"Savage Hunger" by Shelli Stevens is book one of her `Savage' series and features Sienna Peters as she discovers that her company is hiding frightening and barbaric experiments that involve shape-shifting beings.  Warrick Donovan definitely does not expect to discover the younger sister of his friend interfering with his hostage rescue mission.  His work for the Preternatural Investigation Agency (PIA) is loosely associated with the government and is designed to limit human knowledge of shifters as well as regulate the shifter community itself.  Sienna desperately wants to trust the man whom she knew in her childhood but is unsure whether she can reveal the information that someone may be willing to murder in order to retrieve.  The strong attraction to each other that was suppressed in their past complicates Warrick's investigation of Sienna's involvement as his heart wars with the expectations of his employers and superiors.  Sienna's own heritage is more intertwined with the shifters than she realizes and the revelations get more and more startling as she realizes that her world and her place in it will never be the same.An entertaining paranormal read that presents a group of dedicated individuals who are trying to protect both humans and the non-humans who share the world.  There are a few intriguing surprises that are thrown in to solve apparently insurmountable problems.  The heroine is a bit inconsistent for my tastes and the relationship between the members of the PIA is not as balanced  as would be expected for those who depend on each other for their very lives  but the overall story is an entertaining and sensual read.A copy of this title was provided to me in exchange for an honest review.
