This is the first of the Breeds series that I've read, and I thought it was pretty good. I never seem to read books in order, mostly because I borrow from the library...and they are really lacking in some areas. So, I enjoyed it a lot more than those who have read the whole series because it was fresh for me. I love shifter stories that have a background in science (does that make sense?) and this one really did it for me. Cabal was pretty sexy, although I wanted to kick his ass through the whole book. He's infuriating. He's sexy. He's an arrogant ass. He's sexy. You get the idea. And is it just me, or does the guy on the cover look way too much like Brad Pitt? Sorry, but I really don't want to imagine Cabal as Brad Pitt...it's just wrong. 
 Overall, I liked the book and will probably read a few more in the series, but I'm not exactly in love with it.
