Review: Good but some obvious flaws
Rating: 4 out of 5

So, this book was pretty good.  A couple of new concepts thrown in the shifter genre that I enjoyed but one big issue that annoyed me throughout.  This book is set in the US but the dialect the author uses is British.  It goes on the entire book and is both annoying and distracting.  If you are a British author who doesn't want to use North American dialect then just set your book in England.  Americans don't say arse and bloke and don't use bloody as a curse.  It's a living room, not a lounge.  This, along with some editing issues make the book harder to read then need be and I thought about trying to ignore these flaws by just placing Cloverleah in Britain in my head but that didn't work when packs from Denver, Omaha, and San Antonio got involved.  Also, in the very beginning there is talk about Kane's home pack being from Arizona and his uncle being Alpha.  Later, his father, pack Alpha from Denver shows up.  What?  Two other annoying editing issues....every time they said San Antonio they included from Texas.  Unnessary.  Everyone knows San Antonio is in Texas.  Also, Shawn is supposed to be from Canada but his pack is the Spokane pack.  Spokane is in Washington, not Canada.  Get an Atlas before you write a book.Although annoying it was a decent story and I appreciated the length, although it's about 50 pages shorter than listed.  I will be reading the next story but I'm prepared to be annoyed with the dialect and poor geographical references.
