I would agree with a lot of my fellow readers. I’m a big fan of V. Castro’s other books but this one fell a bit flat for me.
I really loved the main character Maya and her sister Magdalena and wished more time was spent with both of them. Didn’t love the romance storyline which felt a bit shoehorned in and unnecessary especially with such a short book.
I wish we got a bit more background on the powers and background of the creatures and the villain as well. I think because we didn’t the story itself felt a bit oddly placed especially with the villain being revealed very early on in the book but us still not learning that much about them.

Is it just me, or does anyone else read the word "jaguar' like those old Jaguar car commercials with the British narrator pronouncing it "Jag-u-ar," making it three syllables? Anyhow, loved this book, great fun story.

good concept but a bit flawed in execution and again … why couldn’t it be longer

I absolutely loved this. It won't be for everyone but it was right up my alley. It had an interesting premise, a strong female lead, it didn't shy away from getting gross, it was funny and it was sexy.
I didn't feel that anything was forced between any characters. Could the story have been a bit longer? Yes! I would have loved a full length book. This is the 2nd time I've read something of V. Castro and I have to say I really enjoy her work.
The two stories I've read from the Rewind or Die series were great so I'm going to have to check out some of the others.
