I don’t think I’ve ever felt so emotionally invested in the outcome of a series before and for that reason I am both longing for and dreading the final book Alpha.In the 5th installment of the Shifters series, a flight of Thunderbirds are attacking the South-Central Pride for unknown reasons. The style of Rachel Vincent’s writing has created an absorbing world that hooks you from the moment you pick up the book. I feel for each of the characters and just can’t see a way to give all three of them a happy ending. I have no idea how the relationship issues between Faythe, Marc & Jace will be resolved after the events of the last book.

I really didn’t know how the book was going to end and there were some great twists that I wasn’t expecting. Shift is action packed from the word go and kept me on the edge of my seat until the last page. I love the way Faythe’s character has grown throughout the series – she still has flaws and makes mistakes but she is truely starting to show her full potential. Shift didn’t disappoint and I was drawn into Faythe’s world from the very first page. I have been a massive fan of the Shifters series ever since I read Stray but with each book I’ve been amazed that it has managed to be better than the last. When the Thunderbirds manage to kidnap Kaci it falls to Faythe to discover what they want and to figure out a way to rescue her. The Pride have no idea why they are under attack and they are at a major disadvantage when their enemy can fly – they can’t afford to lose more members if they are going to have a chance in the upcoming war. But attack comes in an unexpected form when they are set upon by the Thunderbirds – a Flight of bird shifters who are determined to destroy the Pride.

What did I think? This book continues the story just a couple of weeks after the ending of Prey – Faythe and the rest of her Pride are still devestated by the loss of an important Pride member and are preparing to go to war to get their revenge and stop Calvin Malone’s attempt to take over the Pride Council. Tagged: urban fantasy, paranormal, shapeshifters, romance But sometimes a leap of faith is the only real option… With the body count rising and treachery everywhere, my instincts tell me to look before I leap. And making peace with our new enemies may be the only way to get the best of our old foe. Now our Pride is under attack by a flight of vicious thunderbirds.

Ever since my brother’s death and my father’s impeachment, it’s all I can do to prevent more blood from spilling. Scars accumulate, but I’m stronger in so many ways.Īs for my personal life? It’s complicated. The blurb: Being the first female werecat enforcer isn’t easy.
