Publisher's summary

A compelling stand-alone lesbian paranormal romance, part one in the award-winning Shape-Shifter series.

For solitary novelist Jorie Price, true love seems as fictional as the shape-shifting creatures she writes about in her paranormal romances. Griffin Westmore doesn't believe in love, either, but she's one of those not-so-fictional shape-shifters who secretly live among humans.

When Jorie's writing gets uncomfortably close to the truth, Griffin is sent to investigate and, if necessary, kill the author to protect the secrets of her kind. But when Griffin unexpectedly finds herself drawn to Jorie, her world is turned upside down. Hell, she's supposed to kill the human, not fall in love with her! How can she complete her mission now?

Contains mature themes.

Life can change and everything is second nature.



This paranormal story that Jae gives us is so well written I found my heartracing with the characters. Abby Craden is beyond amazing as she makes other world characters come to life. The earth and love the two wow become strong, loving partners that are so real thanks to Abby and Jae's brilliant writing. Jori is a writer with more skills than the books she writes. Her dreams are of a world she can only believe does not exist. Griffin is a liger that is very real and a part of Jori's dream world. They have a connection even they can't understand. As the shapeshifter world Jori writes about threatens the other world Griffin must go from being ordered to kill her to being her protector. They both must learn to trust each other and see those who love them in a different light. The story is full of very scary moments, amazing chance scenes, creatures that should scare us but ask us to suspend disbelief. There is so many twists and turns in this story you can't put it down. Stretch how you see the world and enjoy a cast of characters that you will love. I love when you can experience such complex characters and still love the journey. I loved this book.

Great

I’m not much of a supernatural, sci fi or shape shifter reader but I love Jae’s writing so I had to pick this one up. It was a good read and action packed with a great love story

Spectacular Narrator

The multiple conflicts between numerous romantic couples kept this storyline whipping around. The narrator kept all the characters voices in rhythm with the action. Her male voices just as good as her female voices.
