Might have been four stars if not for Curran - if there is anything that really turns me off, it's weres and animal shapeshifters and alphas and blond hair and bulging muscles, and Curran is every single one of those things - and the constant desire for all those supposedly hot males in general. It was just so deadly dull.Decent plot & writing though and I like Kate (whenever she's not dripping with desire for those incredibly blegh males), and I'm intrigued by what she is, so now... I really don't know whether to continue or not. If there's more Curran ahead, and I fear there will be, then there really isn't much point, I suppose, which is a pity as I like the other aspects of these books.
