review 1: Fallon is a cop with a partner who has some “extra abilities” so he’s a little more open to the idea of the supernatural than the average guy. One night he meets a young woman at a crime scene where a gay hooker was slaughtered. She offers him some advice about the crime but only if he’ll meet her “Up the Back Stairs”.When he arrives, there is no young woman, instead a stunning man who calls himself “Sundown”. Fallon thinks both the woman and Sundown are hookers, but can’t help but be amazingly attracted to Sundown anyway. Sundown gives him some clues about the crime and some hot sex and the two part ways.Later, when more bodies are found, Fallon goes back to Sundown for help and he is surprised to find that Sundown is more than he seems, and that the... morese crimes are more than just acts of violence.**This is the first installment of the series and is meant to build the world and introduce us to the MCs and it does a great job of hooking you right in. Sundown is a compelling “man” with a fascinating skill set that really makes you want to keep reading.This is a very unique (cool!) take on the idea of a “shifter”.Fallon is the typical cop/alpha guy thrown into a situation that would make anyone crazy, but it’s clear by the end that the two have feelings for each other that just may mean something in the long run.I highly recommend this book and look forward to the next installment.
review 2: Discovered this in a round about way, was looking through books by dates published in kindle books department and found what is the third and newest book in this series. It sounded interesting and so I looked up the author to find the first book and took a chance. Thank goodness I did!The synopsis given covers the story well enough so I'm not going to rehash it but what I will say is I was more than pleasantly surprised.This is a short novella that introduces us to the start of a series that gives a refreshing new spin to the shifter world that has become a little stale of late with the same old 'alpha claiming mate' plot line. The new paranormal underworld that KC Kendrick has invented is different and intriguing,with a lot of scope to expand it more.I loved the writing style, it had the laconic, dry witted humour that tickles my fancy and grabbed my attention from page one.Loved Fallon, the laidback witty cop and Sundown ,beautiful,sensual and mysterious and Juny, Fallons partner/sidekick and a well fleshed out secondary character. The chemistry is perfect between the two leads and even though this is quite a short novella it packed in a lot of actual story therefore making it feel an awful lot longer, cleverly done KC!Just downloaded the next two in the series so looking forward to getting to know these characters much better. Reccomend if you love your paranormal m/m romances but want something a tad different. less
