Rating: 2 stars (Did Not Finish)

Review:

The best of Pantha is seriously depressing. She somehow has the ability to change into a panther but she can't seem to figure out how to get away from the miserable life she is living. On some level it was okay when she was seeking revenge on those who had wronged her but this was really a sad and dreary group of stories that I read and I really couldn't imagine reading anymore of it.

Since these are older stories, there are languages and scenes that may go with the times such as sexism, racism, etc.

Too bad this wasn't more interesting but it wasn't.
