I picked this book up as a freebie and while I didn't hate it, I had some major issues with it. I would rate this book as 2.5 stars.The good: The main shifters aren't your typical wolf or some other popular animal. They are hawk owls so like raptors. It was interesting enough to keep me reading for a while. After a little bit, that interest wore off.The bad/ugly: The writing was amatuerish. A lot of telling rather than showing. "Lana knew xxxxx" and "Dover understood xxx, because xxxx".The thing that got on my nerves the most was the whole "honor" situation. That word and the concept displayed in the book hard to have easily taken up 40% of the story. "You dishonor me by doing this", "you honor me so I will do this" "Lana questioned such and such's honor". I mean it literally occurred over and over and over again.The take on the hiding of emotions was interesting. It could have been such a great premise if the story telling was written better (I'm thinking in the vein of Nalini Singh's Psy and the way they are written).All in all I didn't hate this book (otherwise it would have gotten one star). It was interesting to a point (abut 60%). After that I was like well I don't really care what happens to anyone in this book. The sex scenes were alright.
