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.
