Review: TAKEN BY THE SHIFTERS - A GOOD READ
Rating: 4 out of 5

Series:  Taken by the Shifters #1Category /Genre:  Paranormal RomanceReceived from:  Amazon purchase (free)Recommended for:  18+ due to sexual contentGrammar/editing:  C – average writing, probably self-editedThis book was released in three parts and each does need to be read in order.I like the idea of this story.  Ms. Kidd provides an unique shifter type (multi-transforming).  Like Sam on True Blood can be any kind of dog; here, the shifters can be anything.)  Ms. Kidd also provides a clear statement on the human pathos in that we tend to ignore what does not directly affect us.  How else could you explain so many shifters living close by and nobody believes they exist?Though I liked the plot and I have fallen in love with Lucas, I think Elle is an odd person with too little self-esteem.  I understand that first meeting someone can be electrifying and lead to carnality, but to follow a man without a word and indulge, is beyond lust and reeks of desperation.  I would have established more sympathy for Elle had her history been more developed.Having read the “blurbs” for the other two installments in this book, I would like to read them and find out just what happens.
