Second in a YA Shifter Trilogy

 Scorched by Tricia Barr

 The audiobook narrators are really holding this series together. The nine thousand characters and shifting points of view are getting on my nerves. As are the constant mini cliffhangers for the end of every chapter. Plus, most of the characters get on my nerves. I understand that the majority of the characters are teenagers, but they are almost caricatures of teenagers they are so over the top. Myreen is now not only a mermaid, but also a harpy and a bear shifter. Kenzie has been accidentally dating a hunter and a vampire initiate while trying to help Laithe (and crushing on him) and trying to break the curse on Cole. Cole thinks the curse is still there because Myreen hates him, but that's just because she found out the truth from his dad instead of him. Juliette and Nick dated then broke up and are now back together, and she dated a wolf shifter while trying to get over him. Laithe has been discovered to be working against the vampire leader and now he's being punished. The military has taken over the school so they can be in charge of Myreen's training and Oberon has been kicked out because of his meetings with Laithe. Oberon, Laithe, and Kenzi's grandma are the only character's I actually like and they don't get enough screen time. Thankfully there is only one more book in this series.
