really liked it

I'm reviewing this series as a whole rather than each individual book.

Overall, this was a great series. Lots of action, fast paced, and very entertaining. The only thing I didn't like about it was the lead, Faythe. Since she is obviously a huge part of the book, that might have been enough to turn me off of the books altogether. However, the rest of the story and characters made up for what irked me about her.

First of all, she was supposed to be all tough and kick ass, but she came across as childish and selfish. Her whole spiel was that she wanted to be independent and to be able to make her own decisions. However, she never made any decisions. She is the most indecisive person ever! And, the independent decisions she did make always got her or someone else in trouble, so she would have to sit around wait for the big, strong male to come save her whiny ass. So much for a kick ass female lead.

Second, she was always jumping to these huge conclusions about what had happened or what was going to happen that didn't make any sense and had no factual base to them, and yet they were always somehow the right conclusions. Seriously, she had to have been part psychic. But all that conclusion jumping (and there was s lot of it going on) made the story lose some credibility for me.

However, if you just want werecat entertainment without a strong female lead, go ahead and enjoy these books. I did :) All I need to know now is...when does Jace get a book??
