My rating is on the low side of a 3.5I would not recommend this book in audio...the narrator is truly awful. I stopped about halfway through and picked up the book to read instead, and I have to say I enjoyed it much much more. I like the mythology behind the series very much, but I was not too fond of the hero and heroine of this particular book. I found Jasha to be a littl over the top and Ann to be incredibly whiny and wishy-washy. Maybe it had something to do with the narrator's portrayal ofOkay - another Paranormal Romance Series.This review contains spoilers. Very interesting plot - you have a very evil man that sells his soul to the devil in exchange for being able to shift into an animal - and all his decendents are cursed - so here we are a thousand years later with a small family that is related to the evil man and they are fighting to break the curse against the devil. They will lose their ability to change into animals (Wolf, Panther, etc) - but save their souls - so you
This author took what could have been an interesting plot and turned it into something a grade-schooler might have written if she sneaked peeks at her mama's romance novels and reassembled the pieces incorrectly. Terrible prose (wonder boobies?), terrible characterization, poorly plotted.

WOW, I loved this book. Maybe because I wasn't expecting to find such an amazing read due to the reviews it had. But I'm glad I actually read it, because I've really enjoyed it.I loved everything about this book. I was extremely happy with the world that was created. I loved the demons who turned into animals at will and the fact that there was a family totally normal but so different from the rest. I was fascinated that even though Jasha's father was one of the Varinski he changed and left
These are the reasons why I didnt like this book:> The story starts off in a really uncomfortable way. The h gave me the impression of a stalker or a stage-5 clinger with her thoughts and behavior, tbh. > I didnt like the vibe of their first sexual encounter. I didnt find it hot or steamy at all. (view spoiler)[It was a little too close to rape, imo. (hide spoiler)]> I didnt like the h. My first impression of her wasnt good to begin with (the stalker behavior from the first few
So later in the book Ann started showing tgose ways the female main characters act that gets on my nerves but with her i couldnt really get mad because it qas mostly because she thought she was unloveable. I am so glad i finished this book and cant wait to read the others.
