Andy is the Carus, a shifter who has the ability to shift
between numerous animals and create a beast that is more
powerful than any other. She hides these abilities from
the SRD (Supernatural Regulatory Division) or she will end
up a government lab
rat.
Andy wakes from her sleep to the news that master vampire
Lucien has been killed. The initial shock of his death
brings fear that her ex-
boyfriend Wick died at the same time because Wick was
Lucian's wolf to call.
Now Andy is not only
out of a job, as Ambassador between the vampires and the
SRD,
but must discover what or who could have possibly killed
the
master vampire of the city.
As Andy begins her investigation her boyfriend Tristan is
strangely busy and disappears for a while, returning with
information that could destroy their relationship at a time
when her reason for ending things with Wick have come out.
In SHIFT WORK Andy is put to the test. She must make
decisions that have serious impact, not only on her life
but
the lives of those around her and the world at large.
Something strange is going on and she must stop it before
humanity is changed forever.
I love the Carus series by J.C. McKenzie. Andy is a
strong woman who
has lived through some very difficult times to get where
she
is, and it has cost her much. Yet she never stops fighting
for
what is right and to save those close to her. You have to
read
the whole series, and I suggest picking up SHIFT HAPPENS,
book one, and
spending a few
days of pure pleasure reading each in the series. But when
all else fails
don't miss SHIFT WORK by J.C. McKenzie.
Badass Shifter Andy McNeilly is running on empty. The death
of a prominent supernatural being has her reeling. The
invention of a new street drug has the police knocking on
her door for assistance. And a friend needs her unique
skills to help investigate a messy murder. In the interest
of paying the bills, paying it forward, and keeping the
Supernatural Regulatory Division off her back, Andy once
again slips through the dark streets of Vancouver’s seedy
underworld. In the process, she uncovers secrets that
threaten to derail her love life and her investigation. Can
Andy capture a murderer, solve a mystery, and forgive her
lover’s past? Or will the grime of the criminal world
swallow her whole?
