Hard to describe. There were too many eye rolling scenes in this book. The romance wasn't really believable to me. I started skimming after halfway. ( )

AWESOME!!!!

if it were possible I would give more than five stars. a unique take on shifter dynamics. I love the humor and the sense of friendship and family throughout. if you're not up on pop culture references, beloved cartoons of the 80's and 90's, Dr Who references, and hit sci first films from the past 40 years or Sox you may not understand some of the humor. One of my favorite parts are the quips Aidans mate makes (fully confusing him in the process as he has no clue what she's talking about) in regards to hysterical Dr Who comments like weeping angels references, Tardis, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars and other films of the ilk. what makes it that much funnier is how utterly clueless aidan is as he's never seen or heard of any of them. nor is he even remotely good at or interested in technology when his new love is a bona fide hacker who literally will rip your head off for coffee. she's sort of like a little sprite with the heart of She-Ra warrior princess. in other words she rocks!! She mY be small and human but she is mighty. she also has a tendency of instantly befriending and collecting the most amazing posse of friends. I can't wait to read more about this amazing world and all the awesome new friends that await. I'm crossing my fingers a new book is forthcoming SOON!!! the blend of paranormal romance and humor is perfect. the romance and unveiling of the new world to the "clueless human" is perfectly done and highly entertaining. my only complaint is I now want to read more .

This is, without a question, one of my favorite books of all time.

If you're looking for the next masterpiece brimming with words of eloquence, hard-hitting politics or a breathless romance that leaves you pining for Mister Right, this is probably not your book.

For everyone else, this book (and all of the others in the series) is full of fierce warriors, a spunky fireball of a female you can't help but utterly adore (and find elements of yourself in, let's be honest), and a strong, impenetrable sense of belonging. There is not a single character, main or sideline, that you won't love. Meryn remains, to this day, one of my favorite book heroines, and that only becomes more and more evident as the series continues on.

There is so much wrapped up in such a relatively short story. There is romance, and a fair amount of heat for those who enjoy that, but beneath all of that is a well-hidden mystery that is uncovered simply with a fresh - and curious - set of eyes. There is family, one built from strength and blood and committment... and fate. There are moments of utter hilarity (the first time our dear warriors trek to the store ranks as my favorite scene of the series), true enlightenment and maybe a touch of inner understanding. If everyone chose to look at the world as Meryn does in her so-called "immaturity", it's possible a great many things we all struggle with would be solved. ( )

I loved it! this book has everything. Hot shifter alpha males, lots of humour and a funny female character. What's not to Love ( )

It was too silly for me. This was my first attempt at reading this book.

Then.....

I am doing a reread as everyone raves about this series and sometimes it's just my mood, another day you read something and feel differently.

Okay so my reread review....
This book is really good, very funny in parts.
I think the reason I found it hard to get in to on the first read is that everything is instant. I felt as though I had joined the story part way through.
But the insta is often used in shifter stories as they feel the 'mating pull' or scent their mate, so these to get together very quickly.

Aiden and Meryn.

Aiden is very important in the shifter world and as a result is all about duty and is very serious.
Meryn is human so the shifter world is all new to her. This results in lots of humour and misunderstandings esp the scene about Aiden learning about a human women's cycle.
The author has based this book around those culture differences and not them fighting their 'pull'.
There are lots of references to Doctor Who and other shows and films which can be very funny.
I can understand how this book is not for everyone but at the same time it is very good if you stick with it.
There is a enemy plot running through the book so there is a bit of mystery and battling through shifter politics.
There are lots of secondary characters that add to the humour but also lay the basis for stories in the rest of the series.



"I won't become part of the collective. I refuse to have your babies. Resistance isn't futile!"


"Is your name Alfred?"


"Balls, like with poofy dresses and dancing and tiny sandwiches that don't fill you up?"

"Stay here."
"Yeah, fuck that. I'm sticking to you like glue. I've seen this horror movie, the person waiting in the hallway dies."



"I think my mate may be mentally retarded, either that or she has a severe inner ear imbalance. Every night it's as if I watch her from afar, I have never seen a more accident prone person in my life. I fear she will get herself killed before I can find her."
