Publisher's summary

Leander McLoughlin is leader of the Ikati, an ancient tribe of beautiful, savage shape-shifters who live hidden in the forests of England. Their survival is rooted in secrecy, a secrecy threatened by the very existence of one raised outside the tribe. Charged with capturing her before she can expose their secret, Leander tracks the unsuspecting outsider to Southern California.

When handsome, enigmatic Leander McLoughlin appears, promising answers to all of her questions, she knows she shouldn’t trust him. But their connection is as undeniable as the dangerous destiny drawing her home….

Great beginning to a new fantasy world

I enjoyed the story but find it a little too flowery and wordy at some parts. It was ok because I usually listen to audiobooks while I’m crafting. However, if I were to read the book, I might be bored by the long winded distractions.

Justine Eyre did a good job in the narration.

A great romance

A beautifully done paranormal romance. A sultry voice that depicts the story well and beautifully written.

Lovely story but

I liked the story, but there seem to be too much "fluffy stuff" (my teacher would refer to that as filler or too much scenery) there should be more dialogue between characters or action. There is a lot and I do mean a lot of times when their hair was described. At one time I started fast forwarding through some of the filler points.It is a great story unique even and I also liked the different voices used for characters. I'm going to try the next book in the series hopefully the "fluffy stuff" has died down

Absolutely hooked on this series!

Loved this story! Not to big on the narrators male voices, but overall it was still a great listen!

Must

happy I found this series. was well written and great love story, has a very strong female role. A twist in the shifter story.

needs dual narration

sorry was good but hard to follow who's perfective was begging told at any given time

So much potential

The narrator put me off - I had to struggle to keep listening. Something about the cadence and the pauses.

Of all the things in this world that doesn't make sense to me - just knicking the shifters makes them unable to change? That's a major weakness in a creature. Wouldn't they have been wiped out long ago. And if they are this weak then their need for seclusion makes even more sense.

Watch out for Jenna! # She is a Queen of a Woman!!

What did you love best about Shadow's Edge?

This is the start of a new series and one I'll possibly never forget. I had the smug attitude of the Alpha to the flippancy of Morgan, not to mention all the multitude of talants Jenna brought into the mix. I CAN HARDLY WAIT FOR MOVE VOLUMES OF THIS SERIES TO COME OUT!!!!!!!!

What did you like best about this story?

The part I liked best about this story was where it initially started out with the tribe alpha, who was so full of hisself , discovering that this half-blood named Jenna had the power to reign him in. Not with just her mystical powers, but with her courage, her tenderness and her insatiable way of connecting with others.

Which scene was your favorite?

My favorite scene was when Jenna discovered she was in love with the alpha.while floating in vapor form over the jungle.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When it was discovered that Jenna wasn't just the Alpha's mate, but her races queen. When she could close her eyes and tell where every member of her tribe were located!

Great promise – stupid heroine

I usually like this author, but had difficulty with this book. The storyline is fine but there are characters who don’t stay true to form and thus who do really stupid things. For example, one character has a solution to her problem clearly laid out for her but decides instead to do something completely detrimental to her future and the colony’s future for no understandable reason. The h was a major problem throughout the story. She is brand new to this world, a world and an H that is trying to take care of her, and all she does is throw things in their faces and act like she’s better than them—without bothering to listen to them, she disparages their world nonstop. Also, she, too, has a great solution to her problem and she absolutely ignores it in favor of being obtuse and self-centered. She does his Over and over again. Drove me crazy. Felt like the author thought she’d win points by slamming male-dominated societies so she came up with stereotyped figures and situations whether they fit the story or not.

Pretty good

This story kept me interested and the narrator did a good job. But sadly I won't continue with it I do t like when each book on the series change the MC's
