I received a copy of this book from the author for an honest review.k, first, I gotta say the main character is the CUTEST shifter EVER!!! Umm, I wouldn't chose a cocker spaniel, but they are still so cute! LOL! This is a special kind of story. I am calling it cute, because it is, but not like reading a 5 year old's book. It's got some romantic sides, some mystery, and even some action I am trying hard to think of how to review without being spoilery... Ever have this issue? I want to tell you "this", but then I'd give something major away  so I will talk about things in the blurb lolCaleb is a typical teenage boy, who happens to be quite intelligent. All he wants is to go to Duke, which he got accepted early to, and see his dad on breaks, and be close to his girlfriend. But the end of his senior year is not shaping up this way. I actually really like Caleb. He's got an interesting mind set, he's pretty funny, and he's got his own kind of sarcasm going on. he gets funnier when he turns into a cocker. I feel bad for him a good bit. I'd love to be a shifter, but maybe not with all of Caleb's problemsCaleb's maternal family out in California freak me out a bit. Let me say I like Kalista, and her mom, but the rest, oh if only you could pick your family- these are the ones you'd run from  and then things get darker and scarier, and real serious real quick. Excellent writing going on hereCaleb's dad is pretty cool, if I must say so. And I LOVE SAMPSON- who is their bloodhound  he is the all wise dog encyclopedia lol and his personality is just great. First, I personally love bloodhounds! I love when they come to my clinic, so Sampson is an automatic like. But him being so funny, like the way he describes things or calls them funny names, he's just so loveable!The writing is great, as I got into the story and didn't have any pauses or me trying to figure out a meaning or what was actually being said  easy flow! Interesting plots and an all around fun read!I would recommend this to pretty much any one. It's easy, it flows, and I can't help but still call it cute Even if it's got a dark side  I really enjoyed it. Especially the talking dog!  Sampson is my favorite from the book! I am looking forward to reading more of this series
