Review: Story vs Cost = unsure
Rating: 3 out of 5

I read it and pretty much enjoyed it but based on a few issues, I'm not sure I would recommending laying out the $4.1 - At this price, technical content should be 100% perfect. There were many typos, grammar and punctuation errors. It seemed at times spell-check replaced a word.  IE: Hawk was replaced with hawked.  When I'm laying out $4 this is unacceptable.2 - Style was all over the place.  Was the author a 14 year old? A 40 year old? Sometimes you couldn't tell.  Scenes that needed elongated were chopped. For example: she survived a horrific event in her childhood that took her life on the course it had become. If you blinked you missed it.  It actually seemed like too many ideas crammed into one book, therefore none of the ideas allowed for much growth.3 - There is a marking scene that will make a lot of people uncomfortable. But the writer presents a valid point. In the animal kingdom there are certain acts that occur between animals that is part of a "marking/mating ceremony". Writers sometimes change those acts when the shifter is mated to a human?  But if you stay true to what would have in all likelihood occurred between two big cats, then the idea isn't that far fetched.  Still, some will be uncomfortable with it.4 - Frankly, it has taken too long to come out with follow-up, The Purrfect Picture.  It would seem this is a "series", yet 6 months later and teaser you were given at the end of The Purrfect Picture has yet to materialize.  For that reason, I would hold buying it until that book is also available.
