Publisher's Summary

Shifting has its perks. 

Rina has yet to experience even one of them. 

But that won’t keep her from trying. 

Lion Shifter is the second book in an exciting new magic-filled urban fantasy, starring a girl with lots of moxie, fine brawny shifters, BFFs with questionable morals, and pygmy trolls in need of an attitude adjustment.

Week heroines who play the damsel in distress.

I thought once she found her lion she would be a strong heroine but she gave up lion without a thought and she's the damsel to hilt. it made me sick.

Gaps in Storyline and falling short

I enjoy the over all theme and storyline of this series. I read book 1 and thought that there were huge gaps in the story that should of been developed - more character development. So much room for improvement.

That being said I still read book 2 and still feel that there is much of the story that is missing that the author could of included.

I do plan on reading the rest of the stories since I hardly ever leave a series unread unless it puts me to sleep and this doesn’t do that - just wish the author took more time to deepen the world, the characters and their interactions together.

I also agree with some of the other reviewers when they say her age doesn’t match up with how she acts. She is suppose to be 18 plus in this series -on the contrary her actions and thoughts portray her as being much younger around 15/16 years of age. Still in HighSchool rather than a magical college.

I did enjoy the narrator and am happy she is continuing on with reading the series. That is always a big petpev of mine when other series switch the narrators around.

Now on to book 3!

Loved it

I was hanging on to every word I love the book I really want to listen to the next one the narrator was fantastic so many different voices I highly recommend it! Thanks lucia! Keep writing and thriving we all want more

Fun listen

This book starts after the summer. I wish we got to see some of Rina’s time in the fae realm but we do get some mentions of it which was nice. Rina and Kai still have the brothers after them and trying to kidnap them. Rina has to get stronger and better with her magic if she wants to survive this semester. The entire school is upping security and trying to keep their people safe. The vampires are acting very strange and Rina is struggling not to like Leo or do anything about her feelings. I love Rina and her lion. There are secrets and it’s hard to know who to trust. I need the next book because of that ending. We also get to learn more about Leo which was fun. I enjoyed this listen a lot it was fast and fun though there was a decent amount of drama. I’m eager for the next book!

Getting better

So book one sucked in my opinion. There were plot holes and back story that just was missing. This book was way better. It filled in some of the missing info and made you actually want to read the next.

I love

THis book is just plain awesome I love Rina and Leander and the fairies. and Rina and Leander's friends

This just gets better and better

I am really loving this series! It keeps getting better and better. This author's take on the supernatural is very interesting and entertaining as well as having a good story. I am anxious to start book 3.

Binge worthy!

Currently sewing face masks for local healthcare workers, it means long days in front of a sewing machine. I listened to this book all the way through in one day. It made my day go SO much faster. The story is hugely entertaining, the world and characters are so real and believable. And the narrator is my favorite of everyone I’ve listened to. Makes for a pretty winning combination!!

Glad the story continues

I love this series and would recommend it to anyone. One looking into her own powers even when she loses part of her self. Finding love in a hard time and having to prove your worth.
Just listen to it. You will want to continue it till the end.

Amazing

This book continues the story in a breathtaking action packed tale with an amazing ending. I’m rushing off to get the next book. Kate did a great job narrating as well.

Easy listen

I enjoyed this series and the turns we took.
Great characters and storyline.
Good storyline with a good narration that allows you to create the world within your own mind.

A very well read sequel

Another volume that was fun to read, a great fast moving plot with good characters

Another great addition to the series.

I sped through Lion Shifter and as with my review for Magical Creatures Academy #1 I thoroughly enjoyed every moment. I cannot wait for the next book in the series. Humour, romance, suspense and plenty of magic this series seems to be the gift that keeps giving.
Kate Marcin's narration is once again a treat for the ears. Her characterisation is consistent, her comedic delivery and her ability to excite the listener, makes her a great choice for this tale.
