Shifted by Tricia Barr
3* is probably being generous and has more to do with the skills of the audiobook narrators than the authors. First, there are approximately 9,000 characters and they all get their own chapters. Second, most of the chapters end of mini cliffhangers (what was I going to do? and then he just left...). Third, the succeeding chapter would not pick up where the previous one left off; instead it would transition to a different characters point of view. So, we have Myreen who on the one day she decides to break the rules, she becomes an orphan. Now she goes to a super secret shifter school because surprise, she's a mermaid. And not just any mermaid, but a siren. And also, the siren from the prophecy which means she is the only person that can kill the leader of the vampires. Oh, and her best friend is a selkie but the shifters don't like selkies because they use magic so bestie can't go to the super secret school. And when she gets to the school the two hottest boys both are interested in her. One, because he's a mermaid and a seer and he had a vision about them together. The other because he's a dragon and his dad (the head of the military) told him to get close to her and find out if she's really the girl from the prophecy. Also, dragon guy has a curse on his whole family that they can't fall in love because it will be unrequited. So he's super hot and cold with her. And the rest of mermaid's hate her. Also, her new bestie is a phoenix but she can't shift until they get attacked and that makes her shift because she wants to protect her friend. This book is ridiculous. There is so much drama and angst. I rolled my eyes so hard so many times.
