5.0

This book was such a collection of stories of first time shifters!

All the authors were first time reads for me so it was a nice treat to read. each story focuses on shifters going through the change for the first time. Some of the MC's know that shifters exist, but in others they have no idea. A few highlights of the stories:

By The Moonlight by Megs Pritchard
I love a good age gap! Jordy knew that Stone was meant to be hid since the first time he he'd him as a baby. As a wolf shifter he knows about the pack and knows Stone's history; only now, after 18 years, he needs to figure out how to tell Stone.
Stone was adopted as a baby after his parents died. Unbeknownst to him, shifters exist. Not only do they exist, but he is one of them. He also doesn't know that his best friend, Jordy is his fated mate.


Prey to the Fox by Jessie G
This book was heavy for only a few pages. Bastian has to deal with being the runt of the family that cannot shift. His 12 other siblings can shift and his father is an abusive jerk! Dario knows that Bastian is his mate and has tried for years to prove to him the it doesn't matter if he can't shift, he loves him still. He will champion Bastian and remain by his side forever.
When Bastian and Dario hear Bastian's father try to convince the Alpha that the best situation for everyone would be if Bastian is killed on the hunt, Bastian finally realizes that staying away from Dario isn't protecting him; it's only hurting their relationship.

Finding His Groove by Sara York
This was my favorite story in the whole anthology! I have read many shifter books, but the twist in this one was awesome! I do not want to reveal what is so special about Avi as I feel you should read it for yourself, but it was truly a wonderful read. This one will make you tear up and then smile at the sweet ending.
