I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.Burden is a paranormal romance story focusing on a clan of bear shifters. For the uninitiated, a shifter, or were, is an animal that changes form or “shifts” into a human, or a human who shifts into an animal depending on the mythology of the story. Werewolves typically being the most common example of these in books and movies. So yes, this makes our main characters werebears. I’ve read a lot of shifter books over the years and I can’t recall one that has more than a passing mention of bear shifters. And before anyone geeks out on me. No, The Belgariad doesn’t count IMHO!There’s really not a lot that I can tell you without spoiling things that you probably haven’t already read in the synopsis. Aside from the uplifting and heart breaking relationship between Hawke and Echo, one of the things I loved most about this book is the strong feeling of community among the clan. It was a nice step out from just the immediate circle of the main characters.This was another one of her books that I could have sworn I’m only half way through when I came to realize I was at the end! But fortunately this is just the beginning of what is sure to be a great series.
