Goodreads Synopsis:
Ghouls live among us,
the same as normal people in every way—except their craving for human
flesh. Ken Kaneki is an ordinary college student until a violent
encounter turns him into the first half-human half-ghoul hybrid. Trapped
between two worlds, he must survive Ghoul turf wars, learn more about
Ghoul society and master his new powers.
Kaneki is still trying to get used to his new life when Commission of Counter Ghoul agents Mado and Amon start sniffing around for Hinami. Kaneki and Touka are going to have to get them off her tail and fast. No easy task now that Kaneki’s got to bring humans and Ghouls to a rapid truce at the same time.

Review:
I don’t know how I
feel about this series.
On one hand, I am
enjoying it. It’s dark, and intense, and thoughtful. Ken comes to a realization
in this volume, about him being both human and ghoul, and how he’s the only one
who can show people that neither is all bad, that ghouls aren’t all horrible.
Touka is hard-around-the-edges, but she’s interesting, and on a mission of
maybe-revenge. It’s a very interesting world, and there’s an important battle
in this volume.
But then it’s so
bloody. The bad guy in this volume is horrid, and I don’t feel that bad about
what happens in this volume.
I’m intrigued and
wary. Interested and queasy.
I’ll probably read
a few more, when I get the chance. I want to know more.
