Ooh, Mrs Giggles likes me!

Just found this review of QUEER WOLF by Mrs Giggles. She likes me! Except pacing issues DOG the story. Ha! DOG the story. Get it?

Naomi Clark's Wolf Strap is a mystery story, although the werewolf heroine Ayla's relationship with a human woman, Shannon, is also featured prominently here. Perhaps Ayla's relationship with Shannon and various peripheral characters are too prominently featured, as the mystery is resolved in a rushed and unsatisfying manner toward the end. Were this a longer story, I suspect that I'd enjoy this one more. The heroine seems like a typical brusque and cynical urban heroine at the surface, but she's a little more complicated than that actually. I like this one just fine - it is, in fact, one of my three favorite stories here - but pacing issues dog it a little.
