All in all I loved the story, it had a different and interesting concept on how the shifters came to be. However the story never gotten into what was happening to Kalista with her static issue, but I'm hoping it will be explained in book 2. Which I'm dying to read now because the ending just left my mind wondering what was going to happen next. I thought for sure she would have saw Caleb during the fight but I was so wrong about that. I'm divided on how I feel about Kalista on her Tristan situation on one hand it was annoying that one minute she liked him then the next she didn't. But finally they work out their issues which seemed like it lasted for about 5 minutes and then it came crashing down, so yeah a little divided there but at least she pulled it together so she looked semi ok for her dad. The only thing I can think of that is really negative is the editing on this book, some very simple mistakes but a reader could most likely deduce what it was suppose to read for it to make sense. So I figured 1 star off for that. I would recommend this to any reader really. I wasn't fully sure at first if I would like this but I ended up enjoying the book and ready and willing to read the next in the series!
