department with roots in the Inquisition, which keeps society running smoothly on nights of the full moon.
This is the story of one such woman, a public defender, assigned to defend the man who mutilated a friend of hers while he was in wolf form. When that friend is murdered, her hunt for the killer turns her world upside down.
This story is so tightly interwoven that it is difficult to say more without spoilers, so I’ll leave my summary there.
A good tightly written crime novel with twists and turns I didn’t see coming. Details of the world and how it works are woven throughout the story seamlessly so at no point did the world building stand out for what it was. Much of the story had a dour tone that could have put me off, but instead felt like the right voice for the narrator.
This story offers truly unique perspective that I found at once challenging and fascinating-Lynn
