Second Nature

Shape-Shifter, Book 1

By: Jae

Narrated by: Abby Craden

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.

Cute love story!

I enjoyed the development of the story with the main characters and the wonderful job narrating. I am sure I will listen to it again!

lots of fun

just so good. after listening to a bunch of romances it was nice to listen to one that wasn't chocked full of sex scenes. not that I didn't enjoy those it's just nice to have a great story and romance without the physical stuff.

Where’s my liger!!

What a great story! It keep me on my toes I couldn’t put it down 🤍 finished it in one day. Will def be reading the others in the series and more of this author!!

Excellent book!

This was an excellent thriller! Very suspenseful, and fast paced. Very well written, and actually very believable in the sense that it kept you riveted to the action scenes and other aspects of the characters. The main characters were really good. Jory and Griffin were unabashedly full of chemistry for each other,

Abby Craden was as always excellent in bringing all the characters to life in that special way she has to feel all the characters smoothly evolve with each other. Very well done!

Shifter Romance

This is a shifter romance. Hybrid shifter falls for the woman she’s suppose to kill. There isn’t spice in this book and it doesn’t have a bunch of angst which is nice. There is one scene at the end with spice. Love all of Jae’s books. They are well written and page turners.

Now that's a shifter story...

This story raises the bar for lesbian paranormal romanc..Well done! I wanted more. This is a slow burn enemies to lovers

More Griffen x Jori!!

Could do with another whole book about those two. Sucked in by the romance and the action.

Tame Well written shifter story

Purrrfect for readers who love paranormal romance without the fun & raunchy sex scenes!!!! Great use of incorporating science/ plausibility into the actual existence of shape shifters in our modern world!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Great Story

definitely a very slow burn but amazing story and characters. Just wish it had spicy 😪

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.
