This was actually a very good read.  It started off perfect, just the kind of story I can't put down.  Only problem was toward the end I wanted to strangle the heroin.  She was born into slavery and her goal in life was to escape.  She's had numerous unsucessful attempts and she gets punished every time.  Enters Bray, the Prince of Cats, he is immediately attracted to Neomee and later wants her for his mate.  He treats her well and tries to show her that he'll take care of her and put her first.  But the only thing on Neomee's mind is escape!! Really!!  This just got really tiring and made her look soooo stupid.  It became embarrassing.  Twice Bray ended up in front of the Priest with her because of her attempted escapes.  The punishment is death, but since he bound her there were other options.  The first time, she got punished by lashing and they had to basically tie Bray down so he wouldn't interfere with the punishment, he was so enraged.  But he made note of everyone involved and hunted them for his revenge.  The second time, he accepted the beating for her (Sigh).  I feel the book could have been more detailed, there were a few things left unanswered.  Did Bray kill the hated brother in law when he sought revenge?  Did the remaining cat soldiers set up a line of defense for the pending attack after the priest was killed?  Who killed Bray's first mate?  There really wasn't much of shapeshifting going on throughout the story.  I didn't care for the cover of the book, it looks more like a horror novel instead of romance novel.
