Review
Gather ‘round, everyone, I have a confession to make,
Ready?
Okay, here we go.
I have never read anything shifter. Like, ever.
Now, you’d think that I would have.
I mean, Buffy, the Vampire Slayer was one of my favorite television
series. I love the Underworld franchise
of movies. And, I’m a huge comic nerd.
But I’ve never read shifter.
And, to be honest, I wasn’t going to. When I first read the blurb for this one,
somehow, I missed the little word ‘werewolf”, and so didn’t even realize that
this was a shifter book until it was too late.
I don’t mean “too late” in a bad way.
No, quite the contrary, it’s in a very good way. By the time I knew what this was, I was
already sucked in and didn’t want to stop.
Here’s the thing that interested me about this: the wolf is treated like a totally separate
entity when Darren shifts. He’s well
aware of what the wolf does, like his consciousness is in another body, and can
assert some semblance of control over what the wolf does. But for the most part, he leaves the wolf to
his own devises.
Until the climax, that is. (How’s that for vague?)
Based purely on this story alone, I may be a shifter
convert.
