At the mercy of the full moon once a month, she works from home, is friendless, and definitely doesn't have a social or dating life. That is, until she finds a wounded woman in a nearby park, and there is an inexplicable attraction between the two of them. Dr. Eve Thomas is used to studying corpses, but she almost becomes one herself on a simple early morning walk - until she's saved by a wolf. But the man who attacked her gets away, and Eve has to find him before he finds her. At the risk of sounding like a broken record in my reviews, I really wanted to like this book more than I did. It's an okay read, and it's hard to find quality paranormal lesbian fiction, and there are some really great parts to the story. The problem with the book, however, is that it feels rather uneven to me; sometimes the action is at a great pace, and sometimes the book drags so badly that I had to put the book down and read something else for a while. The last half of the book really picked up, but it felt like a chore at times getting there. Selene is an okay character, but she comes off as rather "too good" to me. She's virtually perfect (save for the shifting against her will thing once a month into a presumed ferocious wolf, I guess). Eve, meanwhile, is more fleshed out in the book, and so I could empathize with her more. In spite of it all, though, the two characters did have blistering chemistry, and the sex scenes were amazingly written and scorching hot. Heck, I'll read more from this author just for those alone! There were a lot of loose ends that really felt like they should have been expounded on in the story. I did like the book, and I will definitely read more from the author. I just wish that the execution had been a little tighter. Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

The only thing that frightens shapeshifter Selene Rhodes more than the full moon is the idea of falling in love. Selene Rhodes has lived her whole life with a terrible secret: not only can she take the form of any animal at will, but once a month the full moon transforms her into a fierce wolf-creature without a human conscience. Managing her condition means living by a strict routine, and more importantly, abstaining from intimate relationships with human beings. Selene is convinced that love and friendship can only bring her pain. Forensic pathologist Eve Thomas is well-acquainted with the pain of romantic love. Swearing off relationships after having her heart broken by a cheating ex, Eve throws herself into her work: catching murderers. When Selene comes to her aid after an attack by a masked man in Golden Gate Park, Eve is shocked by how powerfully she is drawn to her mysterious savior. Shaken by her own feelings for Eve, Selene is even more terrified to realize she isn't even close to being the scariest monster stalking San Francisco. There is someone out in the city who is killing for pleasure, and his next target is the one woman he thinks might be able to stop him: Eve Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

It's the story of Selene and Eve. Selene is a graphic designer, but, more importantly she is a shapeshifter, as well as turning into some sort of horrible monster (she thinks) during the full moon. Eve meanwhile is a forensic pathologist who is attacked in a park she walks in every day, and then saved by Selene in animal form.
That starts the mystery part of the story, and somewhat starts the romance part of the story. The mystery/thriller is about a killer who seems to have a very specific plan.
On the romance side, it's Selene and Eve getting very close, very fast, but then a full moon comes and Selene feels like she has to lie to Eve, and that throws a big wrench into everything between them.
OH, and there's Jac, Eve's ex (and they still work together as well) who is this consistent presence pushing for she and Eve to get back together. I thought Eve was wayy too nice to her and basically I didn't like Jac at the beginning, and I didn't lik her at the end either. Overall Jac just seemed like much more of a male character (not in a good way) than a female one.
On the other hand, the shifting stuff was awesome, and overall I really liked the novel. It was a fun read. ( )
