Shift by Rachel Vincent

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

TROUBLE IS IN THE AIR…

Being the first female werecat enforcer isn’t easy. Scars accumulate, but I’m stronger in so many ways.

As for my personal life? It’s complicated. Choices worth making always are. Ever since my brother’s death and my father’s impeachment, it’s all I can do to prevent more blood
from spilling. Now our Pride is under attack by a flight of vicious thunderbirds. And making peace with our new enemies may be the only way to get the best of our old foe.

With the body count rising and treachery everywhere, my instincts tell me to look before I leap. But sometimes a leap of faith is the only real option…

MY THOUGHTS:
I really enjoyed this book. It was the perfect mix of urban fantasy with a hint of romance. Ms. Vincent writes so well that it was easy to suspend reality and become completely absorbed in the characters lives. The lead female character, Faythe, was likable as were the two male leads, Jace & Mark. Yes, Faythe makes lots of mistakes throughout the book, but every character has flaws and she certaintly has her share. I’m not sure I like the whole love triangle. I’d like to think an Alpha male would just kick the girl to the curb if he was seriously betrayed, but that doesn’t happen. Their was plenty of tension and the fight scenes didn’t always have our hero’s coming out on top. I look forward to the next installment in the series.

MY RATING:
4/5

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Rachel Vincent is the author of the Shifters series, about a werecat named Faythe Sanders, who is learning to define her own role in her family and fighting to claim a place in her Pride. Rachel’s young adult urban fantasy series, Soul Screamers, is about a teenage bean sidhe (banshee) trying to balance a normal high school experience with the terrifying, hidden world she’s just discovered. My Soul To Take and My Soul To Save are available now. Look for My Soul To Keep on June 1, 2010.

A resident of San Antonio, Rachel Vincent has a BA in English and an overactive imagination, and consistently finds the latter to be more practical. She shares her office with two black cats (Kaci and Nyx) and her # 1 fan. Rachel is older than she looks—seriously—and younger than she feels, but remains convinced that for every day she spends writing, one more day will be added to her lifespan.

    I have got to stop reading your blog…because I have added a TON of books to my wish list that I don't have the time or energy to read right now.

    Thanks for flooding my head with unattainable reading goals ;)

    Kinsey–Please don't stop! It's a good problem to have: too many book too little time. Have a wonderful weekend!
