Review: My Therian Prey Review
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 10 22, 2012
Therian Prey is about a woman name Carissa who is being chased by different factions. Quinn becomes her hero and, of course, her lover. Right from the beginning Quinn likes her. He tries to convince her of a secret life that most humans doesn't realize is real and one Carissa is unwittingly a part of. Werewolves, shapeshifters, etc. etc. It is little bit of a romance, erotica, and action adventure all rolled up into one.I am giving it three stars because the underlying story was good and the writing was great. There is a twist on the Egyptians and Cleopatra, and Friberg managed to pull it off in this imaginary world she created. It is well thought out. I could tell she put a lot of energy into the history of the Therians, and it probably wasn't easy with so many characters involved in the story. An author can easily mix up backgrounds all the way to something as simple as the hair color. Friberg does an excellent job keeping her facts straight and the story moving. The formating for the Kindle and the editing is perfect. I can't remember a single trip while reading.Now, the reason why I took away two star is because I feel like the story went directly to erotica the more you got into the book. The answer to all of Carissa's problems was sex. I don't mind sex in books, but it wasn't balanced with the other part of the story. It simply turned into erotica. Also, I don't think they really knew one another. I really didn't know them, either. But I did learn one thing about Carissa. She was in "heat" most of the time. What did I know about Quinn? He caused her heat.I was thinking about giving it a lower rating, but honestly, I don't think this book deserved it. Friberg did a great job in her writing. It isn't easy putting any kind of book in great length together, and she did a great job in this creative product. Will I continue reading the series? No. This book was enough animal shapeshifting, erotica for my lifetime. I think if she writes in another genre, I'll pick that up instead.Thanks,Joy
