Her friend was A N N O Y I N G as hell. Terrible. Dreadful character that I just couldn't cheer for. The lead female character also had her annoying moments. One thing about Shelly Laurenston though, she can write her butt off!

2023: Attempt #2
After 5 years and understanding what type of book to expect from this author, did enjoy this one more. It is supposed to be funny and silly. It isn't great. I wish there was more world-building or at least some information explained. Also, nothing about Sara's circumstances or change made sense to me.
Still not great and I don't think I'll ever re-read it, but I'll give the next book a try and see if it is better.

This book and I didn't click. I feel like it had some of the PNR cliches or tropes with a few interesting quirks thrown in, but I really needed more from it.

When he was so excited about her having “common sense” and “needing her to have a flaw” I gave up. The things they are finding interesting about each other are so, so basic, for the most part. I just can't.

Whoa!So... I read the honeybadger book first, and that was funny and full of honeybadgers fighting and more plot and all, and then I read this... the first book of the Shapeshifters, and whoa! This is porn! X-DQuite enjoyable, but totally what my hubby calls “tantsnusk” - “auntie smut” :-D I really can't say anything about the literary value, but, hey, this book isn't meant to be read for the literary value anyway :-D It's pure entertainment. Hotter than anything E.L.James will ever write, and it has a plot and interesting characters as well. But, boy, I wasn't expecting any of this at all :-DSo I'm a bit hysterical right now. :-DI didn't like the plot, though. I'm a cat person. I don't dislike dogs and wolves, I like all animals, but cats are my favorites. I don't like plots that make cats the villains. And I don't like the description of cats in this book. I don't like the last fight. And I don't much like the super alpha female either.So... maybe hop over a couple of books, and start reading at the [b:Hot and Badgered 35534548 Hot and Badgered (Honey Badger Chronicles, #1) Shelly Laurenston https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1513510823l/35534548.SY75.jpg 56957047]. That one was excellent. This one wasn't.
