In the twenty fourth century, a scientific experiment gave a few speciesthe gift of intelligence, and after much struggle, they've carved out aplace in society. By the thirtieth century, humans find themselvesco-existing, negotiating, and residing on Earth with these animals asequals.

Maya Lawton is a lonely prostitute living in this world.She gives birth to the first halfkinds, creatures who are half animal-kind, and half mankind. Since interspecies breeding is illegal,she is forced into seclusion and raises them alone. Then one day,without warning, she dies, and her death leads to their discovery.Abandoned and lost, this family of halfkinds plan to escape to a terraformed moon. But the law is after them. The order is to kill, sentby the highest authority, the United Species Alliance.

What separates the Halfkinds series from the rest isn't only its unique premise, but also its structure. Chapters shift between the first person POV's of key characters and are presented in a non-linear fashion in order to create a mounting suspense that will keep the reader riveted until the end. Various plot twists occur within the story, and the different character viewpoints help alter the tone as you go along to give an unbiased presentation of their motives and actions. The setting allows a diverse cast of characters, some human, many not, to send a message that intelligence is a power that we take for granted,and when given to other species, the world becomes a dangerous place.

Written in a rather different style

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 11 aprile 2013

Acquisto verificato

I liked the ideas in this book set a long way in the future where animals are intelligent and live on an equal footing with humans. However the plot is more conventional with a Family being hunted by the authorities and it is largely a tale of treachery between the family members. Some of the animals are seen as stereotypes for example the pigs being greedy and the elephant being silent. It did explore a number of moral dilemmas and how events influenced actions.
I thought the author's style of telling the same episode from different view points rather than increasing the tension as intended slowed the action.
I did like the book but am not sure if the basic idea will sustain a series, this one works OK as a stand-alone as there are little in the way of loose ends, or "people" at the end.

Couldn't put it down

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 7 novembre 2013

I loved this book and couldn't put it down. The characters were great and the plot really gripped me. There were a lot of typos in the kindle version which I found a little irritating but maybe this is typical of Kindle editions? I wouldn't know as this was only the second Kindle book I've actually read. I got this version free from Amazon and immediately I finished it I rushed back to Amazon to buy the next two books in the series but I tbh I wish I had simply left it at this one as the next two books just didn't do much for me at all and I skipped over half of the third book to get to the end. I didn't like how the characters personalities changed as the books went on and found myself disliking them intensely, whilst finding the love interest a tad disturbing to say the least

Bizarre concept, but really enjoyed it.

How does it feel to spend your whole life underground with your family, with your siblings and your prostitute mother ? Hiding away, knowing that if the world outside discovers you, they will destroy you just for existing. These 11 siblings are half human half animal, results of a series of scientific experiments who have to go on the run once their mother dies. In this future earth Dogs, Cats, Lions, Wolves, Elephants have caught up with human evolution and can talk, think, rationalise and hate, just like human beings !
Not everyone survives as they are hunted down. I really enjoyed the characters and their personalities. The basic premise is family and ties and how messed up they can be. Im halfway through the sequel and riveted.

Repetitive

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 27 settembre 2013

I knew after reading a couple pages that this book was going to be bad, but i forced myself to finish it so i could give a through review.

This book felt like it was written for junior high kids. The characters were obvious with no hidden depth, and everything was laid out plainly in unnecessarily heavy and repetitive detail. However, it was pretty violent and graphic to be truly for that age group.
The author was constantly repeating chunks of info that really weren't that important to begin with. Yes, we get that this character was ugly and that one isn't that bright, you don't need to tell us every other page. Also, every character seemed to have the same type of emotions and general thoughts; if there wasn't a name at the start of each chapter i probably wouldn't know who was narrating it.

Lastly, i felt really disappointed with the story. It sounded interesting, but quickly started to go the way of a Stephen King horror novel where you just aren't sure who to root for and if it's worth becoming emotionally invested in the characters.
