We plunge into the depths right away, and as we go, more and more questions arise and the plot becomes more and more complicated.

That's probably the best feature of this book, and the biggest compliment I can give. Of course nothing could go wrong ( )įull of twists and turns, unexpected developments, the story kept me on the edge of my seat, and the intensity never waned. after a tiring week would be a recipe for disaster (and to be honest, I can't say I completely understood everything myself LOL), but long story short, you got a group of ambitious scientists harnessing something they don't understand to revive the dead from their slumber with memories intact. Now I have the memory of a goldfish so attempting to go into a detailed explanation of the Anubis, ichor, New World Genetics, etc. It wasn't bad per se, but the execution fell short when this story had so much potential and fell short of my expectations. The thrill of the chase had me on the edge of my seat, and coupled with Kirt Graves's narration, I was so sure this would be a homerun! Hot, buff, naked man with temporary memory loss barreling into a house to save his future hubby? Check. Mystique and general 'why are there werewolf-looking creatures out to pulverize me' chaos? Check. And the Anubis is really Luca's wolf to call.At the beginning, I was hooked. If Nox won't listen to reason, Luca will use the Anubis to save them both. In fact, the Anubis might be the only thing strong enough to unite a warring people and protect humanity against the real enemy who wants to enslave it.

He also knows the Anubis isn't the mindless entity they believe it to be, a danger to him, or the world. Luca knows the perception of the Varu is contaminated by the tragedy that decimated their people and separated them from their wolves. But they promise they can protect Luca if Nox will let them cure him of the ichor. And that the Anubis residing inside Nox will consume him and destroy Luca. Nox doesn't want to trust them, then he learns how people called Mah are responsible for the atrocities committed in the Utah Facility. They claim he's a Cana and tell him he's the only one who can bring back their wolves. Then strangers who call themselves Varu come to Luca for help. It was supposed to be over: The Utah Facility discovered, New World Genetics dismantled, and the people hunting Luca, dead.
