This is a fairly well written, fast paced novel. Riley isn’t such a bad heroin, and Hunter is obviously smokin’! Riley can’t think of any other way to get over her sister’s death than by spending the summer with her grandmother. But turns out she can shift into a black panther, along with a bunch of others in that area. Her grandmother is the leader of the pack and wants Riley to take over. Oh she’s also supposed to “mate” with Hunter.

This book was a very pleasant surprise, and I am hoping that this will be turned into a series because I would love to know more about Riley. Please hold while I go stalk the author’s site to find out…………(muzak playing)…………………………………… Ok, I don’t see anything that says there will be another. *sigh* Soraya, if you read this – please consider a continuation!! Edit/Correction: Soraya says there will be a sequel! So make sure you sign up to stalk her on Twitter and her website to get the latest and g...more

Acabei de ler “Change” a 17 de julho de 2012 e achei-a uma boa história: dou-lhe quatro estrelas.
Quando comecei a ler este livro, franzi o nariz e vacilei em dar-lhe só duas ou três estrelas. O início é demasiado apressado e as coisas voam. A autora não soube veicular bem os sentimentos nesta fase e as frases soaram-me forçadas e ditas apenas por dizer. O inimigo apresentado também não me pareceu credível e devia ter sido mais trabalhado, pois é algo deveras estranho sobre cuja natureza a...more

This book is probably perfect for some YA audiences. Unfortunately, I found Riley's internal struggle a big farce. Even though she repeatedly doubts Hunter's actions, she continues to do nothing about it. I understand she's 17, but she acts like a 12 year old (no offense, 12 year olds). I can understand her confusion and indecision, I can even give her extremely loneliness, but that's no excuse for her lack of mental processes.
Also, I found Sophie really, really weird. I don't care if you're an...more

Riley has been shipped off to her distant Gran after the tragic loss of her twin sister Claudia. Out in the middle of nowhere woods, Riley is thrust into the presence of Hunter. He’s big, strong and commanding. Then he tells Riley the stupidest thing she’s ever heard: She’s actually a shape shifting leopard and not just any leopard but the next in line leader as her Grandmother Sophia is the current matriarch. There’s more, Hunter is also her chosen mate. Being seventeen just isn’t what it used...more

I was so happy to hear from Soraya Lane that I was the winner of her blog tour giveaway ^^ But (you could hear this one coming, right?) But I’m sorry to say that this story wasn’t meant for me. I didn’t like it as much as I thought I would. The most important element was missing in the story. A must have for me to enjoy a story: the ability to bring the story alive. It remained “flat.” Every time I read a story, it becomes a 3D movie in my head. I cr...more

I enjoyed this paranormal story. The characters were believable and easy to fall in love with. Sometimes, I wanted to smack one or the other though.
The story starts out with me wondering if this was a second book in a series,since it started off talking about the loss of Riley's sister, but it wasn't and I felt a little lost at first. And leaves me wondering if there would be another book because I want there to be more, but I don't see any mention of it.

So I guess it all ends well. :D I liked Change though I still can't say I'm a fan of the way the characters acted in the beginning. I can see why they did act the way they did.... but it still felt... odd to me.
Plot was ... a little rushed and mostly focused on Riley deciding if she wanted to be with Hunter.
I would have liked to learn a little more about the world. Maybe meet a contender, another young shifter. Not necessarily a love triangle but still someone else. The only shifter we got to m...more

Change is one of my favorite shifter books that I have read this year. I never really used to be that into shifters (I was always more on the vampire end of the spectrum) so I never really read shifter books until the end of 2011, and the first few I picked up didn't wow me. I am so glad that I didn't give up on shifters because a few months ago I picked up this book and I loved it! Since reading Change I have read a few more shifter books and I have really enjoyed them all!

This book is amazing, with a brilliant story line. Even though it does tend to repeat itself and Riley's emotions tend to loop too much, it picks itself up with it's brilliant action and fluffy scenes. There is one major problem with this book, though.
There isn't a second. Not yet at least. But this book is definitely one of my very favorites, along with Hollowlands, Maximum Ride, Chaos Walking and The Thirteen series.

Riley is a 17 yr old high school senior that is trying to deal with the death of her twin sister.
She is going to her grandmothers home to try and recover from the depression she is in.
Hunter is a warrior, Soilder and destined mate to Riley..... She hust doesn't know it yet.
This was a fun YA Paranormal read. A twist on the bad guys is interesting. The romance between Riley and Hunter is sweet & Hot and great ❤

Change was a good book. All about "change" and something you find yourself going through in your life. However I don't think many of us find out that our "change" is literally changing into another form or animal as Riley finds after the death of her twin. Looking forward to reading more of this author and her books. Really enjoyable and fun.
I believe this is a stand-alone but I would like more. Perhaps there will be more?? There was a lot of teen sexual tension, some action and a lot of shifting. I do enjoy shifter books with the whole mating thing, I just wish there was... more story with it? It was a very good read, loved the characters but if there was a little bit more to the story it would have been 5 stars for sure.
Ein wirklich nettes Buch, sehr spannend und absolut weiterzuempfehlen.
Auch wenn die Details leider etwas unausgegoren waren, mit den Seelenräubern und den Guiders - aber ich gehe jetzt mal davon aus, dass das nicht die ganze Geschichte war und hoffe auf eine baldige Fortsetzung...

Other than some brief foul language, this was a great book! I loved the interchange between characters, and leopards were a nice change from werewolves and such.
Good characters interesting story line. I don't think the soul steals were explained enough which took away from the plot. The book mostly focuses on Riley learning she's a shifter and her relationship with Hunter . The soul stealers feel like more of an half thought.
Wonderful love story. I like it for a change that shape shifters are not werewolves. Is there a sequel? Cause I'm really interested to see what Riley does back home and at school. :)
I thought the book was good. I hope there might be a sequel to this series. I would like to see where Riley & Hunter end up!
I really enjoyed this quick read. I've read a lot of shifter books lately and this didn't have me rolling my eyes.
This review will be short and sweet. I loved it! I can't wait for the second book!
Liked this one - interesting take on the standard shapeshifter story.
All I can say is I hope there is a #2 to this storyline...
