The author really got me. The first book opens with two sisters eating breakfast and a knock on their cabin door that terrifies them. One sister opens the door, shotgun in hand, to confront a very odd, badly attired, grungy individual who she apparently knows...drug dealer? hippie throwback? No! She accuses him of stealing their livestock.Then little hints are dropped...such as "how did he find our lair?" Huh? Lair? Okay, maybe the author is taking poetic license here... No, again, and we come to find out that...these gals are shapeshifters. Both have jobs as weekend bartenders...but can also hightail it through the snow as powerful pumas...and the grunge at the door is actually a werewolf who passionately hungers to mate one of the sisters...Who'd a thunk?I found the author's points of view fascinating. There wasn't a bloodthirsty moment...no humans were killed in the making of this book...What we find here are the intense relationships, dramas, and lifestyles among shapeshifters themselves, the different packs, different rules, the alpha males, the powerful urge to mate and select a mate...and throughout, there is a sweetness of soul, a loving concern for each member of the pack.Heck, there's even an evil witch tossed into the mix.A delightful read. Recommended entertainment any time.
