This was different from the average m/m shifter book in that it is originally set from the outsider's viewpoint, so the strange happenings seem very mysterious and magical.  Chip inherits not only his grandmother's house but a family friend who's been hanging around for the last couple centuries.  The only thing I thought was a bit off in this book was how his grandmother's house and grounds had become unfamiliar to him, and he just started moving in and re-decorating right after her death, yet she had supposedly been his closest relative.  It seemed a bit cold. But overall it's a great book I will re-read again.  I'd definitely read more books by this author, the writing style is very clean and clear.  My absolute favorite scene in this book is when the giant nearly 200 pound black panther follows Chip into the house, lounging around like a house cat and sneezing in his face as he gingerly offers it the raw steak that was to have been his own dinner.  Very funny. ;)  If you like this book you might like this manga,A Strange And Mystifying Story Volume 1 (Yaoi) (v. 1)
