Between 3.5 and 4.0 stars....
I've enjoyed Adrian Phoenix's Hoodoo and Maker series so I was very excited to get my hands on a review copy of Thinning the Herd. I was not disappointed. In fact, Thinning the Herd was a pleasant surprise full of quirky characters in hilarious situations.
Hal Rupert is an Animal Control Officer, though sometimes the animals he wrangles aren't necessarily the usual lost kitty or rabid dog. Instead, he controls some of the shifter population in his town. When someone starts kidnapping hippies, Hal goes to work accompanied by his shifter pals Nick and Galahad.
Hal is hilarious. His unrequited love (and possibly stalking) for the lovely but Goth Desdemona made for some humorous exchanges.
Thinning the Herd was an fun read. I'm hoping to read more books by this author in the future.
Thank you to NetGalley and Gallery Threshold Pocket Books for a review copy of this book.

My first impression for Hal right at the moment I read this is...he's so creepy and narcissistic :/

Also he is able to make friends with Nick and Galahad so I kind of wrote off his "mating" behavior as geeky rather than stalker. I think you'll like him by the end of the book.
Alas, I failed to sympathize with Hal, because I think until the end, he still creepy. I like Galahad, tho.
Oh well. Have you read her other series? Black Dust Mambo was a better book - I had to chuckle as the main character spends most of the book in her underwear.
