Rating: 3 out of 5

I was able to get The Shifter's Conspiracy as a free download.  This is a short story set in NYC.  A series of kidnappings have Tess's police department involved.  As the youngest detective she was never involved with the case yet in her free time she did her own research.  This led her to assisting Elias and his FBI team in 'solving' the crime.So the plot is the missing women and solving it.  We get ideas but nothing concrete.  Elias and Tess go off on their own, it seems without the support of the other two FBI agents to visit a club.  In fact the other team member wondered if looking at a crime family was helping the case.So was the crime solved?  No.  Were the kidnapped women found?  No.  Was the information the FBI uncovered fact and pertinent to the case?  Well, that one is still up in the air. So where does this lead us?  An unsolved case.But we do know Elias and Tess hook up.  For him it's a mating, despite his doubts. .. But we have no idea how Tess will handle it.  Attraction on her part is one thing but making a life with someone like Elias, a werewolf, has to involve a lot of soul searching.  We don't see any doubts from Tess - We get a glimpse of what life for Tess would be like, but it's more of a fantasy on her part, not reality.  This story is just too short and the plot unwinding into long dangly ropes, choking it off.If the author wanted to do her readers a service, conclude the story.  In one book or novella.  While this download was a freebie and I get to experience this author's work, I'm not interested in reading more.  - Dan's Wife
