Brittney I dislike writing reviews on books I had a hard time putting it down. Very well written, great characters and I loved the setting! Going to look for more books by this author! Color drained right out of him. Nobody wants Lyon and her six-shooter on their tail, and Kreagar had for months. But then, so had I. Strands of spit hung off his beard, flaring out with every breath. I watched him until I heard the clomping horse hooves, kicking up snow and soil.
Steam rising off hard-ridden flanks. I smiled. Magistrate Lyon and her lieutenants, here to bring in the bad guy. I saw them coming through the trees, Kreagar still stuck and hollering, panicking and pulling on the handle, that blood trail leading them right to his feet. Kreagar heard them hooves, heard them whinnying mares. Shame about the knife. A good knife is hard to come by, about as hard as finding a good person in this damned country.
When your life is your only currency and you got debts to pay, a good knife can make all the difference. Home English Online. She was just seven years old, wandering lost and hungry in the wilderness, when the solitary hunter took her in. But the man Elka thought she knew has been harboring a terrible secret. Gripping and unforgettable. Seventeen-year-old Elka can hardly remember her life before she met Trapper. For a decade now, this gruff man has been like a father to her. The two of them have lived on their own in the middle of nowhere—on the fringes of a decimated society.
Trapper has taught her how to live like an animal, hunting for food and surviving in the stark wilderness. Then one day, Elka sees Trapper's face on a wanted posted in a nearby town and learns that he's a deranged killer.
She flees north in search of her real parents, but it won't be an easy journey. Along the way, Elka encounters dangerous people struggling to get by in this new world—and not only that, but she has the sneaking suspicion that she's being stalked by Trapper.
Worst of all is the nagging feeling, as she confronts her own dark past, that maybe she's just as inhuman as he is. Maybe he taught her too well. The Wolf Road is a haunting story about a feral young girl reckoning with her inner darkness and coming to terms with her own humanity.
It's sort of like if Stephen King wrote The Road. While I questioned some of the author's narrative choices, I was thoroughly captivated by Elka and enjoyed taking this journey with her. Elka is a feral girl-woman raised for most of her life by a man she calls Trapper. They live in the cold reaches of what must be Canada a few years after some global war.
