Helpful Score: 1
I found this to be boring and predictable. At least the editing was good--no typos or missing words or ridiculous sentence construction.
Not entirely what I expect when reading Ellora's Cave, but it was good. A refreshing book to read after finishing a 600 page, heart-tugging book, and getting ready to start another intense one. Full of interesting shape-shifting, fighting, with only one erotic scene.
Shifter story set in New Orleans. A human doctor is sucked into the world of the supernatural when she is kidnapped to help and injured shifter. Good read-once with lots of action. Some very bad things happen to good people.
My biggest complaint is a technical one - for predators these guys have a lot of trouble telling when someone is dead! Big fight scenes, victors announce other guy is dead and walk off-only to find he wasn't...

I've started the second book in the series [Changing Hearts] which has the villain from book 1 as the hero. I have a problem with that - Slade was callous, cold and calculating; and that was towards members of his pack. He hated humans and thought nothing of the murder of a human woman to 'make a point'. Yet in book 2 he ends up mating a human after overcoming the trauma of his childhood. Umm. I don't see it.
On the other hand, if you forget his behavior in book 1 and take it only as rendered in book 2, it's a good story.
