Helpful Score: 2
I agree with most of the reviewers - a lot more about boxing than I thought, and a lot less vigilantism that the back cover suggested. Loup is a fascinating main character, and Carey made her world feel pretty real. I had trouble figuring out how large a "town" Santa Olivia is. Sometimes it felt too small, sometimes it felt like there had to be more going on than the reader was told about.
The story ended abruptly - I was almost afraid about thirty pages from the end that there would just be an untidy cliff-hanger. Luckily, Carey wrapped the story up, but really left me wanting more. I think another few chapters, or a second novel, would give this book the completion it needs. It's NOT fantasy, but it IS paranormal or science fiction, but mostly it feels like a novel with extraordinary events.
