Review: Not as impressed as I'd like to have been

When I first read about this mini "Otherkin" series I was jazzed.  Sadly, I see now why it was free.  One more pass through an editor would have made this short story a more solid read.  As it is, there are lots of typos and generally unpolished plot elements and character details.  Beyond the general concept of Otherkin and the conundrum between Nikki and Merrick, it just didn't grab me at all.  The writing wasn't at all clean or sharp.I also thought the beginning moved way too quickly, and not just because it is a short story.  The character development just wasn't there for me to accept the insta-magnetism between the two characters, which left their initial intimacy feeling coerced.  It never built into a deep need, I just had to accept that it was because the characters said it was.  Blah.It's an interesting story, enough so that I'd read other works by the author, just not in this series.
