This was an enjoyable and quick paranormal romance book. The main character is likeable and I can see her growing in depth in subsequent books. However, the use of "Kitsune" is confusing to me. I believe this typically means fox in Japanese. While this story mentions various animal forms for shifters, the main form in the story line is wolf. Additionally, there were numerous misspelled words, as well as grammar and sentence structure issues that detracted from the flow of the story in the kindle version that I read. The story line has potential, though, so I will eventually give the second book in the series a try.

Interesting but doesn't hold a candle to some of her other work. This author has a ton of potential, but little errors started to get on my nerves (again) as I read.

Please; this needs proff-reeding (sic!)
Your: Belonging to You
You're: You are.
These are not interchangeable.
And, as others have said, there is a lot of repetition.

There is enough to make me want to finish... and I'm reading the second one now. Lack of Kindle Unlimited may be the breaker for Kit3. We'll see

For all of those who may be confused, this book is not about nine-tailed foxes as the Japanese title of the series would have you to believe. Instead it is about wolf-shifters. Disappointed? I was as well.

Nickie goes on a hike with her close friend Brandon and ends up getting bitten by a rattlesnake. The venom causes something in her to change and then she realizes she is no longer human. Luckily Brandon was there, he knows what to do. But now she has to get used to being stronger and faster and keeping secrets from her family, something she has never done.

The time table is a bit confusing and Nickie feels flat and reactive for the first half of the novel, it was quite a struggle to read. As other characters come in the story grows more interesting but it still reads as a sort of daily journal. Not the kind you are excited about but the mandatory ones you had to write during summer for a class project.

***Anger alert***
Stevens decides to use the term "ethnic" to describe all non-white identities. Why? I have no idea, it is rude to do so and I have no idea what made her decide to do it. That is one of the most ridiculous terms that anyone could use to describe marginalized populations as it tries to free these groups from labels what really happens is that when it is written or said, it sounds like you just don't care enough to give an ethnicity or nationality. It's lazy writing.
