By: Nina Berry
Publisher: KTeen
Release Date: January 29, 2013
Format: ARC
Source: publisher for an honest review
In Berry’s follow up to Otherkin we are
instantly thrown back into the action. The Tribunal have broken into each of
the shifters homes, not to kill them, but to still their hairbrushes. Right
away Dez is on alert and with the strange incidents happening with her mother,
she knows that they need to assemble at the school and figure out what is going
on. Dez has grown into her shifter
abilities but as a result she has become even more stubborn. I have a feeling
that is a natural trait with all tiger shifters and maybe that is the reason
that most shifters are not fans of tigers.
Dez does continue to make mistakes but
in her head they are for the good of the people she loves. Her love of Caleb
becomes blurred when Caleb’s half-brother and Tribunal baddie, Lazar, steps
back into the picture. This time Lazar wants to help the shifters. He
supposedly has seen the light and wants nothing to do with his father. Instead
he wants help from the shifters to escape the Tribunal but the other shifters
except for his sister, Amaris who has already escaped and is helping the
shifters, don’t believe him and think it is a trick.
I think if it wasn’t for Caleb’s sudden
jealous streak there would not be a love triangle. Unfortunately, as with most
YA books, there is one now but it doesn’t deter from the main part of the
storyline. I did find myself seeing Lazar as not the enemy but as a tortured soul
who is truly looking for a way out from under his father’s tyrannical rule. The
only part that was hard for me to accept was how easy Dez trusted Lazar who
previously tried to kill Dez and her family.
At times the action does read a bit
heavy but all in all Berry does an excellent job in keeping the action rolling
page after page. With each new revelation I was riveted to the pages wondering
what will happen next.
