Was worth the time to read it, but just barely. Zoe has just learned that she's Fangborn, which means she hasn't been going crazy thinking she's turning into a Beast, but which also brings its own set of issues. She's also learning that she's the "chosen one" of prophecy to find Pandora's Box, which has significant implications for all Fangborn; but no one knows exactly what those are because oracles are famously vague.

She also has to save her cousin, Danny, from kidnappers who want Zoe to find the artifacts that will open Pandora's Box (then find the box itself) because they think they can become Other, deal with a Fangborn senior senator who wants to use the Box to reveal the Fangborn to the world, figure out who to trust in this new world she's exposed to, AND deal with the ex-boyfriend that she left because she didn't want her Beast to hurt him. Yeah, a little much for a 23/24 year-old to deal with.

If you can ignore all of the excess drama (well, not ignore, but just go with the flow), it's an enjoyable read, and the suspense does keep the pages turning. I suspect the next book will deal a bit more with Zoe's family and her somewhat unique senses; she's not quite an oracle, but more than a werewolf.
