This book was recommended in a podcast for writers. And my response? Meh.

David Valentine joins the Wolves in their fight against the Kurians, a blood-sucking alien race that has conquered Earth and harvests the remaining humans.

And I'm not gonna waste time by recounting the rest. Usually, I like the dystopian genre, with post-apocalytic survival. I like the remaking of society, what artifacts are repurposed. Usually, it's interesting stuff. Not so much with this one. Very dark and violent. Every little spark of happiness or good that Valentine discovers is ripped to shreds (quite literally). I don't like books like that. There are better plot devices than constant pain and suffering. It wears the reader down when there's no reward.
