review 1: This is the first volume in what will be a longer series, but doesn't drop you off a cliff. The ending made me smile--and anticipate the next.It takes its time setting up the characters and situation. All characters are complicated, especially the main two. Both have serious emotional damage as a cost of becoming supremely badass. We begin in Afghanistan with DJ Torres having to turn his best Marine buddy into a werewolf to save his life, in spite of the extreme danger of so doing. Their helicopter has just crashed, and they are waiting to be medivac lifted out.DJ is put under, and wakes up in a lab. He finds out very soon that it is a secret lab, and he runs . . . and nearly dies. Echo, the emotionally distant, hyper efficient assassin, is sent to bring him back, and she ... moredoes.The evil lab holds them both by their loyalties to others, and DJ has terrible trouble adjusting; then he meets a very messed up bunch of made-wolves, and mayhem ensues.Silver took the time to give personality and reasonable human motives to the ordinary workers at the lab, which steps the novel to another level for me. The subsidiary characters are not mere human-figures in a video game, meant to be blown away without thought by the rampaging heroes. Every action has consequences, which for me rachets up the stakes for what is going to happen next. I can hardly wait.
review 2: I had found myself intrigued by DJ when reading Laura's Wolf so I was so excited to read Prisoner.Wow. Just......wow. I do not recall the last time I was so emotionally invested in 2 characters as I was DJ and Echo. The fact that they were so different, that he was so strong in a non alpha in your face way, that they both had to deal with not being willing to sacrifice people they love to be together. Snappy dialog, real emotion, compelling story, total page turner.My one complain was that when I finished, the next was not waiting on my Kindle already! Consider me hooked by the two books in this series thus far. less
