Oath Sworn (Jacky Leon Book 1) Kindle Edition
I didn’t ask to be a werecat. I didn’t ask for the responsibility to uphold an ancient treaty. I didn’t ask to get pulled into the middle of a werewolf pack’s coup.
But Carey Everson, the very human daughter of a werewolf Alpha, needs me. Her father’s enemies are on her heels and I’m her last defense. And I’ll be that defense until my final breath, even if it means challenging the very Laws that govern the supernatural. I gave her my word.
My name is Jacky Leon and nothing is going to stop me from honoring my word.
The Jacky Leon series is an Urban Fantasy series with a slow-burn romance.

About the author
K.N. Banet loves to read books that make people cry. She likes to write books that make people cry (and she wants to hear about it). She’s a firm believer that nothing and no one in this world is perfect, and she enjoys exploring those imperfections—trying to make the characters seem real on the page and not just in her head.
She might just be crazy, though. Her characters think so, but this can’t be confirmed.
You can find her reverse harem works under Kristen Banet!
Check out her social media to catch what's going on in the worlds inside her head. She drops teasers, new covers, and opens ARC reader slots through her Facebook group, The Banet Pride.

This is a great, page turning read with plots unlike anything else I’ve read and I read a lot of supernatural type fiction. Ha, I am so late starting my day right now because I HAD to read the ending. Excellent paranormal story/series I just found on Kindle Unlimited. Well written, I look forward to book 2
While reading, if I paused, I found myself eager to resume as this is a really good book! What made me hesitate in giving it 5 stars was due to her meeting the love interest, as I felt she suddenly went from Alpha to Beta.
Solid plot, excellent world building (no info dumps), consistent and rational internal mythology. Even when things are implied rather than explained (there's witches in this world, and vampires, but none of them are anything more than tertiary characters at most, so their powers/mythology aren't very clear), it fits into the overall "rules" of the author's world. The book is well edited, too. There's NO useless romantic subplot!
Jacky is a person, not a caricature or a wish fulfillment or a trope. She's tough, and strong, but it never goes over the line into the cliche of "mysteriously powerful like no one has ever seen before." Carey, the child she's protecting, isn't cloying sweet, oddly powerful, or fated to be safe the world. There isn't any of the "snarky, wisecracking female main character" theme currently glutting the urban fantasy genre.
It's a good story with excellent characters and a plot that moves along steadily, without dragging in spots and rushing in others. I read a lot of urban fantasy, and there are a lot of typical traps books like these fall into. Overpowered main characters. Underdeveloped secondary characters. Infodumps. Pointless bickering to demonstrate a character 's cleverness. World building that overexplains, underexplains, or fumbles show vs. tell. Oath Sworn neatly avoids them, and that's honestly so unusual that I can forgive a few flaws in the story.
I like Jacky and what she stands by. Totally understand her strengths and beliefs. She’s determined to do what’s right as a werecat she’s pretty interesting. Hmm, I’m curious as to what her and Heath will get into next so I’ll definitely continue with the next book.
I love the writing. It flows amazingly well and keeps me in Jacky’s thoughts as she goes through the book. It was a little shaky in the beginning but once she started moving, I was sold. Impressed. Relieved to have found something that I’ve been looking for, for a while now. A few were let downs and DNF before the first chapter but I’m so glad this book gave me that and so much more.
Jacky lives in a world where the supernatural are slowly coming out. And she’s cool with that. Then she has to deal with them while remaining secret? Awesome. And then there’s the different introductions of magical species and their own little spins on the main plot. Loved it.
The twist was surprising and all of it, as it is war, was heartbreaking enough to make me sad in the end. But also happy with the way things ended.
Overall a definite recommend.
A bit repetitive, definitely spent the first few chapters reminding you that she was a werecat, which got a tad annoying.
The Laws needed a bit of clean-up, though. It didn't really make sense that werecats were supposed to be protectors, but there wasn't any recourse if their position wasn't respected.
Jacky is a decent female lead. She's not timid but shows her vulnerability and isn't a man hater. She was easy to relate to. The rest of the characters could use some fleshing out. Jacky isn't the only character in this story. Keep the others interesting, too, but just pop up cardboard cutouts when you need one.

Der sympathischste Charakter ist ihre WG-Partnerin, ansonsten wurden so viel Personen eingeführt und wieder fallen gelassen, dass ich den Überblick verloren habe.
Dafür gibt es zwei sehr lange Sexszenen, die die Handlung nicht weiterbringen.
Die Teile 2-4 werde ich nicht lesen.
