This book was definitely a little different for me as an urban fantasy and paranormal romance reader. And to be honest, at  first i wondered if i was going to enjoy it and if it fit into my usual type of reads.The start of the book definitely threw me for a loop, but then tied up the ending nicely. In fact, the author did a fantastic job of keeping me guessing, which really made this reader very happy!Once i started to understand where the author was going with the plot i found myself riveted with all of the twists and turns in the storyline. Ms. Love did a splendid job of building this world where the supernatural and real world meet seamlessly. Lots of time spent on building the backstory and creating characters that i truly fell in love with!  The meddling old ladies add the necessary charm to this small rural community and anyone would enjoy getting to know them. Vina definitely struck a chord in me. .. Lots of laughs and smiles throughout the book with some creepy ominous scenes that will have me thinking twice before jogging in the woods.This author possess a unique talent of grabbing our imagination and taking it on one heck of an adventure. . .Half way through the plot thickens, suspicions continue to arise, and our heroine really shines as a survivor. Love the romantic matchup between Aubrey and Joe and was relieved that a love triangle did not manifest.Everyone and everything is not as it seems, and although it is advertised as shifter book, it is done in such a way that really adds a new flavor to the popular genre. Genetics, native peoples, and the power of the matriarchal line add a cool scientific aspect that was a breath of fresh air.Thank you Ms. Love for this refreshing read and  i hope there is a follow up book! Maybe more scenes with Joe and Aubrey. . .
