review 1: I enjoyed the magical aspects of this book. I felt like I learned a bit about Mayan myth and Latin American magic culture. The problem I had was that the storytelling was a bit slow and thin. I found myself skipping lots of pages to get to the "good" parts. And the author uses a lot of references to pop culture that I found annoying and that dated the book. References to a person being a "gleek" already sounds passe. I would have thought an editor would have pointed this out.There's promise for the characters. If this is a series, I'd like to see the boyfriend fleshed out more. I didn't find myself drawn to him or knowing him particularly. And the MC needs to get a grip and be less scared about everything all the time. Promising idea and writing - needs po... morelish.
review 2: I liked that this was a different type of shapeshifter story. It was interesting tying it into the Mayan calendar. Maya finds out she is a jaguar shifter, but has an unusual marking for it. A tree instead of a jaguar is on back of her neck. Shifters always get the mark of their animal on their necks. People in the shifter community think this means Maya has a greater mission in life. And one thing is setting things in the right order on December 21st. She has her friends to help her, and her mate, Matt. I liked Matt. The romance between them didn't seem to heat up until the end, but it hinted at it a little throughout the book. I just thought with how they kept saying they felt they would be spending more time together. Parts of it dragged for me, but overall it was good. The end had an interesting fight that I think will come into the next book which I am going to read now. less
