Review: Interesting idea, but too many flaws
Rating: 2 out of 5

While the idea of a werefox surrounded by werewolves was interesting and some of the werefox's behaviors as a human reflecting the "prey" mentality were neat, the overall story was just a little too flawed to get a break-even rating.  First, the dialogue was really hokey and not well done.  The author wrote dialogue in such a way that the characters spoke in proper sentences as if they were dictating a journal article.  People don't actually say "I am not" when "I'm not" will suffice, and "you should not" tends to become "you shouldn't," etc.  This may sound picky, but it really makes the dialogue sound clunky and mechanical.  And the werefox said "I am little fox" so many times that it made me want to gouge my eyes out.  Also, while I approve of what the author tried to do with the primary relationship, the romance was incredibly forced and I found the notion that these two characters would want to be together to be kind of ridiculous.  Except for being lesbians and were-creatures, the two have nothing in common and spend the majority of the book having the exact same argument over and over.  The main plot was predictable and the anti-climactic climax happened with about 20% of the book left to go, so the reader gets a couple chapters of epilogue before finally ending.  This book could have been half the length without losing any real content.  I think that if the author worked on more naturalistic dialogue that this would still creep up to a three-star effort, but right now it doesn't feel like it was worth the money with so many cheaper straight-to-ebook options out there for less.
