4 of 5 stars.Beasthood has a great premise. I loved A.Z. Green's take on Weres, and was delighted to find an author that doesn't skim over the less savory bits of physical transformations. The actual plot of the novel was incredible, I thought. I equally loved and hated the suspense, and especially the pacing.Sigh. Unfortunately, I knocked a star off my review for this novel, even though it was so entertaining. The copy editing needs some work. There were plenty of mistaken word usages: your and you're, mostly. And some of the formatting in the early chapters of the book irked me with its non-conformity. On another note, I really hated the way we were given 'flashbacks' of events that happened a few months, or days, even years, before the ongoing events of Jaz's storyline. I understand the use of some of them, but a lot of those 'flashbacks' could have been taken care of in an orderly manner, inserting them into their proper place in the chronological order of the story. :/I didn't feel much of a connection with the characters, as another reviewer stated, but all in all, this was an entertaining read, and definitely worth my time and money. I recommend it to anyone looking for a new voice in the shifter world.
