Review: Got this as a Prime pick, and it turned out to be one of my better picks.

If you're looking for a badazz kind of woman who can throw down, then Andy's your woman. She's the kind of self-reliant heroine I enjoy reading, and the type of paranormal I liked to read about most. The story is told from her POV in first-person, and she's really the star of the show. I liked that she's lean and tough but still a sexy woman. I also liked that she's biracial, although I don't think enough was really added about that, but I think that has more to do with keeping Andy's true past more a mystery to the reader until later.Sometimes I felt I had too much information, and other times, not enough, but the author's background about Feras, The Purge, and how all this supernatural change came to be was interesting. And the dynamic between weres and vamps was different, too. I want to see how this dynamic changes as Andy learns more about herself. As the story ends, we still have more to learn about Andy and her special abilities. Not a cliffhanger per se, as the current storyline is resolved, but there's definitely much more to find out. There also seems to be another love interest for Andy, one besides Wick.If I have one complaint about this story, it would be that I wanted more time with Andy and Wick together. I hope the next book develops that more; more romance/a few more smexy times would be nice to balance the action. But other than that, I enjoyed this. Just a couple of small bumps in an otherwise solid first book. As a series getting its footing, this was a pretty good read, and I'd be interested in seeing how the series continues. More so than romance or love everlasting, the focus is on Andy, her choices and her open options; her shadowy past and her uncertain future. It'll be fun to see how it goes and what's in store for her.
