First of all, I'm a horror fanatic! Give me blood, gore, vampires, you name it and I'm game.Malcolm is basically an orphan of the streets. His older brother sends him out to place bets on underground fights. It's how they survive. Their mother disappeared about 5 years before and Malcolm is hell bent on finding who took her. Milkweed is a fighter. He gets paid to lose. He has taken more beatings than any one human could possibly endure. That's just it though-he's not human. He and Malcolm eventually come up with a plan to fool everyone. Instead of throwing the fight, Malcolm will bet on the underdog [Milkwood]. Malcolm, however, turns out to be a breed of his own.I'm not big on stories about fights, but this was a great read. The storyline dragged a little, but not enough that I lost interest. I would definitely recommend this!
