Coyotes #2
The Coyotes aren't done with our girl Red, and neither is Officer Coffey! When Coffey tracks the teen assassin to her underground hideout with the other Lady Victorias, he comes face to face with these women's real enemy: Coyotes. Like Southwestern werewolves, these beasts pile into the women's sanctuary looking for retribution. In the end, Coffey and Red are left with more questions and a realization that they might need each other.

A very interesting direction this one is going in ...
Still have no idea why the women are wearing Victorian garb or why they're being hunted, but hey, this has my attention at least.

This book appeared on a recommended list for middle school readers. While less offensive than volume 1, it is still quite mature in content.

This is a review of the entire series.
Women and girls are being snatched away by the dozen in the City of Lost Girls, a border town in the desert of Mexico. Shapeshifting wolves are the predators, the girls are their prey. A girl named Red swears vengeance on the wolves after they assault her hometown, slaughtering her family and dragging her big sister off to meet a gruesome end. Officer Frank Coffey begins to suspect his fellow workers of having something to do with the incident, and he teams up with Red and many other outcasted girls who have been victims of the wolves to put up a fight against the creatures. To the surprise of Frank and Red, the officers and rulers of the local towns are all werewolves.
Just like Abiding Perdition by Nick Schley, this is a loose retelling of Red Riding Hood in the form of a gritty revenge fantasy that unfortunately falls flat in almost every way. The art and character designs were actually very well done this time around and the action scenes were decent, but I didn't like anything else about it. The characters were unlikeable, none of them had any depth, development or plausible motivations and we barely get to learn a single thing about any of them. The monsters and villains were equally underdeveloped and had no plausible reasons for doing what they did or how/why they ever got their powers in the first place.
The sloppy pacing doesn't give you the time to care about anyone or anything that's going on. The death scenes feel almost comical because they're built up to be dramatic but the characters are impossible to like so their deaths feel entirely weightless. The lore and mythology had potential to be interesting, but it was only briefly touched upon and felt very anticlimactic in the end. The dialogue was also rather cringy and didn't suit the setting or the tone of the story at all.
The story wanted to tackle a lot of serious issues such as the dark side of immigration, rape culture, sexual predators, border patrol, police brutality and outdated gender stereotypes that continue to harm society, but everything is so rushed, undeveloped and poorly packed together that it just ends up feeling like a jumbled mess of unfinished ideas with no real thought or depth to them.

⭐⭐⭐.8
La historia continua intercalando cosas del pasado con el presente. Conocemos un poco más de los "orígenes" de Duchess aunque sigo sin entender por que se visten así.
Al parecer María ocultaba cosas, me intriga, la historia va lenta pero espero que haya más acción y giros inesperados.

Il fumetto ha la mia attenzione, in virtù soprattutto di piccoli specialini alla fine della narrazione che approfondiscono un singolo personaggio alla volta.
La tensione si alza, Red è scappata e incontro l'Abula, nel posto dove ci sono le bambole di tutte le persone scomparse.

The world building is so interesting and the characters are very diverse. The story is really interesting going to continue this series until they release a new one.

I'm not 100% sure what's going on right now... but I like it.

A great entry into the werewolf genre that stands out because of its inclusion of Spanish culture/language as well as a desert city setting.

3.5. It’s split into two story arcs again. It’s interesting, but I really just want to concentrate on the story in the present.
