I like the story and the idea of it but I am having problems with way it is written. There is nothing wrong with first person writing, but the way that the author has it formatted out is awkward, I am going to continue my reading on it because like I said I like the idea of the story. One particular part that got me is in chapter one. "My stomach grumbles loudly enough to resemble seismic activity. I sigh, tug on my clothes, and sneak downstairs to refuel on food. After eating a bagel sandwich, I climb back into my bed, my cocoon.
My stomach is full, but I still feel hungry. Sleep refuses to come."

The part about going to get something to eat and then climbing back into bed is one paragraph and then the stomach part is a paragraph of it's own and it is only one sentence.

Other then the format of how it is written, it is a good story.

Other Karen Kincy Books Reviews

More graphic than most YA's, this is an exciting, well thought out story. As a Christian, I had to deal with the portrayal of Christians, but they clearly have a different Bible in this alternate universe. There is a lot of sadness in this story, as well as tender romantic and friend love. The characters are complex and avoid stereotypes. Hot issues are expertly handled. There are several good twists. I didn't guess the villain, and I usually do. I thought the villain' s motive was interesting.
This is my second favorite book in the Other trilogy. This is the first book in the Other trilogy about a half pooka named Gwen and her struggles in a world where Others are looked down upon. What can I say about this book that hasn't been talked about before? Well, It has plenty of mythological creatures in it. Some you have to look in descriptions to see such as selkies. The plot is good being centered in a who-did-it kind of plot. I like the twist of the Mythological creature lore in the book.
Other explores shapeshifters not often seen in Young Adult or Adult paranormal novels. I don't think I had ever heard of a Pooka until reading the synopsis of Other. Add in the mysterious guy who can turn into a fox, and I was immediately intrigued by the uniqueness of this book.

Other features a nice mix of mystery, suspense, and romance. I did find the identity of the serial killer predictable, but I still felt the need to keep reading in order to confirm my suspicions. At times I felt like the author was trying too hard to make all the secondary characters look guilty, but it still didn't help to prevent me from figuring out the whodunit element early in the novel.

I did really like Gwen. Some might find her insecurities and judgmental attitude frustrating, but I thought her feelings and emotions made her genuine. She is struggling with normal teen issues as well as learning about her Pooka side. With her birth father absent and a mother and stepfather who are 100% human, she had no one to turn to for answers. I can't even imagine how overwhelming that must be. I also adored foxy boy Tavian. He was just so sweet. The sweet guys rarely win my affections, but this time I was smitten. I also liked seeing the side of Gwen he brought out. It was obvious how desperately she needed someone who understood her otherness in her life.

I really enjoyed the author's descriptive style of writing when it came to describing places, people, and action, but found some of the dialogue a little awkward. It just didn't flow as nicely as the rest of the novel, and I found the need to re-read some scenes. It seemed like I was reading what Gwen was saying, but what she was thinking wasn't clear. The conversations also ended abruptly at times, and the author would move to another scene before the previous one felt complete.

I did have a few minor issues with Other, but I still enjoyed the characters and the fascinating world the author created quite a bit. I liked how different this novel was from others in the same genre. I'll definitely read the next in the series, and I won't have to wait long to experience more because Bloodborn releases on September 8th.

Cover Thoughts I have to comment on how perfect this cover is for Gwen's story. It is such an amazing match not only for Gwen's appearance, but also the descriptions of the town she lives in.
This alternate reality story was a fun take on the issues of diversity, acceptance, and discrimination. What if we lived in a world where fantasy creatures had recently "come out" and declared their uniqueness, struggling to be accepted as part of the general population?

I liked the character conflicts. To me, the struggles felt human and very close to home, but at the same time, the fantasy element kept me entertained. The red herrings didn't keep me from putting the pieces together long before the end, but I do admit I was slightly off base in my guess of the villain.

A pretty good read, but be warned...

Content warning Language, innuendo, premarital sex (partially closed door), and nondescript nudity. (Hey, they shift into other creatures. Clothes can be a problem.)
