Great story
I'm looking forward reading the next book in the series. I read this book in two days. It was hard to put down. The reason I gave it four stars, is that a perspective kept changing from one character to the next so much. I listened to this book, so, often, when the perspective changed, I missed the change. Half of the time, I didn't know who was speaking.
To the author: I recommend putting symbols before and after the name of the person speaking in each chapter. That way, when listening to the book, the name stands out.
I recommend this book for anyone. It's clean and very interesting.
Interesting
Although the storyline was very interesting I became confused several times in regards to Shifters nd their counterparts. I look forward to reading the next book in the series. I am a 68 year old grandmother with a penchant for the unusual in my desire to read. Personally I feel this is probably written for the young adults out there.
Both pros and cons here
I'm going to skip my typical synopsis style review, and just get into the rating. Let me start by saying that the authors are new, this happens to be their first published book. There are very few authors that get it completely right in their very first book. If you were to look back at some of your favorite author's first book, you might be surprised that they wrote it. This book contains several of the issues you find in first time writers with pacing, world building, etc, so I'll stay away from any of that, since all that usually works itself out as an author gets more experienced.
With that said, there were things I really liked in this story. The storyline was one of them. While not entirely unique, it was completely refreshing. It put a bit of a different spin on things overall, and the prologue sets things up amazingly. There may not have been too many twists and turns, but the plot was clear, concise, well set up from beginning to end, and easy to follow.
The writing. Some of the writing was outstanding. The prologue was engaging, well written, and pulled me in completely. Towards the climatic ending I was engrossed, waiting to see what would happen. In one part of the ending I could totally envision the action of the scene unfolding as if happening in front of me. Again towards the end, the emotions that one scene evoked, was brilliantly done. I literally felt the heartbreak that the characters felt.
