It's a Bear's Life: That's No Picnic

There’s nothing much more life-changing than a bullet to the neck…

While he contemplates death and the consequences his will bring for his family, Bashir is offered a chance at a new life by the Swedish police officer who finds him in a dark alley of Gothenburg’s infamous north-eastern suburb. Bashir’s new life comes with the surprise that nothing is as he previously believed: magical creatures exist, and preying on the weak are forces far more sinister than the drug dealers he’d contended with before.

But if becoming a part of Sweden’s hidden underworld of shifters weren’t enough, Bashir’s discoveries are upended when he meets Milena: the last Vasa.

As an American, I’ve been taught my whole life that we are a “melting pot” but it seems like many have forgotten that before we melded together, the ingredients were very different, and those differences make us what we are today. Even though this is in Sweden, it is still very relevant to how minorities are often treated in the U.S.

I enjoyed reading about Bashir’s journey and cannot wait to read more. I don’t think I’d ever read a book set in Sweden before or a book with so many, very well done, cultural elements.

★★★★
I’d describe it as a shifter book for people who don’t like shifter books. As a YA book, there are no rippling muscles and sex scenes, but an emphasis on family, trust and overcoming systemic racism. All things which are especially relevant in today’s climate. The storytelling felt fresh and non-confrontational, with a quick pace and a feel-good vibe despite the tough subjects of racism, drug abuse and bigotry. For me it was a fascinating read and an insight into a much bigger story, told in the author’s inimitable style.
