This really does remind me of Melissa Marr’s work, especially since the plot has a lot to do with evil fairy folk—the pixies. There’s the tiny bit of originality with the combination of weres (as in werewolves, etc.) and the characters are only slightly better than Marr’s work. The protagonist here was quirky, which I would have normally loved, but she was too quirky that she became inconsistent. It was like every time I turned the page, I got another version of Zara that wasn’t the real Zara. I know, tres confusing. Awkward writing. The dialogue, especially, was just terrible. It felt rushed and inconsistent. The transitions left me utterly clueless about what they were talking about. The awkward phrasing of their conversation made me feel like they were either 5 year olds trapped in a teenager’s body, or a grown up trapped in a kid’s body. The storyline, in general (despite it’s tidbit of unique-ness) was a bit confusing. More could have definitely expanded on the pixie legend, and the past of the parents. You’d think that sine Zara was so obsessive about her father’s death that she might question his role as a were in Maine, or even be a bit more outraged that so many secrets had been kept from her. Or, you’d at least expect a bigger reaction when she realized that fantastical creatures actually existed. I mean, wouldn’t you, especially if you’re a non-believer
