This book felt rushed like it was cliff notes to a novel. If the characters and plot had been more developed it would have been better. All of the history in what happened before this book seemed like it was a recap from a previous book.

I can usually let a few editing mistakes slide, but it really ruined the flow of the story here. That being said, the idea behind the book was...ok. It could have used some major revision and editing on the author’s part. It felt like I was reading the second book of a series rather than the first. The characters weren’t fully developed and the romance was rushed and corny. The random mythical wolf being-thing that was introduced was just odd, and it was made worse by the half-arsed explanation the author wrote. The story had potential, but I was let down immensely.

Bad

Excellent dive into the sorcery world, starting with Jade Crow, who has been in hiding for 25 years from her murdeous ex-lover Samir. Jade's friends, mostly were-shifting gamers have started turning up frozen into their were state and their energy being drained by a human magic user. Jade, with help of a Justice, sorts through the magiked weres, but exposes herself magically to the ex-boyfreind.

Isn't Gaelic the language of the Irish? Anyway. The story was pretty interesting and the writing style is amusing and easy to read. The romance felt rushed and just came out of left field for me though. I feel like there should have been more build up there. The way it happened just kind of had me rolling me eyes.

Loved it. The story was captivating. Could have had less "melting loins" but I really liked the story.

You mean to say she's not a lesbian? Or at the very least bi? Why does it always have to be a straight girl!?

Really well done short story. Being a gamer myself I felt a kinship in this book. Look forward to reading the rest of this series

As an introductory short novel, this did hold my interest. I hope, in future efforts, that the author develops the characters more and gives us more of the story at a time.

New author for me. Shifters, magic, kept me interested and I will definitely be reading more of this series!
