Publisher's Summary

PMS is no fun for werewolves.

Forget the full moon, female werewolves shift uncontrollably at that time of the month. But after years of practice, teenaged Terra learns to squash her wolf, which allows her to flee the repressive village where she grew up.

A decade later, Terra realizes she has an even worse problem. After hiding from her wolf for so long, she is now shiftless, unable to change back into canine form.

When her father shows up with an ultimatum, Terra knows she'll have to learn to shift or return to her place in her family's pack. Will Wolfie, a nearby alpha who's more wolf than man, be a stumbling block in Terra's quest to maintain her freedom?

As Terra struggles to escape two werewolf packs that seem poised to suck her back in, the real question becomes - does she really want to stay away?

Loved Terra and Wolfie!

When I started to listen to Shiftless, I was pleasantly surprised to hear the story of Terra and Wolfie. I had read the book a few months ago and quite enjoyed the story.

This book was a great concept in having a lone female wolf that is strong and independent. Terra ran away from her pack at 17 and hasn’t looked back since. When her father does find her he issues her an ultimatum for returning to the pack. Terra has a chance encounter with Wolfie in a bookstore and again when she goes to meet the nephew she didn’t know about. Wolfie shows her that there is more than just bad alphas.

Kelly McCall Fumo does a nice job bringing Wolfie, Terra and the rest of the packs to life. Terra learns more about her wolf, Wolfie and true pack life in a short time. It’s a sweet story, I loved Wolfie and his backwards nature as much as I loved how strong Terra was.

I really enjoyed this book an have already recommended it to my friends....

I love this series!

I really enjoy the new werewolf universe that Easterling has created. I first read the book and immediately went to her website to find out when the next book would arrive and signed up for the mailing list. I enjoyed following the main characters through their journey. I the reading was good and easy to on the ears, but only 4 stars because there was no vocal character differentiation in the narration. I expect to follow this series for a long time.

I loved this book. I enjoyed the story and the performance, well done! I just can't seem to say enough good things about it. I would listen to it again and again. I will be getting the next books. I can't get enough of Tara and Wolfie. And I can't wait to find out what happens next!

A listen thru Book from Start to Finish

The narrator Kelly Fumo really kept this book flowing from start to finish. I compare her to Dina Pearlman that does the Anna Strong Series by Jeanne C Stein. Kelly has me on ready for the next in the series!

The characters were well fitted to the story. Found myself drawn into the story and actually seeing the characters in my mind. The chemistry between Terra and Wolfie is predictable but the story does have a few twist and turns. Terra's flight from her family life as a werewolf and how she is drawn back to the pack at her fathers' request for her or her nephew she has never seen. How will she handle it? Well without a spoiler to the story this quick 4 1/2 hr read will have you hanging on from start to finish wanting more!

I really do hope that the next book is longer! Enjoy the read!

Great Introduction to the series!

Any additional comments?

Terra left her small village and pack when she was a teen. In order to live in the outside world she learns to suppress her wolf side. In fact she does this so well that she has trouble shifting into her canine form.

After meeting an Alpha wolf from another pack and receiving an ultimatum from her father, Terra must decide whether or not to go back. If she does, will she be able to bring back her wolf too?


I really enjoyed this book. So many times werewolf/shifter books are about the guys. This time a strong female takes the lead. Ms. Easterling has created a world that has both traditional shifter characteristics but she has also added some twists.

Ms. Fumo's narration is perfect for this story. She gives each character their own voice and draws you further into the story. I kept coming back to see where the story would go next. I'm hoping that there will be a book 2.

I would recommend this book to my friends who like the paranormal/shifter world and also those who enjoy a little romance in their story.

Great Audio

Where does Shiftless: Werewolf Paranormal Fantasy rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This audio ranks very high among all the audiobooks I have listened to and I listen to a lot of audiobooks. The plot moves along very quickly with no slow spots, the narrator gives a lot of definition to each character so it is easy to follow the story.

Who was your favorite character and why?

If I had to pick a favorite character I guess it would have to be Wolfie. He has such an unusual outlook and is such a protective and loving Alpha that it really makes you want to have such a loving support in your own life.

What about Kelly Mccall Fumo’s performance did you like?

Kelly was able to give each character a definite "feel". This made it easy to keep up with what was going on even if you were listening and doing something else at the same time.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes

Any additional comments?

I would love to hear or read the sequel to this. Because of the way it ended there was a definite feel of a sequel coming up.

Shiftless

The narration feels rushed and the audio file could be cleaner, but it’s far from awful.

The story is a bit basic and lacks depth. The lack of background detail makes the ending seem ridiculous. I don’t want to spoil the story for anyone by explaining so I’ll just say that the way one alpha challenges another is certainly different.

I have decided not to continue with this series. I originally gave it a try because the other reviews are quite positive, but I failed to notice that the majority of the reviews are from people given a free copy in exchange for their review.

Fantastic

This was a fantastic start to a new series with strong world building and characters, although I wanted to know what was going to happen to them I also didn’t want the book to ever end. Fantastic story and narration

Unique

At first I wasn't crazy about the heroine's character but after she came to know her nephew and the alpha it was like she grew in character and strength. It really grew on me, especially with so much intrigue going on. Look forward to book 2. The narrator did a great job bringing the story and characters to life.

Entertaining!

I received a free review copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
This audiobook was an entertaining shifter story, the book was well written with plenty happening with a few bumps and twists along the way, the narrator really brought the characters to life. Definitely worth a listen and I will be listening to the rest of the series.

Great book to start a series

Was a great listen, very interesting book. I love shifter type books, they are so interesting. This book was about a female werewolf shifter who left her fathers pack and went out on her own to make her own way. She wouldn't allow herself to shift cause of issues she had before (which I will let others read about).

This is the first book in the series and while I got a free copy of the audiobook, I also went out and got the ebook as well for those times when I can't listen to a book, and prefer to read.

The narrator does a great job voicing Terra and all her thoughts. She really makes Terra come to life in your mind.

Great Shifter story

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review

Terra leaves the village where she grew up and for 10 years she repressed her Wolf.
Now she’s stuck between 2 packs and must learn to shift or return other families pack.
Although I think it’s aimed at younger listeners I still found it very entertaining.

Great for teens

This is a fantastic book for young adults. It's fast-paced, well-plotted with excellent character development. Kelly Mccall Fumo did a great job with the narration. Her voice was well-suited for the book and the characters.

Enthralling wolf shifter story

Absolutely loved it! As always, Aimee Easterling gives us a wolf shifter heroine who is tormented but strong and independent. And Aimee's storytelling style really lets you see inside her head. Pack dynamics and wolf instincts are to the fore, so these shifters are far from being mere humans with fur.

The narration is clear and even. I had no trouble following it, even through phone speakers in rush-hour traffic.

An enjoyable shifter story

Terra leaves her oppressive father and the only pack she’s know, represses her own wolf nature and thus becomes a shiftless female werewolf.
A decade later she finally has a chance of happiness but a twist of fate will send her back to the home she left behind.

An well written and intelligent book, well drawn likeable and believable characters and the promise of more to come.
I’m looking forward to the next book in the series.

Very Childish 🤔

Maybe I got it wrong I was expecting a Werewolf Story but instead it was just someone reminiscing , didn’t do it for me No real story just waffling 😢
