Intriguing and exciting

This was a very enjoyable book and I love reading about all sorts of shifter species. It's different reading a book with so many different species like Phoenix, gryphon, kitsune, dragon, were, mermaids, sirens, selfies, vampires and more. I love how the story has been coming together with all the characters and everything.

It was a bit of a slow and different read at first but then it got more and more interesting and intense as it went and now I'm really intrigued to show more see what happens next. I can't wait for the next book. I'm also hoping to hear more about some of the other shifter species that weren't in this book as much like the Naga - that's one I'm more curious about because I don't usually read or hear much about Naga in stories as often.

If you haven't checked this one out, you should! It's also a clean read which is something I appreciate and look for with books I read as well. show less

I absolutely loved this book! I loved learning about the different types of shifters and their war with the vampires. I loved the characters, especially Myreen and Juliet. I didn't care much for Kendall and his actions toward Myreen just seemed off to me. Especially, since she looked so much like Alessandra. I liked Kol and his friends better but he really needs to make his mind up about what he wants. Overall, I loved the book and just can't wait to read more from this series.

Shifted is the first book in a series and it's a fun beginning. Myreen grew up with some strange rules given to her by her mother, and the day she breaks them is the day everything begins to change for her.

Shifted follows a variety of characters - different ones per chapter - and it's a well-written, fun book full of vampires weres of differing sorts, selkies and more.

The dialogue is good, the internal thoughts of the characters heading each chapter add added depth to the story, and Author show more Barr's descriptive writing is enjoyable to read.

I look forward to reading more in the series.

I received an ARC of the book, and have chosen to review it. show less
