Year of the Rabbit

3.5 stars rounded up.

I've read a fair share of shifter books, and this has one of the most unique take on shifters I've seen. But I'm giving three stars because although this book has an unusual shifter system, I feel like there wasn't enough explanation about what exactly is special about zodiac shifters. Given that the series is centered about zodiac shifters, there should be more detail about their history and purpose aside from having special blood and fated mates.

Plot-wise the book was pretty well-done. Going in the first part was a bit boring but it picks up speed halfway through, and has lots of action and romantic tension. Plus the book definitely deals with the darker sides of things. I was definitely not enthusiastic reading about Levy with someone outside the main couple though, even if Eliot (grudgingly)agreed to Jun doing it.
