Let's talk covers. This cover is cool. It's interesting and not overwhelming and the concept isn't overdone. I'll say it now and I'll say it again, I ALWAYS judge a book by it's cover.  So far as covers go, I give this 4/5 stars

Now the book. The meat. The story. I'm 40% done with this book and while the writing is really good, descriptive and visual, I'm afraid I have to stop for one simple reason: Too much swearing.
I can handle some language in my books, but my curiosity regarding the outcome of the story is outweighed by my discomfort. 
Maybe I'll try to finish it later, meanwhile, I'm starting a new book. 
Also, the POV switches are a little bit much, though I think POV changes tend to be that way, and all things considered LYNN does a fantastic job. 
If swearing doesn't phase you and you like shape-shifter stories, you'll probably love this book.  It's well-written and I just wish the language was a little toned down.

Disclaimer: I read an e-copy of this book. I hate reading e-copies in general so it's likely that had I been reading it in print, I would have 1- finished it and 2- liked it more. 
3/5 stars
