Genre: 
Young Adult

PARANORMAL:  Snow, a wererabbit, has just saved Josh, a werewolf, from humans who have successfully arrested his ability to shift. Josh stays with Snow’s family, a motley crew of her dad, his partner, and their assistant – and finds the acceptance and appreciation lacking in his own pack. As they uncover the ring of people wanting to harm Josh, they realize that the mastermind has been a part of Snow’s past.

 

Having a wererabbit as a character is a breakaway from the normal shifters that one reads in many novels nowadays. Snow seems to be a level-headed character and Josh is described well as a boy lost, so that one can’t help but sympathize with him. While it is understandable that the author wanted to show how the mastermind was inextricably linked to Snow’s family, chapters devoted to Snow’s father detracted from Snow’s own story. In the beginning of the story, Snow indicates that she is attracted to Josh, and yet there is nothing that shows her reaction towards the person she is attracted to. There were parts of the manuscript that felt dry. When an author puts in dialogue after dialogue that does not contribute to the story, the reader will start to wonder where this is leading to.

 

There is a lot of potential for this story to become better. The author should look at making the story tighter where each chapter adds to the tension and the culmination of the story.
