Synopsis from Goodreads:

After a weekend party gone very, very wrong, third-year university student Jasmine Bedeau finds herself a "person of interest" to far too many interested parties. Now she has to bring a family-inherited curse—and powerful new abilities—under control or risk the consequences of the supernatural community to which she suddenly belongs. But between the police and the paranormal, the campus and the council, how's a girl to rise to the challenge of just holding onto a normal life? Werewolves, vampires, and witches—and now a serial killer targeting the supernatural, setting his sights on Jasmine and her new-found friends. It's a good thing she's a werecat, because she's not rolling over.

My review:

My first thoughts on this one? More please! I can’t wait to read the next instalment in the series and get back with these characters.

This story is intensely shocking and captivating from the very beginning. Walker combines the known world, with that of the supernatural to create a captivating work that you won’t be able to put down. She introduces you to this imaginative world slowly, allowing her readers to get to know it alongside her characters. It makes the world even more captivating and difficult to walk away from. This author is an ace at balancing tension and suspense with comic relief. Some of the puns that she throws in at the least opportune moments (for the characters, at any rate) had me rolling on the floor laughing.

The way that the author writes so approachably in the first person makes the main character very easy to get to know and identify with. You also get to know the supporting cast through her eyes, giving a very personal feel to the story as a whole. You also get to know them as part of a family. The diversity in character types really rounded everything out nicely.

As a whole this is a smooth, quick read that you won’t be able to put down. It was the perfect way to get to know this author and her work. It was a brilliant story that I’d recommend to anyone.
