I love shifter stories, and this one has an interesting twist being that the heroine, Chloe, isn’t a shifter herself. Her boyfriend Jorge is. But Chloe is the one who can actually communicate with animals telepathically, and I love how she does it. It’s like she’s simply chatting to a friend.  And since Jorge is a jaguar shifter, she can also speak with him in this fashion, which comes in handy when they don’t want other people to know what’s going on, or simply to reach out to one another—a telepathic hug so to speak.In this story, Chloe is struggling to control her gift, worried that she might hurt somebody, especially Jorge, if it gets out of control.  Her worry is palpable. Her courage is as empowering.  I love Chloe’s attitude.  I love how she speaks her mind.  Although every now and then she has the urge to run, she’s strong enough to hold it together when she really needs to. And Jorge always has her back.I’m generally not a huge fan of first person, and only receiving one point of view, but I must say, Ms. Armock does a fantastic job of creating and describing the scene so that it truly doesn’t appear as if we’re only looking through the eyes of one person. The whole cast of characters is very involved, they’re right there throughout the entire story, so that I never felt it was one-sided at all.  Great job!  I look forward to the more stories from Ms. Armock.
