I live with a pack of misfit shifters. Freaks. Rogues. Oddballs. Prey. Runts. Deformed. We’re all welcome in Pack Aberrant. We aren’t going to be winning any popularity contests, but our hodgepodge bunch is more loyal than even the strongest pred packs. I should know. I grew up in one of them. As soon as they realized I was different, I was despised, even by my own family. So I left, joined Pack …
So I left, joined Pack Aberrant, and I’ve steered clear of alpha pred assholes ever since. Until my heatwave hits, and I accidentally jump three coyote shifters in a parking lot. Whoopsie.
Once they realize what my animal is, they’re gonna kick me to the curb just like every other pred shifter has. And my old pack? They come back to haunt me.
I’m unwanted by the three hotties, threatened by my old pack, and to top it all off, I have to find a new job because I attacked a bank robber. Accidentally.
Being a misfit really sucks sometimes.
Author’s Note: This was originally released as a short story in the Shifting Destiny anthology. It has now been expanded into a full-length novel. Puns still included.
Addie’s story is book one in the Pack of Misfits series. Every book will be a standalone for that character, but a continuation of the Pack Aberrant story. Book one is a reverse harem with multiple love interests with the main character. However, this is not a reverse harem series. Some main characters in this series will have monogamous relationships.
*This is intended for ages 18 and older due to sexual content and strong language.

Fantastic and funny read
I’ve been waiting for this book since I’ve read the short story in Shifting Destiny and i loved it!! Raven Kennedy nailed it for me with her pack of Misfits prey shifters. Can’t wait to meet the rest of Addies pack.
*** No Spoilers ***
Ducking amazing! I was so excited when Raven announced that she was doing a Misfits series. Raven went above and beyond expectations. I love Addie and her ducking personality. She runs into 3 hot shifters as she goes into heat. They have an incredible night together, then things turn south fast. The guys don’t like her animal because it’s prey. Fortunately the guys realise what a ducking mistake they made, and try to fix it. There is hot steamy scenes, action, and revenge in the plot. Absolutely a must read!
•••• I highly recommend this book/series! ••••
~~~ I have Kindle Unlimited, and I used that service to read this book. ~~~
This was great! I was laughing the whole time. Raven Kennedy is something else when it comes to humor. I love this new idea of shifter misfits. I can’t wait to read more about this pack! This was another great read by Raven Kennedy!!
Overall: 5/5
Addie May be one of my new favorite MCs – she is fierce, quirky, and so confident in herself. She has been basically bullied and forced to defend herself for most of her life due to the type of shifter that she is. This is one story where the heat level jumps quickly, but it makes sense and fits the story. The guys are kind of jerks for a bit, and I liked that Addie calls them on it, and while she is strong enough to stand up for herself, he friends are awesome too. This is the first book in a series, but it is a stand-alone, as the other books will follow other characters and not all of the stories will be RH. I can’t wait to see whose story is next!
*WARNING* contains explicit adult sexual situations with multiple partners.
Addie is a shifter, but her pack rejected her because of her animal. Addie had to leave her pack or die and luckily Alpha Hugo found her. Addie and her prey animal fit perfectly in the pack of misfits that Alpha Hugo has aquired.
Penn, Herrick, and Lafe are coyote shifters who left their pack because they didn’t like the pack’s archaic ways. The trio didn’t realize how archaic their own thinking was until they had spent a night with Addie.
This caught my attention because I like misfits, and it did not disappoint. Most of the characters are great. Lafe is so funny with his jokes and puns. Addie has had a hard, cruel life, but she is so strong. I loved this story and couldn’t put it down. I really like the message in there, just because someone is different, doesn’t mean they are less than. This us an excellent start to a new series and I will be eagerly waiting for a book 2.
This is my go to series to laugh and get all the steamy scenes!
Don’t like shifter romance novels or RH? You have to try this one! If someone mentions either of these genres, I usually turn up my nose. Most of the reverse harems books I’ve read have been exhausting. I mean, really, there is only so much a girl can handle. But Raven Kennedy hits the mark perfectly with this book about a pack of misfit shifters.
Plot Overview:
Aderyn Locke is a shifter who has been mistreated all her life because her animal is not a predator. She’s had a hard life, and she doesn’t share her animal side with just anyone. She is lucky enough to have a tough alpha who takes her into Pack Aberrant, a pack of animals who have been mistreated and misunderstood. Addie flourishes under her new pack, but she still doesn’t think she will ever find a mate to accept her for who she is.
Then she meets a trio of drifting shifters looking for a new home, and the attraction between them is undeniable. The coyote shifters are have always shared a special bond between them. It’s no wonder they are willing to share. They all want to be with human Addie, but will they feel the same when she reveals her animal?
Pros:
• Trope: finding strength in being different
• Sexy main characters: triple the charm in this reverse harem delight.
• Secondary Characters: the pack of misfits has a lot to offer in shifters. A three-legged otter, a rattler without her rattle, and a gerbil.
• Smoking hot sex: The sex scenes are graphic and steamy as hell
• Comedy: this is a laugh out loud novel!!
• Style: fast paced and easy to read. Sucks you in from the first scene
Cons:
• I’m having a rough time thinking of anything I didn’t like about this book.
To sum it up, open your mind to shifters and reverse harem. This book is done right, and I promise you will laugh at all the crazy hi jinx! There’s danger, suspense, hot sex and a tight-knit family of misfits. I loved this book! So fun to read.
I absolutely loved this book, the plot, characters and narration were all outstanding and a joy to listen to. The ‘ducking’ gags had me howling with laughter, along with Addie’s fierce attitude, I can’t wait to listen to the rest of the series.
Addie is one of the most memorable characters I have ever read and there are still moments that I laugh about in this book. Addie is one bad duck and I love her for it.
Oh Raven!! You have done it again!! You got me hooked on another wonderful series of yours! I love the Misfits. This can just about go anywhere. Addie is so awesome. I love that she has the mates that she does! Leaf and his Duck shirts! the one liners! I can go on and on. I highly highly recommend this book!!
I really enjoyed this shifter romance RH standalone by Raven Kennedy! I needed to listen to something different and this one definitely piqued my interest. I really enjoyed all the duck puns and the lightness this story had. I also liked the concept of the pack of misfits and I love me some Hugo soooo badly! I think my favorite was still Addie. Leif was a close second haha. I didn’t want to stop listening once I started, it grabbed me from the opening scene. Raven did a good job giving us a taste of these series of standalones, I went right to downloading book 2 and am love Reese’ story too! The overarching theme/storyline was fast paced and made me want to kill the other pack for being vile, disgusting excuses of living creatures haha. Great way to end it, hopefully they will leave them alone and Addie’s mates won’t mess up that much again!
For the narrator, this I believe is my first time listening to Bridget and she did a phenomenal job. I loved her different male voices as well as the female voices. She did the inflections perfectly, especially with how different the 3 mates were. I couldn’t get over how amazing she did Leif, he was the playful funny teddy bear I imagined as I listened. Hugo sounded great as the protective father figure alpha. I will definitely put Bridget on my “Will listen again” list, no complaints from me!
Great job with the story and audio, already adding more of Raven’s books on my TBR and TBL list. Recommend this audiobook wholeheartedly
Had a wonderful time reading this book and I can’t wait for the next one in the series! Well-written, with plenty of humor and wonderful characters. I mean, it’s no Heart Hassle, but it’s still amazing.
What I loved most is the new spin it puts on shifter romances. Plus, you know, reverse harem… 😀
What I loved least is the amount of groveling in the story… Addie forgives the guys way too fast.
Still, strong first book. A million kudos!
this is the ugly duckling who find herself with three foxes shifters. what are the odds destiny puts them together as “fated mate’s” ?!?! weird combo right?! this is a hilarious RH story because it has enough duck jokes to keep you laughing ! Little do these foxes know shes not the damsel in distress duck! more like a professional ninja that can handle herself just fine. Bird crap included. And she can egg you .
I loved this story. It’s a story about a woman, Addie, who has felt unwanted by her family, her pack, and other shifters. . . that is until she meets Alpha Hugo after she ran away at 15yo. Here offered her a new home, a pack of Misfits, a place where others like her who didn’t fit in can. Enter 3 asshole shifters looking for a new pack. They have everything or they think they do until they meet Addie. They each find her beautiful and she calls to their animal. But Addie wants nothing to do with them, that is until she goes into heat and can’t resist them and literally jumps them. One night of sex driven lust later, they all wake up to discover they are mated. I won’t to what kinda shifter Addie is, but let’s just say the boys aren’t happy. They reject Addie, just like her family did all those years ago. In Addie’s heart she knows it’s a real connection and is hurt, but will ride possible death to try to break the bonds if that is what they want. They on the other hand so realize that decades old prejudices and their stupidity may cost them their perfect mate. Can they fix their wrong in time or will it be too late? Can Addie ever forgive them for hurting her? It’s a story of looking past the outside and seeing within someone; that strength doesn’t necessarily have to lay within only muscles but can be what others say are our weaknesses. I can’t wait for another story about Pack Aberrant.
