review 1: I found this book by total fluke and I can say that I’m so glad that I did!! I was going through Amazon and saw that it was a new release and on sale so I had to pick it up because I’m that type of person.I can say with this being the first book I have read by this author, it was amazing to me. I loved the shifter aspect of the story. The sex scenes that happened were done extremely well in my opinion. I did like how there was enough drama and action happening in the book that it kept me turning the pages.I was really shocked at how much I liked the main characters of this book, mainly because it’s rare that I enjoy them both. But throughout this book, I just couldn’t get enough of them. I was really left wanting for more, but not in a bad way in any means. The sec... moreondary characters were done insanely well. Each had their own personality and added to the story in their own ways.One huge thing that I liked about this story was even though the sex scenes were done very well, there was more to the story than just that. There is action, drama, suspense and intrigue that will keep you going as you progress further into the story. Even with everything that was happening and going on during the course of the book, I didn’t feel as though we were overloaded with information.I can say that I cannot wait for the next book in the series because I want to see what the author has in store for us next.Reviewed by Crystal for Crystal’s Many Reviewers
review 2: Saw this was on sale at All Romance ebooks (ARe). I liked the premise and got it. I understand the bad reviews and I should've looked at them before I bought this instead of being blinded by the sales price.I didn't get why is was so badly reviewed until about page 20. With shapeshifter, you expect instalove, but this book took it to a whole other level. I love the gay-for-you trope (so prevalent in shifter books) but Eli adjusted too well to finding out his mate was a man. We see him checking out other men at the club, sure, but we don't know about his previous pack life to determine if he was really straight before going to the Great Lakes Pack. I really wanted more of a foundation built between Kellan and Eli and more of the power battles between them.I really disliked the author's use of Tracy. He may have been a gay man, but he was still perpetuating the Jealous Bitch stereotype that other m/m writers utilize with women. Just because you changed the gender, doesn't make it any less stupid.The story was a lot more telling than showing. And the characters were inconsistent. The villainy of Eli's father was incredibly ridiculous. Eli's supposed best friend was extremely judgmental considering the situation, though I will admit Kellan and Eli having sex while Noah missing was in really bad form.Overall, my feelings on this is eh. This one seems eerily familiar to another shifter series I've read that I can't remember right now. I had a lot of deja vu when reading it. But I've also read a lot of shifter books to the point where they all blend together. There are better shift stories out there, but if you can't find one, this one will do.2 Stars. less
