First let me say that I loved this series and I've been waiting and waiting for Shane and Trevor's story. But I gotta tell you, I was down right pissed off that the climax was a cliff-hanger. Hello, uber frustrating. I was in shock and thought I might have clicked something on the kindle to take me to the end or something. Then to see the Author kindly added a paragraph about how wonderful it was that the story was to be continued in a second book - that lit my fuse.This book, while not short, is by no means a long read with a Kindle count of just over 1800. For a complete story, I won't complain about paying $4.99. But to realize that I need to drop another $5 to get the rest of the story is just plain aggravating. I rarely think an e-book is worth $10. I went to the publishers site and purchased the continuation of the story "Shane's Fury" and was able to get the whole story but crimeny, while I enjoyed the story, I'm just plain mad at being hogtied into paying for the second book. Which I might add was about half the size of the first one. So yeah, author and publisher accomplished what they set out to do with my purchases - increasing their sales. Unfortunately, I will definitely be wary of future offerings by either the author or publisher.So before you buy, think to yourself, do you want to pay $10 for this story? Cause you're going to have to if you want to read the entire thing.As for the story ... yes, it was enjoyable. Yes, it was a nice addition to the Lost Shifter series. Yes, I'm glad I was able to read it in its entirety. But had I knew beforehand that I was going to be dropping $10 for the thing, I seriously think I might have thought about skipping it completely.
