Wolf by Wolf: Blood for Blood
Wolf by Wolf: Blood for Blood | Ryan Graudin
The thrilling conclusion to Ryan Graudin's Carnegie Medal 2017 nominated alternative history and fantasy epic, WOLF BY WOLF. In 1950s Germany, the war may be over, but the fight has just begun . . . There would be blood. Blood for blood. Blood to pay. An entire world of it. With their mission to overthrow the Nazis in danger, Yael and the resistance are ready to fight. Forced to run, life in the shadows for Yael, Luka and Felix isn't easy, especially when their enemy seems to know their every move. And when each step uncovers dark secrets and even darker truths, each must find a way to navigate right and wrong, past and future, life and death, if they are to survive at all. A captivating story of survival, love and freedom in a gripping, fantastical alternate universe from WOLF BY WOLF and THE WALLED CITY author, Ryan Graudin.

In Wolf by Wolf, a young woman with a unique ability is participating in a Germany to Tokyo motorcycle race to complete a specific mission in this 1955 world in which Hitler won and still rules. This follow up starts immediately after the first book and is possibly even more thrilling. Both are griping, interesting, well-written. I look forward to reading more from this author.

This duology is amazing!

This story continues where it ended in Wolf by Wolf. Yael is trying to survive a world where Hitler won. She joined the resistance and her mission is to assassinate Hitler.

This story was packed with action and even itty bitty romance. I loved all the characters and the writing was so good.

On a bus headed to Astoria for the Dark Art Beer Festival. Stout and porter beers for daaaaays. Won the tickets this morning from a Facebook contest.

This series is everything! I love it and am trying to drag it out because I don‘t want it to end.

Update: got a beer and new koozie so changed the pic. 😊

3. Best Sequel You Read

I think this is the only sequel I read that wasn‘t the 3rd in a series. This duology doesn‘t seem to be very well-known, but I thought it was above average YA. The premise is pretty unique and the main character is well-developed.

A thrilling, alt-history YA duology. I enjoyed the second book in this series, which ups the stakes and has a few good twists. Although I found the resolution to be slightly rushed, overall the plot was exciting and the characters engaging. Yael's "strong female character" checked a lot of YA boxes, but (thankfully) didn't sink too far into cliche. Recommend for fans of The Man in the High Castle, Hunger Games, and Red Rising.

Kimberlone @Saknicole you would really like this series! 7y

These books are great. The first one felt more action-adventure (motorcycle race through exotic locations complete with betrayals and hijinks). 'Blood for Blood' felt more like a 'war book/Holocaust story'. Be prepared: it will make you cry. The ending was beautifully written.

Merethebookgal I really enjoyed these books, too. Did you read the prequel novella? 8y

I finished this one last night and fell asleep before I could post a review 😝. I can't recommend these two books enough. It's a mix of alternate history, action, with a touch of sci-fi and it will definitely keep you hooked. Both books have been book club picks, Blood for Blood being our January pick, and I can't wait to discuss! Now to go make breakfast and start this readathon! #24in48

Mehso-so

Ugh. I needed to read this to find out how this duology wrapped up. Note to future writers. There should never be a romance between a death camp survivor and a golden boy of the Third Reich. You can justify and try and delve into the boy's background but it's still too many shades of ick.

IndyHannaJones I liked that part of their relationship. I'm the Granddaughter of a Holocaust survivor. What my Grandma has expressed to me is that there was a lot of gray areas. One of the SS guards in the camp where they held her father would smuggle him cigarettes. I liked that Yael could see the human in him despite the labels of the face of the Aryan race and see a scared boy-just like Yael struggled with her identity and how she longed for people to see her 8y

#DecemberTBR: My goal is to read 10 books this month to reach my goal of 100 books in 2016! I only wrote down 6 on my TBR list because I NEVER actually follow my lists... I read based on my mood so my list changes constantly, but I'm going to try to stick with these 6 and add 4 more based on what I'm feeling 😂#bookwormproblems. #seasonsreadings2016

elkeOriginal Good plan! I too am finding planning a problem 😁 8y
kalinichta I can never follow a list when it comes to books. My reading I'd always based on mood and whim. Which, unfortunately, means I tend to abandon a lot of books. I'm a very messy reader. 8y

!!!!! Best book I have read this year. 500 pages in 36 hours...could have done it faster if I didn't have an 8 to 5! Haha. This book is incredible. Drop what you're reading and tackle the Wolf by Wolf series. Now!!!

Emily.R Yes! Wait until you read the second book. It's just as good 🙂 8y
Merethebookgal I'm really enjoying it so far! If you have an ereader you should pick up Iron to Iron, it's a novella prequel that tells the story of the race that the real Adele and Luka ran the year before and it gives some really interesting insight! 8y
Emily.R And I just realized my comment was for the first book. You are reading the second 🙊 8y
