Due to the shifter aspect of this story, it really has to be placed in the "paranormal" category, though the plot itself fits just as well into both the "mystery" and "contemporary romance" genres.I really enjoyed this one---it was a heck of a lot of fun to read. The very idea of the existence of a family of chinchilla shifters is quite amusing. Awwww---they're so tiny and cute and cuddly, which is not the first thing that comes to mind in typical shifter lit, which is usually all about wolves.I also appreciated the fact that the main character is a bit geeky, as well as being on the short and chubby side. With so many gay genre novels featuring impossibly cute/handsome/well-endowed main characters, this is quite refreshing. We're not all perfect 10s on the hotness scale, after all (he said resignedly...heh).The only thing missing here was a description of Sam's first meeting with August's extended family (such a meeting was due to take place the day after the book ended). I would have loved to see how that went!I don't know if the author has any plans to revisit these characters in the future, but if it happens I will definitely be on board for the next book. I'm also interested in checking out some of the author's other stories, now.Definitely recommended for those looking for a bit of light-hearted fun.Oh, I LOVE the cover on this one! Again---awwwww, so cute....
