What do you mean, it's over? 
 Well, it isn't over, Nenia's just queen of the gorram cliff hangers! 
 This book has it all. Intrigue. Magic. Mystery. Creepy assholes who will likely get their comeuppance because it's Nenia. You'll just have to wait, because it's a series. 
 So, disclaimer: I beta read this for Nenia. If you're worried I'm biased, you might want to read my reviews of Fearscape and Cloak & Dagger first, because Nenia knows I don't hold back. If I don't like something, I lay it out there and try my best to explain it. 
 But I LOVE Black Beast. 
 I love the world Nenia's crafted - shifters and witches and slayers and vampires. I love the characters - especially David, my god, he's too perfect! And even Finn. He's so deliciously terrible. And Rupert Grint should play him in the movie :x. 
 This first book is like...the introduction of all the tendrils that will come together throughout the series. But that fact doesn't detract from it - like, there's a plot here, and though it's more like the first instalment of a serialized work, it works. 
 Well done, Nenia. Well done. I look forward to the next instalment. 
 And finding out wtf is up with the kitten!
