I really hate it when I totally and vehemently disagree with every other review.  I bought this book because of it's reviews but I found it unreadable.  The characters were all ciphers except for Jin,  the hero,  and he was so inconsistent as to be first confusing and then unbelievable.  Jinn is a Reah,  some genetically gifted shifter who makes the entire tribe better,  but every other Reah has been a woman,  how can we explain a male, gay one? (of course the option of having a female semel didn't occur to anyone!)The first third was interesting and good,  but the second Jin meets his mate,  it all falls into a bucket.  We never see anything from Logan's point of view,  only Jinn's interpretation of it,  and he is so instantly accepting of his male, gay reah,  and so happy to have found him, that there is no tension there.  Jinn is the one holding back and not committing,  which makes less sense,  because he knew he was gay!I started skimming and shaking my head as scenes grew sillier and less emotionally involving.  I was really disappointed, partially because the other reviews had been so glowing,  they raised my expectations.  But I rate this a near wall banger and definitely not a keeper,  I won't read it ever again.
