review 1: 2.5/5I was a little disappointed in this book to be honest. Since this was a series I was expecting the same characters to be the focus in this book. I was looking forward to another book about Antoinette and Christian, but instead got a new story told by a few different characters—Antoinette was in the book mind you but more in a supporting role.The story mainly focus on Kitt, (who is a great character just unexpected) a snow leopard who has been banished from her pack and had her kids taken away from her when she refused to live under their abusive society. Her kids are now eighteen years old and she finally meets them when they get enrolled in the school she is teaching at. While this reunion is happening a killer is targeting kids at the school and Kitt and Antoinett... moree among others are attempting to track down the perp. If I knew before I started reading that the series takes on different leads each book, I would have been a lot less disappointed, because overall the plot was pretty good. Kitt was a likeable and interesting character, who had been through so much in her life and it was nice to see her get some happiness. The book would have redeemed itself for me if it just stuck to Kitt’s POV. It got confusing with the constant switching, from the killers POV, to her friends, to Antoinette’s and then to her lovers POV. It was just a bit much. Not sure if I will read book three anytime soon but from the synopsis I’m gathering it’s going to focus on another character again.
review 2: I originally started this book, and then had to set it aside 50 pages into it because it was too overwhelming and I got confuzzled. Once I picked it back up and started over, I found myself falling back in love with the world Ms. O'Hara created. I enjoyed the different cultures and backstory of the Beastiabo (sp?). The lore is what really kept me turning page after page, as I could not make myself more than just passingly interested in the main characters of Kit and Raven. I found myself questioning the rationale for not having any contact with the twins Kit left behind when she left the pride. Raven is supposed to be a "bad-ass" but he seems neutered as a character; there could have been so many other ways to showcase his Alpha-ness then the way he was. I'm still holding my breath to read Oberon's story (the ursian) and now I'm interested in more about why Tones is a Vegan Aeternus as well as Cody's(the incubus) story. It was nice to read more about Antoinette & Christian (from the first novel) but it was hardly even a "bump" in the novel. less
