*Genre* Paranormal Romance*Rating* 2.5*First Thoughts*As a fan of The Nine Lives of Chloe King, Cate Tiernan's Darkest Fear is yet another book that has let me down. This is my first experiment with one of Tiernan's books, and I am sad to say that I will most likely not continue further into this series.I am absolutely disappointed in the writing and direction that this story took. I am frustrated that such a weakly written lead character didn't do anything special to keep me excited aboutNot sure how to rate this one. Is it really supposed to end that way? That was the most abrupt ending ever.
1.5 StarsHow do I even begin this review...It's going to be more of a rant because put simply this book was a mess. I think the only thing going for it was the writing style which made it incredibly easy to actually keep reading because I honestly don't know how I even finished.The characters ... most of the secondary characters were actually pretty great and about half of them were LGBT couples which was both nice, but at the same time it felt like too much, as if she were compensating for the
Vivi, a reluctant jaguar shape shifter (haguara), is just like any other girl in that she just wants to be normal and fit in.

This is partly because she has been a sheltered teen, but also because her dual nature has to surface. In her search for answers, she ends up with her cousin in New Orleans and finds that shape shifters
This book had tons of problems. The writing was crap, there were too many characters, and the story seemed all over the place. I get that books end on cliffhangers sometimes (well, a lot), but this book wasn't even a complete story. And the cliffhanger was dumb. Oh, and Vivi's thoughts while she was a jaguar? I couldn't even read those. Those passages were SO AWFULuninteresting and poorly written.I've enjoyed Tiernan's other work, but I definitely won't continue with this series.
From lack of excitement to a protagonist I despised to a very bizarre romantic arc, I was happy to be done with this one. To paint a quick picture: the only interesting part of this book is in the blurb.Darkest Fear starts with an intriguing Jaguar Shape-shifting lore that, for the most part, is well crafted. The narrative when in Jaguar form is particularly clever. I was certain it was the promising start of an impressive series, especially when only a few chapters in, something monumental
