Shadow's Edge (Night Prowler, #1)

by J. T. Geissinger

Deep within the primeval forests of southern England, a race of beautiful, savage shape-shifters lives hidden from the everyday world. Bound together by ancient bloodlines and a ruthless code of secrecy that punishes traitors with death, the Ikati send their leader Leander on a mission to capture one raised outside the tribe before she can expose their secret. When Leander tracks the unsuspecting outsider to Southern California, the hardened warrior is prepared for a fight—but not for the effect the sensual young beauty has on his heart.

Jenna spent her childhood in hiding, on the run from someone—or something—her parents refused to discuss. She trusts no one, not since her father’s mysterious disappearance, not since her mother’s sudden death, and definitely not since she began exhibiting strange, superhuman abilities. When handsome, enigmatic Leander appears, promising answers to the mysteries that shroud her past, she knows she shouldn’t trust him either. But their connection is undeniable, and as powerful as the enemy hell-bent on destroying every one of their kind…

I listened to the audiobook version of this story and did not like Justine Eyre's presentation at all. I felt that she was moaning the entire presentation dialogue. I complained several times how hard it was to finish the story and how I wanted to toss my ipod out the window. She has been replaced for the remaining novels. I would definitely suggest you read this one.

I can't be 100 percent certain that my dislike for this story was just the narration or the plotline and the characters. I didn't like either the Leander or Jenna and I had plot issues such as why anyone would bother persecuting shifters when they already segregate themselves far away from humans. Shifter? Let's round them up and put them in camps...or they already live on a separate compound? And they don't let their people mingle with humans? Then who cares?

I already purchased the digital copy/audiobook of the next two books on a Amazon promotion so I probably will listen to them eventually.
