Some minorish spoilers ahead....I know I'm in the minority here when I say I didn't really like this book. What gets me is that it had SO MUCH POTENTIAL!Aside from the terrible editing (spelling mistakes, using homophones incorrectly, blah!), the story was a huge let down. So much so that I almost debated not finishing it.It started off very much like Ilona Andrew's On the Edge series. I love that series. It has the concept of fated mates and shape shifters. SWOON. What potential for me!!However, I found the pace of the story to be really off. The world wasn't developed enough for me. There was almost a rushed feel to it. If the details had been fleshed out, I would have been enthralled. Also, there wasn't enough tension buildup. We just went from one scene to the next without much to do. The romance also happened at a breakneck speed, which is okay in some circumstances, but it didn't feel as deep to be because of it. I understand the concept of fated mates but this concept is dealt with in a much better fashion in the Immortals After Dark series and the like (thank you Kresley Cole!).I didn't get why they were on the run the whole book. It seemed pretty illogical and not well discussed. The book spends a good 30 pages talking about clothing and making halter tops but skims over fleshing out major things like what are the queen's motivations and the pros and cons of going to meet with her.Don't even get me started on switching from first person to third person paragraph to paragraph. Talk about confusing.Overall, the book felt rambling and the farther into the book I read, the more I disliked it.It was a good idea in theory, I just wish it was done differently.
