\"\"<\/a>Huh. This is a reread, but I can’t find my original review.<\/p>\n

Dali is a very rare White Were-Tiger. Jim, is alpha of Clan Cat and security chief for Atlanta’s Pack leader Curran. If you’re read any of the Kate Daniels books, you’re familiar with Jim. Dali, however, is something of an anomaly among shape shifters. She’s small, she’s weak, and she can’t see without thick glasses. She’s also a magic user–a trait that is almost as rare as her were-shape.<\/p>\n

Dali has been in love with Jim for awhile, but because she is small and weak and feels she contributes little to the pack, she believes she has no chance with Jim and so both worships him from afar and goes out of her way to disobey him.<\/p>\n

I love the Ilona Andrews short stories set in Kate Daniels’ world, and this is no exception.
\nRating: 8\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n
