Blurb:

Free from Benoit, the man who made him a shifter, twenty-two-year old Jacks tries to get on his own two feet while crashing with Farzan, the only person who knows about his werecat nature.

Then one day a raid on a bodega pushes Jacks to transform into his mountain lion self to fend off a group of gun-wielding gangbangers. Jacks scrambles to disguise the truth, but the incident leaves a thundering wake of questions. The police want to know what really happened to a freaked-out young thug in custody. Farzan, who has been crushing hard on Jacks since they met, begins to doubt that it’s safe to have Jacks living with him. Jacks wants to know where he belongs: with the man who took him in when no one else would or among his own kind.

As he searches for answers, Jacks is confronted by a secret shifter society called The Glaring. They have come to avenge the death of Jacks’ maker and to claim a powerful item that Benoit left behind.

  

Review:

Jacks is coming into his own a bit and we get to learn a little bit more about him and Farzan. We’re left with a lot of questions though. Who really is The Glaring? What in the world are they after?

Since book one and two are shorter it would be nice to get The Rearing and the The Glaring together in one book. Hopefully the author is working on the next installment so that readers will finally be able to find out what exactly is going on.

Blurb:

For Jacks Dowd, a college senior who feels ungrounded from his family and life in general, an alcohol and sex-infused weekend in Montréal sounds like a pretty good escape. His Spring Break binge takes a detour when he meets Benoit, an admiring drifter with startling green eyes. A hook-up turns into a day, two days, and then a full week in Benoit's hostel, making love and scarfing down take-out food. But at the end of the week, Benoit demands that Jacks make an impossible choice: stay with him forever, or go back to college and never see him again.

Review:

This book has lots of going back and forth between the past, how Jacks met Benoit and the present. There is an interesting story line and I enjoyed the history of how the werecats came about. I knew there were going to be some possession issues when another character named Farzan came into the picture. One thing that was confusing to me and bothered me a little was that cats are very clean animals in real life. In this story the author has Jacks and Benoit living in an abandoned warehouse and no shower and  Jacks is dirty and unkempt. Not a huge thing, but it stuck out at me while reading this. I’m looking forward to reading the second installment to see what happens next.
