The main character Marcy was created well; she was one of those teenaged girls that could remind you of yourself or your best friend. The storyline was great, so different and interesting! Shapeshifting is a popular topic for paranormal fiction but I think the author managed to change it up and create something different.
The only two small issues I had were: I think some of the scenes could have been played out more and…the book was way too short! (I say that in a good way…) That’s okay though, because this is the first in the series and that means more to come!
Overall, I thought it was a fun read. The characters were realistic and the story was unique. I certainly look forward to reading more in this series by Helen Ellis.
