Urban fantasy is one of my favourite sub-genres of fantasy. It isn’t easy to find a book in urban fantasy that also isn’t from one of two or three authors.
Werecats Emergent is a book that sounds very interesting and when I was asked by the author if I would read the book I went to download it from kindle unlimited. Just reading the blurb had me hooked.
I do like the fact that the author makes the time to talk about the culture as well of the characters since it adds that extra little bit of reality to a fantasy novel.
I really like the start of this book and how it shows that emotional turmoil can start to cause changes in people. Pawly is afflicted by something and it’s nothing she was ever told about. The secret could ruin her very life.
It feels like a young adult style of book and I think that suits it better. They show a teen lifestyle and what can happen through the rage and the uncertainty of youth.
I enjoyed the story and think that it was kind of cute and Iove the shifter style and that it wasn’t a standard shifter like a werewolf but deals with a cat which is much more interesting.
The story felt soft at times where the story didn’t seem to match the characters. Don’t get me wrong it wasn’t often but I definitely felt that it could have been handled a bit better at times.
I am impressed by the writing style but mid way through I kind of felt that the story was stalled. I don’t think it actually was it is just my perception of the story. It seemed that not much was happening and that the werecat part of the story was second place to other aspects. Don’t get me wrong it isn’t bad just I always figure with this type of urban fantasy that it’s much more action oriented because of the change that happens to these people. I am in no means an expert on this style though as I tend to prefer vampires over werebeasts.
Overall this is a solid book and definitely I will read more from this series as well as from this author.
