About this audiobook
When free-spirited werecat Yoshi sets out to find his missing sister, he's shocked to discover that she's the key suspect in a murder investigation. Meanwhile, sarcastic werepossum Clyde and his human pal Aimee have set out to do a little detective work of their own, sworn to avenge the brutal killing of a friend.
When all three are snared in an underground kidnapping ring, they end up on a remote tropical island ruled by a species that's unusual even by shape-shifter standards. The island harbors a grim secret, and were-predator and were-prey must join forces in a fight to escape alive.
"Smith takes readers back to the universe of the Tantalize quartet with this sexy, fast-paced new novel." -Booklist
"Expertly blends the mythical and the modern…. Entertaining and clever." -Publishers Weekly
"Smith's blend of supernatural suspense, campy humor, and romantic tension is addictive." -The Horn Book

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I am totally digging this series as of book 1! The only issue I had was the timeframe for all that was going on...it seemed like a few days, but it could have been the entire summer...unsure of that as it was never really discussed. Otherwise, fast paced and action packed! On to book #2!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Overall good story even if a little out there. The writing was very YA.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This companion novel to the Tantalize quartet reintroduces supporting characters from the earlier novels now in leading roles, werecat Yoshi, human Aimee, and werepossum Clyde. Yoshi comes to Austin, Texas to find his sister Ruby, who he learns is wanted for murdering Travis, a werearmadillo, by the police, as well as by Clyde and Aimee, who were close friends with him. Aimee and Clyde want to avenge Travis’s death. Clyde has a crush on Aimee and Aimee crushes on ladies-werecat Yoshi. Told in alternating chapters by each of the trio, Yoshi convinces Aimee and Clyde that Ruby had nothing to do with the murder and they follow clues to find out where she is when they are ambushed and kidnapped. They are brought to a tropical island somewhere in the Pacific where the shapeshifters will be hunted by wealthy people who pay a lot for the privilege and Aimee will serve the Yeti-like sentient creatures that run the “Homo deific” enterprise. Aimee and the other kidnapped workers repeat a mantra in English or Spanish: “Every day, in every way I will contribute to the profit margin of Homo deific.” The satisfying climax resolves some of the aforementioned issues and Clyde discovers something interesting about himself that helps save them. The character development is strong and the dialogue is sharp and funny which will draw in fans of this new series.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5this book was an interesting read about werecreatures and others finding who killed one of their kind. I would be cautious about recommending this book for younger teens though because of some references to sex. all in all not a bad read.
