Alpha by Rachel Vincent My rating: 4 of 5 stars This is the final book in Rachel Vincent's Werecat's series. And to be honest, even though I've had some troubles with the books over the course of the series, I obviously liked it enough to read them all, and to my surprise, I want to read them again! I want to experience the whole story again! And that to me, is one part of a great series. So this book starts off almost exactly where the last ends.

Charlotte decides to go with Richard to help rid the world of slavers, and hopefully end the evil of the slave trade in the Weird. But Charlotte is fighting a losing battle with her magic.
