Review: Raw, on edge...read it.

A raw shifter story that kept me on edge from start to finish.I love Green's use of multiple perspectives in this - as opposed to ruining the suspense, switching the viewpoint only builds it. Plus the perspective always shifts just as someone's about to reveal something I'd really like to know...I admit to skipping over a fair bit of the description, mostly because I didn't need to know as much of the detail to appreciate the story. My imagination simply isn't that vivid, but if you need to know what people look like in a story, this one definitely delivers.Jaz's personality confuses me a little, I believe because she's so different to her twin, Lora. Lora seemed far more adult at twenty or even younger, as the story does include some flashbacks, than Jaz does at twenty-one. I'd liken her to a sulky teenager in some scenes - but that's simply who and what she is. She has all a teenager's logic and emotional response - but in an adult body and a dangerous one, at that. It certainly makes for a turbulent tale that had me hooked early. Or perhaps I should say she dug her claws in deep and didn't let go...I don't do spoilers, but I will say this ended with a cliffhanger. Not the unsatisfying kind where a story has no real ending - more a case of the author opening up a fresh can of worms in the final scene, when everything seemed to be resolved for the moment. Now I really want to read the next book in the series.If you're into raw, intense shifter or werewolf stories, you should read this. And if, like me, you're as inexperienced as Jaz when it comes to shifters and werewolves...you should still read it. It's well worth it.
