I'm giving this 5 stars, but my heart calls it four and a half stars, because any book that has a cliffhanger ending automatically loses half a star! So be warned, this book is gonna piss you off when it abruptly ends! That being said, how annoyed I was at the ending is a sign of how much I loved the story.Fairfield constructs a very interesting world where people of supernatural heritage live and work together taking care of mythical creatures. Of course when you put a bunch of teens together, sexual tension is sure to come up.In this book that tension forms between Jay, the main character, and Colin, a slightly older, almost irresistible character. Jay's desire for Colin jumps off the page and makes you want him to be with Colin as much as he wants it. While this is a constant in the book, it never becomes an overwhelming focus. There is far more interesting action going on at the zoo.I really liked the world of this book, it was immediately enthralling and believable. The mystery at the zoo was well balanced with the beginnings of Jay coming to term with his feelings for guys and Colin in particular. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good fantasy mystery with a love story.--Reviewed by Samantha Boyette, author of Morning Rising, Darkness of Morning, and Voodoo--
