Remember the otaku guy in the first book. Well he's the bad-ass wolf in this one. Too many blood, gore and sword fighting to satisfy the male readers while the drama and the violent/romance banter between the leads would satisfy any of the female readers. 
 Truth to be told, I was nearly glassy-eyed when there's to much geek term in some of the chapters. Specifically weapon topics. Gosh... this is the work of the writer's husband no doubt. It simply ooze written by top gun fanatics on it.
