Review: 97-ish pages of double spaced modern style series writing...
Rating: 2 out of 5

The female protagonist is a were-bunny, a half bunny half woman, who unwillingly falls for a were-lion, a half lion half man-whore, all in the midst of someone trying to kill her for some unknown reason.This book is double spaced and felt quite short. I don't know if the double spacing affects the 97 page count turning it into 49 pages or something, but it doesn't matter. It feels short anyway. It's probably because lots of things happen, characters are introduced, but we dont get into it very much.Details aren't the big points of this book.This book is about the love making of were-bunnies and were-lions, and it succeeds in it's ability to do so. The sexy scenes are quite sexy, describing every action in physical and romantic detail. Sadly sometimes it's written in too much detail, that I felt like I wanted to skim the paragraph just to get on with the rest of the story.The writing is... slang. Or it felt slang anyway. There's a kind of writing that's modern: where you can understand what even ancient characters say because it's written in the modern tongue. Then there's the kind of writing where it's too modern and the colloquialisms are so strong that you feel the need to go to the internet's urban dictionary to figure out what everyone is saying. This book inched closer to the latter to be considered comfortable to read for all audiences.It also did this thing where the sentences are more like dialogue in a script, rather than book writing. One character actually says the words "My Mate. Need you." Which in my mind translates to either Tarzan talk or baby talk. But I guess it's a writing style choice so I can't really fuss about that too much. It's just not the kind of thing I like, at least in my "sexy adult" books anyway.The ending is horrible. It does that annoying to be continued cliffhanger thing, that some series' do. If you do get this book, my solution to this issue is simple: Re-read the part before that, turn off your kindle, and have a cup of tea. Then say "What cliffhanger ending? I don't remember reading that..."As someone that jumped into this book without reading the earlier ones (I assume there are earlier ones just because of the sheer number of extra characters that don't do much) I didn't get lost at all. I felt like it could be re-written easily into a stand-alone short story, so that was nice.2 stars. I felt cheated by the short page count, and the ending (and yes I tried the tea thing and it worked up until I finished the cup...)
