**I received this book for free from the author in exchange for an honest review, Goodreads.com**

Okay, I’m going to start this review by saying thank you so much to the author for contacting me and asking me to review this book I have actually gone out straight away and bought book 2 ‘missy goes to west point’ from amazon Uk so you chose a good person to review it. 

I thought this book was fantastic in the way to draws you in creating a brilliant character that it is easy to love and then adds onto that character to make her even more lovable and at the same time scarily strong and kick ass. This book was so superbly written that I actually flew through it being unable to put it down (almost missing my stop on the train) it was an easy read while at the same time making me absolutely desperate to read more.

The main character as mentioned in the title is Missy. The book starts off with Missy aged 13 at a sports camp, she suddenly feels the urge to go outside where she transforms into a mountain lion. She spends two years of her life learning how to control her changes while her family think the worst before turning up far away from home after saving a family from what would have been a fatal car accident. Missy then struggles with reintroducing herself into her family and society after living in the mountains for so long. In my opinion this is a book about a young girl struggling with keeping a huge secret from everyone she loves while also trying to save the world in the most kick ass way. In short I absolutely loved this character, I found her to be a refreshing and unlike the normal heroine in the best ways.

The secondary characters who I felt added to this storyline include but are not limited to Alice, Mom and Dad, Mike and Robert. Alice is a girl who when Missy meets is suffering horrendous problems at home, when Missy saves Alice from some even more severe mental scarring it is fated that they are bound to be best friends; I think Alice is a great influence on Missy’s character as she is in my opinion a very normal girl. Mom and Dad who fear the worst after Missy’s absence for two years are only too happy to let her back into their lives embracing her in spite of her secrets, they are exactly what any girl would wish their parents were like. Mike is the love interest in Missy’s life he is open and honest with Missy as far as we can tell, I think Mike is a major milestone in missy’s life which she felt she had to accomplish and that she does. Robert is the FBI agent in charge of Missy’s missing person case, he is also a stable influence in her family’s life and Missy’s too as he remains in contact with her even after she has been established as not missing, he is also influential in helping Missy kick ass on at least one occasion. 

The pacing was brilliant, it was seamless flowing perfectly throughout the book offering more than one high thriller moment as well as romantic ones. I loved the overall sense of doom throughout the book by the small mentions of the ‘P’ branch of the FBI and their interest in Missy, I found this quite thrilling in itself and hope it will be more thoroughly mentioned in other books.

The storyline was original offering up a story unlike anything I have read before while at the same time not straying too far from my normal genre/ genres of choice. 

5 stars, I absolutely loved this book and will read book 2 just as soon as I have the time. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for an easy/ action packed book and anyone who loves a fantastic female lead character.
