Shadow bloodlines had an interesting main character and a fairly decent idea. There are secret shifter bloodlines and people are hunting them. Our main character is a superb swimmer who is dragged into this world when a new teacher tries to kill her. Running, she falls off a building and is saved by a stone gargoyle who turns into designated love interest to catch her.
This book could have been wonderful, there is some really good ideas in there and I loved that her best friend had secrets of her own.
But I didn't love this book. The writing is occasionally immature, which hurts the narrative and the instalove is very strange. I also thought the forced naivety of the heroine was also a little strange.
All in all and intriguing morsel. I would say give it a whirl and see.
