Hunger Makes the Wolf (The Ghost Wolves) par Alex Wells

Bikers in space. Union revolution on a mining planet. Witches with planetary powers. Hard-bitten heroine with a heart of gold... no actual wolves.

I think it's a space opera, and it's full of grit. I liked it, I'm not sure I want to look for the sequel yet because it was a bit of a commitment to read, and i have a strong suspicion that some of the characters I like are going to perish. Merde.

Hunger Makes the Wolf (The Ghost Wolves) par Alex Wells

Gritty and funny and weird with really fantastic characters and fascinating world building. Will definitely read more of the series, and I recommend it if you've read/liked the short story And You Shall Know Her by the Trail of Dead by Brooke Bolander. Also if you're a fan of Gideon the Ninth, I think you'd like Hob a lot.

Blood Binds the Pack (The Ghost Wolves) par Alex Wells

I love this series. I read this on the treadmill and it was perfect for losing track of time. The characters are fantastic, and the winding way the plot spills out from their different perspectives was really satisfying. It's bloody and suspenseful, and the countdown worked super well as a framing device, while still letting moments of love and family shine through the gritty bits. UGH. It is so my jam. I would read a zillion more books in this series/by this author.

Blood Binds the Pack par Alex Wells

While still solid, the flow of this sequel just didn't pull me through. Also, my next-to-least favorite conflict is people against the company. Too close to real life these days, except the people aren't fighting. The setting was unpleasant but well invoked and the character remained the strength of the story.
