I am sorry to my friend here on Goodreads who recommended this to me! I truly thought this book was awful! It reminded me a lot of the only other book I gave one star to: Firelight by Stephanie Jordan. In some ways these two books were similar: the writing was juvenile and not well developed, and the main female characters were unbearably stupid and made stupid decisions. Okay, what girl decides to "take on" a group of older boys whom she knows are dangerous? She might have a chance if she shapeshifted into something cool, but no, she's dumb and eggs them on. Also, what does this writer have against Christianity? I was raised Catholic and have lapsed a bit in my ways, and I am tolerant of other views and religions and even endorse some, but this book made me taken aback. Her ex and his family are rich, quiet, bible-thumpers who send out pamphlets and are racist? Oh, and they pay no mind to their sons who hunt, buy chains, stalk girls, or are obviously doing un-Christian things. Premarital sex? The ex doesn't even bat an eye. No Christian guilt there. These characters were so stereotypical! Not just the Christian family, everyone was a stereotype with no depth. Oh, the Japanese-American kid turns into a kitsune, likes udon and reads manga. STEREOTYPE (says the girl who reads manga and loves udon...) Anyways! I like Tavian, he was alright, but no one in this book made me care about anything and the only feelings I had were slight offense at the stereotypes. Oh well, I'm doing good if this is only the second book I didn't like.
