I knew nothing of this book except that my friend came over to my house and said hey read this and I am really glad that I did. This book was so beautifully written it had me on my toes the whole time. This story is about a shape-shifter from the legend named Isabel who suffers from memory los...

I've re-read this book more times than I count and it's still amazing every time I read it.The tricky unreliable narrator is written beautifully. Honestly, it must be so difficult to write a character with no memory of who she was, with a less than stellar personality, and a stunning lack of empathy...

This book had me from the start. It is very well written and has a great concept. It falls flat with the big reveal. I was like huh!It was very intriguing up until that point. The heroine is great and you really rout for her. The prince is kinda lame and you wonder what she sees in him.

With a push from Liz at Consumed by Books, I f...

I mean, the only background we get to Cypess' world is the whole Shifter thing, which, not to give anything away,...

Shapeshifter. Magic. Ancient power. A young girl. A very good book. Recommended.

3.5 stars First off I love the cover of this book. It is so pretty. I did enjoy this one quiet a lot.. But... I feel like it was missing something, I wanted more from it. I enjoyed the whole concept and setting, a beautiful place was created. I wanted it explored more. The characters were interesti...
