Only that it was really, really important, yet only a handful of people seemed to actually know something about The Rules, the tribe leader not being one of them! It seemed like some kind of shifter's Bible, but again: there was no further elaboration. It's no fun playing a game if the rules keep changing! A reah can only be destined to one person.

Seriously: did I miss a prologue or something? If you want to create a new world, do so, don't come up with bits and pieces without further elaboration, especially if those bits and pieces aren't consistent throughout the story! A reah is really important and has a holy status. What are the characteristics of a shifter in both human and animal form? What about things like heightened senses, strength, longevity? Are there other supernatural creatures? Also: what are the rules within a panther tribe? What makes someone a leader, teacher or enforcer? And what about the rules of conduct between panther tribes? Are there turf wars? Is there animosity? What about people who don't have a tribe? We didn't really know anything about the world, the game, the rules or the players. But throwing around old Egyptian mythology doesn't cut it. And now I wonder: did we even read the same book?īecause, yes: the author tried to set up a new world in where there are such things as panther shifters. People loved the story and they were particularly praising about the world building. I read this book because of the raving reviews. See: Jin is a reah, a destined mate to a tribe leader, but they're not supposed to be male. At age 16 he was beaten by his own tribe and left for dead because he was an abomination.

It will take time and trust for Jin to discover the joy in belonging to Logan and how to love without restraint.Jin is a panther shifter who has been on the run for over eight years.

Jin doesn't want to go back to the old ways, and mating would irrevocably tie him to them.īut Jin is the mate Logan needs at his side to help him lead his tribe, and he won't give Jin up so easily. Logan Church is a shock and an enigma, and Jin fears that Logan is both the mate he fears and the love of his life. When his travels bring him to a new city, he crosses paths with the leader of the local were-tribe. Having fled his past, he wants nothing more than to start over, but Jin’s old life doesn’t want to let him go. 'With secondary characters that are just as strongly written and a story that runs smoothly this engrossing story will keep the reader's attention till the very last page.' (5 of 5 stars, Lydia at Rainbow Reviews)Īs a young gay man - and a werepanther - all Jin Rayne yearns for is a normal life. 'The story draws you in from the first scene and never releases its hold until the final sentence.' (5 of 5 nymphs, Scandalous Minx at Literary Nymphs)
