Misfit Pack: The Misfit Series, Book 1

I really wanted to like this book. The story has a good premise and it was interesting to me when I saw the description. It looked like something that hadn't been done before.And that's the best part. The story as a concept is really great. Three werewolves who don't want to be werewolves have to learn to deal with this new life they have. And for an independently-published book, it has impeccable grammar and punctuation. I only caught one typo near the end, so kudos to the author for the editing!It moves SO FAST though. Too fast. You want a book to keep you in the action, but the story kinda goes from "Oh no, we're werewolves" to "yes we understand how this works" in the first couple chapters. There's little learning experience. The innate understanding doesn't feel natural, even with Amber's backstory. I feel like something is missing here. Problems are introduced and solved within a few pages, too, not just at the beginning, but through the whole book, which leaves little intrigue.I feel like with all the material here, the book could have been split into two volumes, adding a good deal more to each and slowing the narrative down just a little.Splitting the book might have also helped me connect to the characters a little more. There's little meta that really helps me get into their minds, and in the end, I don't particularly feel a connection to any of them. The book relies on rejection very heavily as a plot device to make the reader pity the characters, but there's too much of it. All the main characters are estranged from their families, either from the beginning or through the book, and this plot point just feels cobbled together rather than important to the story.Anyway... The story is good, but it needs a bit of work with pacing and character development.

For a novel with a pace that moves like a tornado through a trailer park, the characters are remarkably well done. The plot hits the characters repeatedly about the head and body in a frenzy of life altering events and yet the author manages to weave their history, personality, and desires into the whirlwind without it seeming like a cheap coat of paint on a card board cut out.This is not the story for anyone who likes to stop and savor the scents of the garden, or smell the damn roses. Nope, this is dodging the debris in the tornado. Overall, the characters are solid enough to carry the story. Consistent, likable, and you want them to survive from the moment you meet them. The plot is simple enough to be the storm shelter in the tornado but without any real villains - the "bad guys" aren't really bad and I found the "villains" to be more speed bumps that real villains. The whole novel revolves around the characters coming together for survival against the impersonal systems that society has in place to deal with people like them. Only yesterday they were completely different people. But today, they are different and now they have to play by a different set of rules, and of course nobody bothered to write those rules down.This is the first book in the series, and I liked the second book as well.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Misfit Pack. It takes the werewolf storyline in a fresh and interesting direction. None of the members of the pack chose to become werewolves, it was just something that kind of happened to them. Now this small group of total strangers suddenly has to learn to bond together to navigate and survive the world of supernaturals. The characters themselves are well thought out and well developed. They grabbed my interest right away and held onto it for the duration of the story. The world building is also top notch. The scenery and the various groups that inhabit it feel natural and believable. There is plenty of action and it's nicely paced. There are also plenty of unanswered questions to keep my interest for the next story. I would definitely recommend Misfit Pack.

This is a great book.It is a fantastic read, and a great ‘opener’ to a new series. If you love the Dresden Files, but are wondering what to read while Jim Butcher writes his next book, this might be the series for you.The opening premise is simple: three individuals are all bitten by a Werewolf while attending a concert. Now that they are werewolves, they have to learn how to fit in to the structure of werewolf society. The (previously) strangers are now bound together into a pack because of the events at the concert. Unfortunately, under shifter law, their actions are illegal. This pack of misfits must now navigate supernatural political intrigue, whilst trying to survive various attacks on their employment, their housing, and their very lives!Each character is well defined, and likeable. Each character has flaws as well as strengths, and each has an interesting back story that may lead to interesting plot lines in future books. There are a number of interesting and arcane questions that are posed (but not answered) in this book. Obviously, these questions will be resolved in future books within the series. I’m already waiting for the next book in the series, to see how the author will answer these questions.I LOVE this book!!! I don’t want to wait for the next book - I want to read it right now!If you like books with a supernatural theme, and a deft sense of humour, then purchase this book right now!!!!!

I will definitely be buying book 2.I really loved the way book was written from each character.Very easy and enjoyable book to read .Looking forward to see how each character developsThank you for writing such a good bookI wish I could score 4.5 as it is such a good read .However I think it loses .5 as we are just getting to know everybody.I can’t see how you could improve the book though ,maybe I’m just being grumpy.It a really good werewolf fantasy book so I would definitely buy it ,and glad I did !Thank you x

I've given this series a 3 star instead of a 4 star simply because this series can potentially go pear shaped or become a great one to read. This feeling isn't anything bad or base on this first book per se.This is the first book of this series and it's a really good read. I really like the main character Amber and all the other supporting characters too.My hope is the author will provide all the answers left unanswered in the next book. Instead of trying to drag that suspense out and try to make a big massive plot out of them. Because if all are answered then it's going to be a great series. If dragged out and unanswered it's going to be a frustrating series and I don't do frustrating. I love the tough and the grits, the angst and the twists. But no drags. To be a book that drags just shows bad style.I'll gamble and hope for the best. I'll buy the second book as well. Go AMBER & the MISFITS PACK x

If this is your first "taste" of Stephanie Foxe you will not be disappointed. Even though I don't normally read shifter novels I loved this book. The story, and the way the characters interplay are a joy to read and I wish I'd discovered her earlier.If you too hadn't found Stephanie Foxe before give this a go. I can guarantee you'll love her.

Sadly I have now read all books and enjoyed series so much am struggle to find something else to enjoy ss much

Can't recommend enough! Really, really enjoyed it.
