TIGER STRIPED is a Shifters
Unbound novella by Jennifer
Ashley, and the events in the story take place after
MIDNIGHT WOLF. It's not necessary to have read every book
in the Shifters
Unbound series in order to enjoy TIGER
STRIPED, but reading TIGER before reading TIGER STRIPED
is important. TIGER introduces the supernatural hero of
this story, and reading it first will give readers a
better understanding of this phenomenal character.
Tiger is an extraordinary shifter with an uncanny sixth
sense. Those close to him know to take him seriously when
what he says takes on a prophetic quality. At this point
in his life, Tiger has the things that are most important
to him -- his mate Carly and his young cub. At the opening
of TIGER, this shapeshifting hero gets an overwhelming
feeling that something is not right in his world and he
is single-minded and fierce in chasing where his
instincts are leading him. What follows is an adrenaline-
fueled road trip. Jennifer Ashley writes some amazing
stories about characters on a quest, and TIGER is a
fabulous example. Carly and their friend, and Tiger's
fellow shifter, Connor go along for the ride and the
danger that comes with it. These three characters make
great traveling companions and an interesting mix to read
about. Connor and Carly are a perfect combo of brains and
brawn to back up Tiger -- even when it seems like he
doesn't need it. Jennifer Ashley gives the main
characters, as well as readers, a huge surprise in this
story that will make waiting for the next book in this
series almost unbearable. As is often the case in this
series, humans are the villains pursuing and harassing
the Shifter heroes.
TIGER STRIPED has a determined hero on a riveting rescue
mission and a story full of surprises. It was nice
seeing unofficial Shifter leader Dylan being a help
rather than the slightly shady character he was in the
previous book. I can't wait for Connor's book! I look
forward to Jennifer Ashley's next Shifters
Unbound
book, as well as her next contemporary cowboy romance,
and her next Mackenzies historical highlanders story.
