While I found the world-building interesting, trying to follow the story was incredibly confusing as relationships and the society itself weren't well explained, and the story moved along very rapidly before I fully understood what was going on.

The slave auction didn't seem like much of a slave auction when I hadn't noticed any bidding, and the extra shifter that followed Raven's claimed slave home came out of nowhere and was just accepted by Raven without much protest. It took a good 25% of the book before Jackson's backstory was explained and why he was following Taggert around. The whole shifter mating and pack joining seemed to have new arbitrary rules added every few chapters and seemed to be a bunch of poorly planned out details.

The concept of Raven's house of misfits was also a huge mass of confusion to me. Was Raven the boss or was Dominic the boss? Where did all the shifters live usually if they only lived in Raven's house for short stints of time? Is Dominic supposed to be a love interest of Raven? Why is he and London the bear shifter the only ones that keep showing up in the nick of time? Then there's Rylan the deadly vampire - his background with Raven was glossed over in a few sentences, and his appearance in critical scenes are quite unpredictable.

Raven's conduit abilities were another pretty poorly explained plot point. Her deadly ability had to deal with lots of electricity and hoarding it from the environment, but she also couldn't control it because of... personal reasons? mental reasons? just reasons? She somehow also ended up with a ton of shifter animals inside of her from experimentation in the labs and they do... something? They're somehow vital to tying different shifters she encounters into her pack for safety reasons? What shifter animals does she have inside her anyways? And just to add to the chaos, let's also give Raven some vampire-like and necromantic abilities that had to be a *big secret* that would pop up every few chapters for some random purpose?

Raven seemed to just be along for the ride throughout the whole book, pushed around like a leaf in a current by the other men in her life, rather than a bad-ass alpha chick that set the course of action as she was portrayed to be with all these god-like special abilities. I'm giving this book a marginal 3-star since I do like what I understand about the characters and the world but very unenthusiastically since the book was very poorly paced and the plot poorly implemented.

Continuing with the next book to see if it improves.
