Oh wait, that's what this tiger is thinking.

Here's some of what the School Library Journal actually thought:

“Fans of the first book will be clamoring for this title and will be eager to get their paws on the final book in the trilogy. Plus, tiger fans will enjoy going ‘beyond the story’ at the end of the novel and learning some facts and proverbs about the great cat.”

There's no link online to it, since it's published in their magazine, but you get the idea.

I'm especially glad that they're pointing out the tiger facts/quotes/info I included at the end, because I'm pretty zealous about preserving the tigers and other big cats in the wild. Any and all education that gets out about that makes me very happy.

Speaking of which, if you sign up at TigerTime here, you'll get info on how you can help save tigers, without weird spam emails or any of that nonsense.

Let the OTHERMOON Countdown Begin!

Holy moly, the second book in the OTHERKIN series - OTHERMOON - will be out next fricking Tuesday! That's four days and mumble mumble minutes!



To keep me from going insane until then, here are some of the reviews it's been getting. And hell yes I put it large font! Wouldn't you?

“Berry’s second Otherkin novel is suspenseful and action packed. Dez is a strong, smart protagonist whom readers will root for, as she tries to stay true to herself. There are layers of deeper meaning here, hidden amidst an entertaining shapeshifter YA. ” – RT Book Reviews, 4.5 stars

 The full review from RT will be out in their March issue.

“Plenty to enjoy in the action-packed sequel… Fans of the series and new readers alike will find themselves anxiously turning pages… On the surface, this appears to be a novel meant to satisfy ravenous paranormal-fantasy fans looking for an exciting read with a hearty order of romance on the side. While it certainly fills the bill, there’s depth here that shouldn’t be overlooked. Dez wrestles with real-life issues about identity and belonging, about trust and loyalty, and about friendship and love that will resonate with teen readers across genres.” – Kirkus Reviews 

The full Kirkus review is great and you can see it here.

 School Library Journal got around to reviewing OTHERKIN, and I'm so glad they did! Their full review will be out in their 2/2013 issue.

 “Readers will be swept away by the romance and paranormal elements of this debut tale..” – School Library Journal  

Thanks for putting up with me blabbing about my good reviews. I'm girding my loins, battening down the hatches, and peeling eggs (don't ask) in preparation!
