A hundred years ago evil scientists spliced human genes with those of animals, creating a genetic mutation passed on through the generations. Hated because of their differences, these Ge-Mi's live on the fringes of society where they scrounge and scrape to get by.
Nevada is half Ge-Mi, and hides that fact behind baggy clothes and by keeping distance between himself and everyone around him. One day his peaceful life is shattered by an explosion and the arrival of a pack of wolves to sniff out the culprit. Wolves have excellent noses and as Alpha, Taylor can sniff out every one of Nevada's secrets- and the harder Nevada tries to resist, the more difficult staying away from Taylor becomes.

My Review: (Thanks to NetGalley)
I liked the idea of the story, what I didn't like was the writing, the characters, or the lack of any real ending.
This was apparently set in a dystopian future, though it was very poorly explained, the only real hints were that the cars fly (?) everything else seemed the same. I don't know what was the situation concerning things like the internet, but it seems unbelievable to me that towns and city's were successfully controlled by individual feudal lords in a 20-something century where global connections were available.
There was no connection between the two main characters, and I don't just mean due to the lack of sex. There was no chemistry, no strong feelings, no anything. This wasn't helped by the fact that the character of Taylor was very badly written, he was initially very unlikable before doing a 180 on behavior throughout the very short time-span of the book which was unbelievable.
I think I'm going to give up on trying Mell Eight books, they always seem to be missing something that makes them likable/readable.
