An excellent novel, THE SHIFTERS gives more than just a
surface feel of New Orleans. The smells, sounds, and
flavors of the city will be familiar to anyone who has ever
visited and will make others long to visit. THE SHIFTERS is
part of a trilogy set written individually by Alexandra
Sokoloff, Heather Graham and Deborah
LeBlanc.
Caitlin McDonald and her sisters, Fiona and Shauna, are the
city's Keepers, those who watch over and help relationships
between the city's Others: vampires, werewolves and
shapeshifters. After being distracted by her feelings for
someone inappropriate and missing a major disaster, Cait is
reluctant to do anything that will make her sisters
distrust her abilities, so she would prefer to play lone-
wolf on this new investigation.
However, Ryder Mallory, an expert shapeshifter and bounty
hunter, has a personal stake in the person he is tracking,
so he wants Cait to succeed. Cait is willing to put herself
in danger over and over, but she isn't sure about the
danger she feels about being involved with a shapeshifter,
as members of that community have difficult times
committing to a single form, much less a single life.
THE SHIFTERS is well-written and absorbing. The details of
the Others community in New Orleans, as well as the
Keeper's responsibilities, makes the novel a good use of
one's time.
Charged with overseeing the shapeshifters of New Orleans,
Caitlin MacDonald has her reasons for being wary of their
kind. So when charismatic bounty-hunting shifter Ryder
Malloy blows into town claiming to be on the trail of a
horde of malevolent entities called Walk-Ins, Caitlin has no
reason to trust him—with her city or her heart. But as
tourists start dropping dead from supernatural possession,
Cait must team with Ryder to navigate his shadowy, ephemeral
world…
Fiercely independent, Ryder usually hunts alone—but
this case requires an exception. To prevent a supernatural
massacre, he needs the beautiful Keeper on his side—and, if
possible, even closer. In his world, appearances can be
deceiving and deadly. And the only way they'll survive is if
this woman who tempts him like no other trusts in him
completely….
