Would not classify as ya reading. Based on the content anyway. Kinda split on it since the story revolves around teens, but has more F bombs than an eminem song. 
 Even given the low star rating this is not a bad book. I was kicking around the idea of a 3 star rating and then the author had to pull the relationship drama card. The "I love you" and then "I don't". 
 That aside, other reasons I could not rate any higher. Book revolves around boxing. Started interesting, but got old. It was also predictable. Loup was weak a lead character. Stiff. Like cyborg stiff. 
 I do have to say this is my first Jacqueline Carey book & the writing was exceptional. I just wished the story had caught my attention more than just the way it was written.
