Written in Red

If I could, this book would receive more than 5 stars. Wow, just wow! Anne Bishop has taken American history and turned it inside out to create a whole new world. She's created a race of terra indigene who lived in America before the settlers. They are beasts/monsters who hold a human form for the sake of the actual humans they must live beside. However, the beast side is definitely dominate as we see with each character Meg encounters when she seeks refuge with them. Hidden away from the man who once controlled her, Meg must win her place among the terra indigene who only see humans as meat. I loved seeing the struggle between human and others (as humans call them). The clash of cultures was brilliantly written, showing the true struggle for the two different sides to understand each other. There was comedy, action, mystery and progressive character development. Everything I look for in a book. I suppose it helps that I could barely stop reading when I started as well! Can't wait to dive into the next one!
