I'm a huge shifter fan. I get a kick out of reading even the predictable stuff over and over again, but Rudy Fielding's novella is an all original treat. There aren't many shifter stories set in post-apocalyptic environments.Right away, that leads to quite a different story from the standard secret shifter cliques and alternative universe comedies where shifters are as common as raccoons. This book is a bit darker, but that also makes it more passionate and interesting read.After a virus wipes out most of humanity and causes strange shifter mutations, Selena is one among many survivors. She's alone in the woods until confronted by shifter hunter Skinner. Without giving away the surprise, the mutual attraction these two share is seriously tested when they find out the other person is what they fear most.I enjoyed the way these characters had to grapple with their romantic feelings and the psychic trauma of living in a post-apocalyptic world. As a hero, Skinner is a true alpha who adds some serious heat to an otherwise bleak situation. Fielding's story reminds us that love can sprout in the darkest places against all the odds.I'm looking forward to reading more shifter romance by this talented author!
