I thought this was slightly better than the first book, but it's still lacking... something - I'm not quite sure what. It wasn't bad, but it's not grabbing me like I'd hoped this series would. Still, there's always hope the series will improve!

Ok, things finally picked up a little and this was a pretty enjoyable read. After the first 150 pages I stopped waiting for things to happen.

Although I would have liked just a touch more action (and okay, a lot more romance), overall this was right up my alley. I especially liked the author's world building. Very thorough. And since the book was set around the outskirts of Austin, I felt an immediate connection to the setting and the characters. What really impressed me was the author's knowledge of Texas. I thought for sure she lives there, but no, apparently she's from Washington D.C. She must have really done her research, because the in-depth descriptions of the setting were spot-on. Very impressive. Recommended. (A)

I rather liked this book, enough to locate the others in the series and put them on my to-read-pile. I actually really liked Keira and how she has to struggle with the Change and, in general, her character. This wasn't a paranormal romance like I had originally thought it would be, in fact Keira's love interest was pretty much out of action for the entire book. This ended up being more of a paranormal mystery book that flowed fairly well. I found myself getting a little confused as it seemed that things were said with out flat out saying them. Things were hinted at or said in a round about manner that the reader would have to see between the lines to understand what was meant. Because of this style of writing I found myself often having to go back to re-read the paragraph I was having trouble with (to be honest I think this is partly my fault. I often read a little too fast and have to force myself to slow down when reading a book that intrigues me).
Still I enjoyed the book and the well written characters and the well described town/setting. I was pleased with the way the clans seem to work and the author introduced me, as a new reader to the series, to the characters and books without making me feel like I was being given a run down of what happened in the past book - very tastefully done.
