I've finished "Saints Astray the 2nd book in her Loup Garron series by Jacqueline Carey.
Product Description
Fellow orphans, amateur vigilantes, and members of the Santitos, Loup Garron - the fugitive daughter of a genetically engineered "wolf man"- and Pilar Ecchevarria grew up in the military zone of Outpost 12, formerly known as Santa Olivia. But now they're free, and they want to help the rest of the Santitos escape. During a series of escapades, they discover that Miguel, Loup's former sparring partner and reprobate surrogate brother, has escaped from Outpost 12 and is testifying on behalf of its forgotten citizens-at least until he disappears from protective custody. Honor drives Loup to rescue Miguel, even though entering the U.S could mean losing her liberty. Pilar vows to help her.
It will take a daring and absurd caper to extricate Miguel from the mess he's created but Loup is prepared to risk everything ... and this time she has help.

My Review:
Loup and Pilar have escaped from Outpost and travel to Mexico to spend some time with her relatives from her father's side. Loup is offered a bodyguard job but she will only take it if they allow Pilar to go through training too. They both pass with flying covers and are given jobs at an elite bodyguard service with wealthy clients (ex. fashion designer, Mafia bride, a businessman and a rock group).
Miguel Garza Loup's former sparring partner has also escaped Outpost and has traveled to the US where he is fighting for the people he has left. He is supposed to be in protective custody but vanishes before he can testify. Loup and Pilar decide they must save Miguel even though going to the US is illegal and dangerous. They are also fighting for the GMO's rights.
I really liked this book with it's sweet romantic scenes between Loup and Pilar, exciting action scenes and kick ass heroines and interesting characters.
5/5
