Description To Books The Anxiety of Kalix the Werewolf (Kalix MacRinnalch #3)
Now eighteen, Scottish teenage werewolf Kalix MacRinnalch is settling in London, though she still struggles with anxiety, depression, and self-abuse. Her new friends support her � and all is fine until the Guild of Werewolf Hunters start picking off her clan, one by one.Most of the Scottish Werewolf Clan have a very low opinion of Kalix Macrinnalch, youngest daughter of the Thane. There is little sympathy for her illiteracy, her substance abuse, her self-harming, her eating disorder, her anxiety and depression and her propensity for extreme violence. Safe from her clan in London, and living with two friendly students, she's been much calmer. If only she were allowed to live quietly, she might get on top of her problems.
Unfortunately, that's difficult for the young werewolf. She's still the number one target for the werewolf hunters, and they're stepping up their efforts to find her. And no matter how Kalix tries to make her life more normal, there will always come a time when, under threat, her insanity and battle-madness will descend on her, and the skinny young girl will again transform into the most feared and ferocious werewolf in the country.

Quite enjoyed reading this one, even without remembering a whole lot about the previous two...fortunately there was enough backstory here to refresh me as to the major relationships and happenings of those ones without making me feel like I should have reread them first. Feeling a little conflicted about the title and the loose-ends ending though, since I didnt think Kalix actually got nearly as much screen time (so to speak) as her flat mates, the fire elementals and the rest of the clan, andAh, the third part of this silly, silly werewolf/teenage drama/fashion/what else drama series. It is so over the top that it is funny. And the characters are so over the top that I somehow relate to them (probably not a good sign, is it...).Very much a "no brain needed, just enjoy the ride" kind of a book. And with all this effin' goo in my head it was also exactly what I needed. It is also a book I am sort of ashamed of reading, but then keep telling myself that it is okay to read utter
A great new instalment to the series. Lots of humour, and good characterisation make this a real page turner.
This is the third part in the story about Kalix MacRinnalch. I was a little bit nervous when I started to read it, but soon found myself enjoining it immensely.Though it never made me laugh out loud, I did really like it and it was easy to read and never was any boring. It didn't have any boring bits that I found difficult to get past, but it was all very fast read. I really like how the author make such complex characters. When you get to the third book, you expect to know the main characters
Brilliant- Just like the previous installments in the series. This is probably the most consistent series I have ever read and one of the weirdest.
I've enjoyed the stories of Kalix the Werewolf and the MacRinnalch werewolf clan, but honestly it gets a little repetitive and even as the characters get fleshed out, they still feel more like caricatures at times. Kalix is emotionally disturbed - possibly due to having been born on a full moon, in her werewolf form - and suffers from severe social anxiety. Her clansmen hate her, her sister Thrix especially. Beauty and Delicious are drunk and immature. Vex the fire elemental is even more so.
I'm a little sad to be finished with Kalix's saga for the moment. Urban Scottish werewolves and Fire Elementals have been my second home for three books. Now faced with the dilemma of which one of the volumes on my teeteringly tall TBR pile to tackle next. Each is a portalmto another world. Which shall I enter?
