I'm a fan of Spencer and werewolfs, vampires and such so I enjoyed this one. I haven't checked but surely this will become a series if it isn't already. Feral child who adopts fairly well to civilization and becomes a hunter of lost people, mostly children but has not idea of his own beginnings. The love interest is believable as are most of the characters so give it a try.

I started reading all of Wen Spencer's books after reading "Tinker" and I think I like this series even better than the Tinker series. Spencer's plots always seem very well thought out and I usually feel satisfied by the time I get to the end of the book. Her characters are very compelling as well - she always has an intruiging backstory, and this is no exception. Ukiah Oregon is a tracker who works with a private investigator, and he is an ununsual young man in that he was found in the middle of the forest eating a rabbit - he was raised by wolves (!!) and has uncanny abilities at tracking and a photographic memory. He has a young innocence which contrasts with his superior abilities. This story starts out with Ukiah tracking a possible kidnap victim but soon Ukiah gets tangled up in something much bigger which also involves his past and where he came from. I want to go on about Spencer's original ideas but I think its more fun to read the book and find out for yourself. I really enjoyed this one.

I loved this book and the one that follows,Tainted Trail. Starts off simple and gets complicated (and interesting) fast. Read it in one sitting.
This book was excellent!
Ukiah Oregon is a lovely blend of dangerous animal and charming innocent. This novel of discovery is full of interesting plot details and very cool characters.
I've only read one other book by Wen Spencer, but I can tell you now that I'll be reading ALL the rest.
