Great Story! 2 young adults dealing with adult problems.
Cleo is a wolf who has never shifted before at the age of 19. She doesn’;t want to be influenced by the pack mentality, especially under alpha Parker Green.
Zane is the alpha leader’s son and has a crush on Cleo. He doesn’t expect her to like him, but he is wrong there. At the end of their school year, they become a couple and after a few weeks Cleo feels so confident that she can deal with the responsibility that shifts entails. Just what she didn’t know is that the first time she shifted, she would black out, wake up with blood on her, and the alpha leader dead.
What happened? Does she have the blood of the alpha leader on her hands? What will happen to her now? What is left of Zane’s love for her?
A beautifully described love story of 2 young people. Suspense, danger, murder and a bizarre ending

The storyline was well written and the characters were so well developed that Cleo and Zane kept me turning the pages until the very last page!
I really enjoyed this short story, it’s the second book I’ve read by this author and I am really beginning to enjoy how she tells her shifter stories. This one is about a pack of wolf shifters and is filled with intrigue and sees two seemingly very different characters get together. Cleo and Zane’s relationship is far from easy and has a lot of turmoil and drama in it as the author takes the reader to the books conclusion.

I am not sure that I even know where to begin writing a review for this because it is truly an awesome experience.
The author did such a great job developing the characters, that I feel like I really know them, and not just the major two characters, but the minor ones too.
I loved everything about it – the characters, the plot, the emotion, the writing, and the ability that the author had to tell me a story that had me wanting this book to go on and on.

Great Mystery I enjoyed reading this wolf-shifter story of the pairing of Cleo and Zane. As stated in the book’s description, Cleo is a fiercely independent young lady who refuses to conform to pack rules. When Zane’s father, the pack leader, is killed—the blame falls on Cleo.

Sometimes love gives a person the courage to be who they really are than to pretend who others think they should be. The decision to make that choice however, is still very much up to the person.

Cleo is the rebel in her family and doesn’t want to shift just because their Alpha demands it. So she is a few years passed when she should’ve shifted for the first time. When she is at the park with her sister she notices Zane playing football with some other shifters. She’s had a crush on him for a long time but never thought he would be interested in her for obvious reasons. However one night during a party they both leave separately and end up in the same spot. They spend some time talking and Zane knows that he wants to know more about her. After going out several times with Zane she decides she’s ready to do her first shift on her own terms. However she was never told that she shouldn’t do it on her own and when she awakens after shifted she learns that their Alpha was killed nearby where she was. Did Cleo kill the pack alpha by accident? What does this mean for her and Zane?
This is an amazing story that once I started it I couldn’t put it down. The chemistry between them is scorching hot. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

Sometimes, that last step is just a matter of growing up. Cleo, was on her way to college after the end of the summer. While not technically an outcast, she was always on the outside looking in of the school social groups. Her conflict was not wishing to take her first shift into her wolf form. She had modern ideas about not being a slave to pack mentality and thinking for oneself. Her sister, Anna tried to convince her of the benefits of shifting. Cleo was adamant. She secretly crushed on Zane, son of the pack Alpha. She thought he was one of the empty headed pack members who followed rules and basically acted like animals. Zane secretly crushed on Cleo and admired her independent spirit. They had an encounter that didn’t go as either expected. Did they reject each other? Did they talk? What does Zane think of Cloe not shifting? Will the Alpha finally throw Cleo out of the pack? Good story. Many dilemmas, many choices. Will Cleo finally shift? Can Anna convince her baby sister, Cleo to join the pack? Enjoyable. Lots of surprises. Things are not always what they seem. Enjoyable read. Looking forward to reading about more pack members. Well done! I received an ARC from Booksprout for a review.
Short but, well written story. This story is about Cleo and Zane. Cleo does not embrace who she is and what she is. She is laughed at alot. Zane is attracted to her. They connect at the high school football game. His father is killed and Cleo looks to be the killer. What will happen to Zane and Cleo? Who is the killer? You got to read to find out. I really enjoyed this read.
