Waking the Beast

This story was hot hot hot! I enjoy shifter books but this one was so unique in that the guy didn’t know he was a shifter! I thought it was very intriguing, very original. We kinda get an HEA but the storyline continues in the next book because they don’t catch the head bad guy. Loved Abby. Loved Tah!

*****Spoilers*****

Perhaps more a 2.5 but there was too much going on and the pieces weren't really fitting together well especially in the beginning of the book. Tah had hooked up with other women before he and Abby were a thing, considering her off limits but fantasizing about her while he did it but she's always been for him since they met. Abby is chasing after a story of the lost tribe of lion spirit people and finds Tah and is all in love but it's really the dream she's been chasing and not really who Tah is himself. Abby is virginal and doesn't want to be Tah's hookup in a cheap motel for her first time only to quickly change her tune a few pages later and can't deny him.

The reasoning behind the decisions made in the book were questionable. I still don't know why Abby was caged with Tah at the beginning of the book, made no sense to me. At all because there's no mention of her purpose there. After reading the book, perhaps it's to bring the lion to the surface. Harlan was a close relative to Abby's dad but not sure how, maybe he's her uncle, but he has been following Abby across Africa and also somehow finds her at a cabin in the woods and manages to get to her despite there being several shifter people there, all with enhanced senses. How in the world did Harlan plus five other men with him do that? Nonsensical.

The story moves fast, Abby and Tah are in love and going at it like rabbits. It's definitely got some steam to it but not too much else is thought out enough to make it a better read.

It had good elements of story but got lost in the porn. So sad......I also don't like being told how long to make my review; AMAZON!

Abby has been obsessed by a myth of men having a lion inside them since she was a child, she has researched all her life and she finds Tah. Tah is her destiny, but destiny is a bitch. Read about Abbys and Tahs adventure and finding ones mate. Good read, definitely want the rest of the story.

Abby had been searching by her whole life for a lion shifter. Tau was the man she felt was the lion shifter.

Nice paranormal read, with a different take on the emerging shifter. It kept my attention and I couldn’t put it down. Glad I chose the novel!

I may be more judgemental than i should be, as it is not my usual genre. But at least i read it to the end. So it is what it is.

This was very well written. Ended up finishing it in 2 days because I couldn’t stop reading it. I guess I’ll have to check out the rest of the series now!
