SHIFT HAPPENS

Romance Paranormal

Andy is just out on a routine assassination for the government agency she works for when things get a little out of hand. Andy is a little confused as to why they have her killing a human instead of a shifter as is normal for her, but what the heck a job is a job. Only problem is that right as she is about to tear out the guys throat his body guard knocks on the door and Andy smells werewolf. Now she must finish the job and get away but after a long fight she wakes up in the bed of the Werewolf Alpha. As she heals waiting to met with the vampire he works for she must find a way to escape and save herself or at least find a way to make a deal that will save her and maybe get her sometime with the sexy Alpha of the pack.

I love a good paranormal romance and SHIFT HAPPENS is a good one. Andy and the Alpha Wick are a couple that you can't wait to see together, but then honestly wonder if the author is going to allow it to happen.

SHIFT HAPPENS has excitement, intrigue and lots of danger. I love the whole cast of characters and how they played a part in the story. Not to mention she leaves you with an idea as to what she is going to do with the next book, and I'll wait till then to decide if I'm going to yell at her or not.

Since SHIFT HAPPENS is the start of a new series it can be read as a standalone but I think you will want to read more and more as J.C. Mckenzie writes the next book in the series. SHIFT HAPPENS is a great to start to what looks to be a great series.

SUMMARY

Andrea McNeilly's job as a government agent is not asking
questions, but then a routine assignment turns into a
botched assassination of a Master Vampire's human
servant.
Answers become a priority. Her search to discover the
truth
is riddled with obstacles, the largest being an oversized
Werewolf who resembles a Norse god. Andy can't afford the
distraction he offers, because if she fails, she faces
eternal enslavement.

Wick's job is to monitor Andy, but he prefers more
intimate
activities, none of them G-Rated. His choices, however,
are
often not his own. His ability to help Andy is limited by
his bond to the Master Vampire.

Facing many trials and challenges along her path to
redemption, Andy learns the value of her freedom might be
set too high.

EXCERPT

A large black wolf trotted into the clearing to confront
me. He had a white-tipped snout, white boots and mitts
and
would have looked cute had he not been the most
intimidating Werewolf I’d ever seen. Standing tall and
solid, power rolled off of his body. His eyes bore into
mine. I sniffed the air. The strong Werewolf scent of
rosemary swirled around me, strong and seductive, laced
with sugar. A weird fuzzy sensation spread out from my
chest. Whoa.

Alpha.

My other form growled low, demanding release, straining
against my skin. The energy of the wolves builtβ€”layers
upon
layers of excitement and impatience. The air pulsated
with
anticipation. They could sense the imminent kill.

Let me out! My other form repeated, throwing her power
against my built up walls, howling in defiance.

When the energy of the Werewolves surged, I finally
released her. My wolf form flowed out fast, wiping out
the
feline in little more than a heartbeat. Smaller, weaker
and
the size of a natural wolf, a Shifter in this form was no
match for a Werewolf, especially a dominant one. I had
time
to meet the eyes of the Alpha for only an instant before
the pack leapt forward. My limbs shook. It went against
every instinct ingrained within me, but I rolled onto my
backβ€”submissive.
