The Wolf in Me: Survive by Alex Smith

The 23rd century is nearing its end. Having been treated as subhuman (and worse) for over 300 years, the Wolves - a race of wolf-human hybrids - have reached their breaking point. With a clear threat of war rising daily, the US Military devises a plan to destroy the beasts they helped create. However, utilizing their intelligence and raw bestial instincts, the Wolves hatch a plan of their own: plunge the entire world into a war to end all wars! In the aftermath of a deadly airship crash, Percy - a six-year-old human boy - finds himself behind enemy lines; in the claws of the creatures he's been taught to fear his entire life. Xander - a twenty-eight-year-old elite black ops Wolf, finds himself with a very difficult choice to make; kill the innocent child he has found, or be ostracized by his own kind and protect the boy? What is a small, frail, boy to do when surrounded by beasts fighting to end his very existence? Survive!

The opening is very strong, and the world the author builds is clear, engaging, and contributes to the story. The characters were all believable. The ending could have been a bit smoother. Despite this, I am excited to read the next book.

It’s incredibly refreshing to have a story from the perspective of werewolves treated as more than just monsters. Wolf in Me explores the usually unseen side of the minority group and their fight to survive while dealing with complex moral quandaries. Great work, ready for more!
