About this listen
Kallix, a morose, laudanum-addicted, unschooled, slightly anorexic werewolf is still on the run. The youngest daughter of the Thane of the MacRinnalch Clan of werewolves, held responsible unfairly for the death of the Thane, and justifiably responsible for the deaths of a great many other werewolves, remains prohibited from returning to Scotland in order to maintain the uneasy peace that temporarily prevails in court, despite the endemic debauchery and degeneracy always threatening to again spiral out of control. Frankly, things aren't much better for her in London than in Scotland. The love of her life is in hiding and her enemies increase in number by the day. Strong as she is when enraged, it's becoming ever more dangerous to be her. Daniel and Moonglow, her two human friends, do what they can to keep her hidden in plain sight (who would look for a werewolf in a remedial program for high school dropouts?) and keep her fed. Millar is a true world-creator, populating Curse of the Wolf Girl with a universe of characters: Fashion-designing werewolves, cross-dressing werewolves, and neurotic, psychotic, and erotic werewolves, as well as fairies, Fire Elementals, and good ole humans whipping them in faster and faster revolutions with his thrilling, vertiginous rollercoaster narrative.

Brilliant story, wrong choice of narrator
Sadly this brilliant story is let down by the choice of narrator. It should have been someone with a soft Scottish accent. Also the intonation was all wrong and there were funny pauses in the sentences. I stopped listening after an hour and read it instead. A real shame.

Good book but not showcased well
Agree with reviewers above. Firstly it isn't the first book in the series (why??), secondly the narration was poor for this story (sorry to the narrator but it doesn't work for this story - the nuances are off/feels a bit by rote or like a textbook narration. It would have done better with a Scottish narrator and different pacing. I've heard clips of her do other books and it's much better - think this was just not a great choice for this book). I couldn't get through it but haven't returned it as I love this author and would like him to get maximum ££.
Again agree with the reviewer above - would LOVE to see some Thraxas books please (written under his pseudonym) - but please pick a narrator who suits the jaded character and pulp-noir/black comedy tones.

book for a rainy day
Where does Curse of the Wolf Girl rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Top, becaue there are no other Martin Millar books in audible so far.
What other book might you compare Curse of the Wolf Girl to, and why?
Every Martin Milar book is amazing - makes you feel good, so they are books for a rainy day, indeed.
Which character – as performed by Kat Rose-Martin – was your favourite?
No particular character stood out, everything was great.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I wanted it to last as long as possible, so I listened to it in very small doses.
Any additional comments?
Please get more Martin Millar books to audible, and while at it, get his other book series Thraxas which he publishes as Martin Scott, as well.

Great book...but 2nd in series b4 u buy it!
If you could sum up Curse of the Wolf Girl in three words, what would they be?
Quirky, hilarious, amazing
Who was your favorite character and why?
I love Moonglow as she's so positive and supportive and long suffering!
Did Kat Rose-Martin do a good job differentiating each of the characters? How?
Um, slightly odd reading...not quite comfortable to listen too but you get used to it after a while. Quite good at all the accents but with so many Scottish accents some of them do drift into Irish and geordie a bit!
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I've always loved this series of books and this is my favourite. So funny and involving, you really feel for the characters.
Any additional comments?
Wonderful story! I've been waiting for this seris for ages...not sure why audible released the 2nd nook of 3 1st???????? Will make my day when books 1 and 3 are finally available!

Disappointing reading
Love Martin Millar but sadly this reading did him no justice. At 60+ I may have chosen the wrong book as it all felt a little adolescent. Although have enjoyed many others written for a young age group.
