I was pretty pleased with this weeks selection of books. I found a couple of new to me authors - which is always a good thing - as well as a couple that made me laugh out loud.
This weeks theme: Shifters
Switch of Fate by Lisa Ladew & Grace Quillen
4 Stars ****
Shifters and switches are the perfect match; she hunts vampires, he keeps her from destroying entire populations in a fit of magical rage. These love connections, once common, have died out in modern times. A disaster for humanity.
Until...
The first switch seen in a hundred years flees a room full
of shifters, leaving chaos in her wake.
Jameson Montreat is a lonely wolf shifter who had one job
that was essential to the protection of the human species. A job he was unable
to do. Now, with more vampires throwing their hat into the political ring every
day, he can't stop it. He can't kill vampires, none of the shifters can. Only a
switch can kill a vampire, and they died out a hundred years ago. But then an
impossibly captivating switch walks right into the anti-vampire meeting,
turning every shifter head in the place. She is not meant for him, as much as
he might need her to be.
Coralie Hamilton is a normal woman, living a normal life,
waiting for something big. What that something is, she has no idea, but when
some base part of her brain causes her to go temporarily insane and try to stab
a politician in the throat with a fountain pen, her future suddenly becomes
crystal clear. She's a natural born killer, and the only thing that can calm her
killing instincts in the moment is the love of a shifter male who is strong
enough to handle her.
Yesterday, she didn't believe in shifters. Today, she's got
to choose the one who will keep her sane.
Not His Werewolf by Annie Nicholas - 4 Stars ****
After being disowned and labelled human because she can’t
shift, Betty Newman rescues unwanted dogs to fulfill her need for pack. Being
rejected by her birth pack was enough pain for a lifetime and she’ll do
anything to avoid subjecting herself to their prejudices.
Things change when Ken Birch wakes in her kennel still in
wolf form and declares she’s his soul mate. His presence wakes her feral heart
and makes her long for a life she can’t have. Old wounds are opened and she
refuses to listen to instinct.
But only a shifter can be a soul mate and now her life is in
danger by New Port’s pack. Either Betty learns to shift or she dies. Problem is
the only one willing to help is Ken, the last person she wants.
Just One Bite by Nora Snowdon - 4 Stars ****
Rosie has an amazing one-night-stand with the most perfect
man. Ever. He's gorgeous, funny and really seems to like her. Then she
overhears that his ex-girlfriend is pregnant and he's being forced into a
shotgun wedding. Hell, the only good thing that came out of that night she met
Lucas, was the mangy dog who now jogs with her. He may be an odd looking mutt,
but at least he's a good listener.
Lucas adores Rosie but she hates him because she thinks he's
a lying sleaze who cheated on his fiancée. Nothing could be further from the
truth. Not to mention, Rosie would freak out if she found out he's a werewolf.
The other problem is, she only likes her jogging partner the
wolf, and not the man. But damn, how do you woo a woman if all you can do is
bark?
Gargoyle by Scarlett Dawn - 4 Stars ****
A shifter made of stone. And wings.
A human bent on free love. And drunk.
A joke could be made with those two lines.
But the town of Woodland Creek, it's no laughing matter.
Hostile and magical residents guard their secrets. It's too easy to be found
out.
When Isaac Stone first meets Kennedy Kirk, he's tempted to shove
her off the clock tower. After all, she is gripping his private parts to lean
over and see his town. One little push is all it would take...
Isaac never anticipated he'd be the one to fall.
Storm Shift by Calinda B - 3 Stars ***
Your power--it’s in the blood.
Those were the words her grandfather said to her from
wherever the dead reside. Now it’s up to her to find out what that really
means.
Grief.
Her grandparents were found dead in the lake. Boating
accident? Not likely. Newly elected town manager Chia Petit is determined to
find out who murdered her beloved granddad and grandma.
Justice.
Her new position requires her to see to the needs of the
people, including the shifters, of Charming, Alaska. When a shifter turns up
dead, shot by a mysterious hunter, her determination to find the murderer
grows.
Love.
There are not too many men to choose from in Charming,
Alaska. Can the sexy, insane bounty hunter who wants revenge for the death of
his niece, winnow his way into her heart?
That wraps Shifters week. I hope you see something you'd like to read.
As always, thank you for stopping by.
