4.5 out of 5 stars (229)
Celina Bayberry never thought a part-time job could change her life, until she meets the hot and untouchable Aaron Jamison. Strangely enough, she can’t shake the feeling that he’s stalking her. And when a yellow-eyed stranger takes interest in her too, Celina discovers a dangerous secret: Her co-workers are Miew Demos–creatures linked to Bastet, the feline goddess of Egypt and members of a clan called Miews, shifters who can transform from human to feline in an instant.

They, and she, are being hunted by a wolf clan, the Iew Keftey, who will not rest until every last one of the Miews is annihilated. Celina’s life unravels as she is thrust into this age-old battle of brother against brother. Meanwhile, she’s losing her heart to Aaron who may or may not have lost his to her. And her own Bayberry family history is hiding something… something that will forever link her destiny with that of the Miews.

Celina and the clan need each other, but is either strong enough to face what is to come?

    5.0 out of 5 stars Thoroughly enjoyed but should come with a warning

    I read a lot in this genre and can't tell you how many times the books in have disappointed me. Why do I continue to read it then? Because of gems like this.

    The story was great. It sucked me in from the beginning and kept me there through the end.

    I love the take on how the shifters came be and why they are at war with each other. I love that the main character is a strong one and I loved the romance between her and Aaron.

    However, this book really should come with a warning that says something along the lines of, "Read at your own risk because once you start you will not stop until you have reached the end, even if you have other things you really should be doing besides reading."

    4.0 out of 5 stars 3.7 stars: Markings by S B Roozenboom
    Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2016
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Lina's life is shaken up by a series of strange incidents, including unsettling dreams, encounters with wildcats and large wolves, physical changes, and a confusing relationship with new acquaintance Aaron.

    (Though reviews are inherently subjective, I prefer to provide some organization to my opinions through the use of a personal rubric. The following notes may contain spoilers.)

    Plot and Setting: 3.5 -- Plot has many unique elements, no major holes, and a sense of focus. The major plot arc of Lina becoming Alpha of the Miew Demos clan is strong and resolved. However, the plot really falls down on the details. There are significant errors in logic and consistency: Lina's apparent lack of familiarity with Wildcat Country and longing for "home" near the ocean doesn't mesh with the fact that she moved 3 years ago, and later says she has mostly bad memories of her house in Seaside. Time doesn't pass normally, with hours or days missing entirely or repeated. Etc. Plot points in sub-plots are dropped or not resolved, leaving a semi-satisfying, semi-cliffhanger ending--and there is no sequel, so it really should have no cliffhanger at all.

    Characters: 3.5 -- Main character (Lina) is relatable, interesting, and dynamic. Her growth into accepting the supernatural and her role as clan Alpha is well done. Other characters are more stereotyped or simplified. Relationships between characters are not especially well developed, but what is there is decent. We see glimpses of Lina and Kat as best friends/surrogate sisters, and definitely see Aaron's protective devotion to Lina.

    Mechanics and Writing: 3.5 -- Scattered typos, punctuation issues, and word errors, including a few major mistakes. Another run through to edit errors is definitely needed, though the story was strong enough that the errors didn't bog me down. Good use of 1st person POV. Generally skillful writing.

    Redeeming Value: 3.5 -- Incidental uplifting themes. Lina doubts her ability to be anything but an overlooked nerd, but in the end rises to the occasion and quite smoothly takes on her new leadership role. Sex, alcohol, violence, etc, are not glorified, but some shaky ground, eg. Lina and Aaron's make-out session that nearly went further.

    Personal Enjoyment: 4.5 -- I liked it a lot. Highly enjoyable and very entertaining, with perhaps an issue or two that tempered my pleasure. Definitely one I'll reread.

    Moving to a place teaming with wolves and wild cats Lina figured she would just enjoy the nature stuff and try to live her life. It was a pretty place and Mom was happy. She begins to realize that changes are happening and her life will be changing forever. Roozenboom totally amazed me with this story. Girl finds out she is a shifter but it is in the process of becoming that the character grows on you and you find yourself wishing for a sequel. Love this story. Well written and full of reading entertainment.

    Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2013

    Got caught up in the sample and ended up reading the whole book in one sitting. Very well-written with great characterisation and pacing. It's written in first person, so the first thing I must say is I'm SO THANKFUL to the author for not letting the main character go off into long, rambling internal monologues. No "information dumps" here, which shows a great deal of skill on the part of the author. We do get to see inside Celina's head but never did I feel like I was stuck in there and wanted to get out, nor did I at any time feel like I was getting information that was superfluous to the story.

    Celina, although portrayed as a bit of a klutz and "a plain girl" (at least, that's what she thinks of herself) comes across as endearingly normal. I love how she reacted when she found out the secret of her true identity. The way she responded was very real and exactly how I thought an ordinary person would probably react. In addition, it was lovely how Celina (or Lina, as she prefers to be called) had many hints of something unusual happening before it finally happened. We got to travel with her through the whole process and feel the anticipation of knowing that something was going to happen, but not knowing when or how it would finally happen. It was also great to see that when Lina finally embraced her identity, she started to come into her own.

    I loved that she had a best friend for support and I felt sad that we hardly got to see much of Kat once Lina's big secret was revealed. But I did think that Kat accepted the news a little too quickly and easily. Aaron was a little weird, especially at the beginning, but I liked that although Lina thinks he's hot, she isn't all slack-jawed and tongue-tied around him. I hate it when heroines lose their train of thought and are frozen to the spot because they're so distracted by the hero's handsome face.

    I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 because some things weren't cleared up. For example, Lina starts to read an important letter, then loses her temper and stops halfway, but after she cools down we're never told what the rest of the letter contains. We're told that Lina resembles her great-grandmother, who supposedly lost her grip on reality and then simply disappeared. What really happened to her? We read that Lina leaves an angry message on her dad's answering machine, but he never calls her or comes to see her after he gets that message -- strange behaviour from a parent. Which makes me want to know why her Bayberry side of the family has been so distant when they could have helped her through this whole process of finding out who she is. And how is it that the special ability Lina is supposed to have inherited still hasn't shown itself, even though she has embraced her true identity? The ending also is a cliffhanger of sorts as we never get to know... well, you'll find out when you read the book. There had better be a book 2 in the works or I'll be annoyed because I REALLY want to know how this whole thing works out.
