Book Reviews of Canyons

Book Review: Blah...
Summary: 1 Stars

When I first began reading this book I found myself actually enjoying it and looking forward to what was going to happen further along in the story. The story starts out violently, with the gruesome murder of a young homeless drug addict by a pack of vicious werewolves. I felt like this beginning was powerful and really made you feel like you could expect anything in the storyline to come...and that certainly was true...in a BAD way. I would have really enjoyed this book had it not been for the incest backstory and the child molestations that do not seem to be that big of a deal when they are occuring (except to the shocked reader). I was disgusted, mortified and simply beyond uncomfortable when it was stated that our main character lycanthrope, Lucius, has children with his mother, and that he also has sex with his own daughters. I KNOW that actual wolves and animals in the wild do procreate with there relatives, but for characters with human emotions that can SPEAK-it's unnacceptable. I was sickened by the incest and at the point that it was mentioned I lost ALL interest in the characters and what would happen to them. Also, I am NOT interested in reading about young children being molested. This book was gruesome more so in the sexuality department then the gore. I didn't like it.

Summary of Canyons

Picture this: you're riding the bus home from work, with the very first newspaper article every published under your byline clutched in your hot little hand, when a coked-up idiot attempts to hold up everyone on the bus. He takes a dislike to you and is about to slice you open when a large, gorgeously hairy man attacks him and saves your life. Only your rescuer is not a man, but a giant wolf who leaves a bloody pawprint on your newspaper, all over your precious byline . . .

If you're an intrepid reporter, you don't panic. You run for the newsroom to get a photo of the pawprint before it disappears . . . because the paper you work for thrives on stories of alien invasions and Elvis sightings and Bigfoot's baby, and this, unlike all of those stories, this is real.

Of course, it's not that simple. The highly civilized Denver werewolves don't want anyone to know of their existence, not even beautiful young reporters who make Lucas, the leader of the pack, think lustful thoughts. But Lucas and his pack have a much bigger problem to deal with: there's another were-pack hunting in their territory--and being messy about it. If the police solve any of those brutal, apparently random, murders, Denver's more patrician lycanthropes may wind up in big trouble.
