review 1: This book started off really good and I liked the vet scene and the main character. Her husband got more and more irritating, which he may have been supposed to, and I started to get annoyed with her that she was putting up with his cheating and the way he talked to her. Or maybe I should say didn''t talk to her. When she didnt stand up for herself I was tempted to put the book down but I knew it would get better and it did. My favourite part was when she left him and he gets what's coming to him. I like the character Red, he is cool. I enjoyed it enough to read the second which I snagged as it went through the circ desk at work the other day. The second ones sounds cool as she releases her inner animal so to speak.
review 2: I'd like to start by saying I think... more this book was marketed incorrectly. It is *not* paranormal romance, and people looking for fluffy fiction will probably hate it, as evidenced by some of the other reviewers opinions.Alisa Sheckley previously worked on the Vertigo imprint of DC comics, and this novel would fit well into that world. "The Better to Hold You" is a dark, slightly painful look at a woman's transformation into something else...and her realization that the man she thought she loved might never have existed.I would recommend this to lovers of dark fantasy and psychological horror. less
