5 out of 5 stars
I loved reading the story Lisa: Coming Of Age (Book 1 of The Guardian Shifters) by KM Lowe. I absolutely love shifter stories and this one is a wonderful example of why. It is a book that pulls you in from the very beginning and doesn’t let you go until the final page. I loved reading about Lisa and Marcus. Lisa is a young woman who has questions about her past. She loves her adoptive parents however also wants to know about her biological family. Then secrets are revealed, and her world begins to change. Marcus is Lisa’s best friend. They have always had a strong connection. He is the one that she turns to when the world seems to turn upside down. What does the future hold for Lisa? Is Marcus part of that future, not just as a friend but something more? Read this book to find out. I grew to care about what happened to Lisa and Marcus with each chapter that I read. Lisa is a young woman who has had a lot thrown at her and I liked that she wants to understand how her world will be changing. Marcus is a young man who is in love with Lisa. He would do anything to keep her near and safe. There are other characters introduced that I enjoyed reading about and many of them are helpful to Lisa and Marcus. This is a story that is about family and love. The author has done an amazing job in making me feel I was right there with the characters. This is a book I would highly recommend reading.
Lisa: Coming of Age by KM Lowe is the first book in The Guardian Shifters series. I absolutely loved this story. The main character Lisa faces so many challenges and uncertainties, but her character remains strong. She relies on those around her, her adopted family, her best friend Marcus, and his father Jasper, to help her get through discovering a world that was completely new to her. Lisa and Marcus’s relationship was truly special. They shared a bond from childhood and then fell in love with each other. Marcus is so protective of Lisa because they are soul mates. They seem unstoppable, but they face some challenges that would rock any relationship. I really enjoyed reading Lisa’s journey as she explored a new part of her life and I look forward to reading other stories in this series.

This friends to lovers’ story is engrossing and gives you all the feels. I am looking forward to reading more from this author.

But like any curious person wants to know about her family. She has Marcus her best friend who understands her better than she understands herself. What she finds out will change her entire life?

I look forward to reading more about these characters and the adventures they will go on while discovering more about their destinies.
I have always been a fan of paranormal romance, and this book did not disappoint.
The story starts with best friends Lisa and Markus, whose bond goes much deeper than they realise.
As far as Lisa knows, she was abandoned on the hospital steps when she was a baby. She was brought up by her loving adoptive parents, but she knows nothing about where she came from. As past secrets force their way to the forefront, Lisa must deal with the fact that she is a shifter, something she has trouble believing. Luckily Lisa has a great support system in Markus, Jasper and other shifters we meet throughout. They help her come to terms with who she is, and to get ready for the biggest battle of her life.
I was completely sucked into this story and can’t wait to read the rest of the series. I loved the relationship between Lisa and Markus, but I think my favourite character was Jasper so I can’t wait to find out more about him as the series goes on.
I would definitely recommend this book.
I have loved this story. If you like supernatural stories with shifters and witches this will be a great read for you.
Lisa is an ordinary girl with dreams of going to university and becoming a doctor. Along with her best friend Markus she thinks life is boring and normal. But boy is she in for a shock.
Markus is a wolf shifter and although Lisa isnt aware of it so is she. Markus and Lisa are soulmates. So after these revelations Lisa is left in disbelief. That is until her biologocal father appears and is set out to destroy Lisa to get to her powers.
Can Lisa harness the power of her wolf in time and will Markus and Lisa’s bond be enough to save and protect them.
Lisa-Coming of Age (Book 1 of the Guardian Shifters ), was an easy to read book with well-developed characters. It seemed like it took forever for Lisa to get to her final destination, but it is necessary to the plot. This story is on the hot and steamy side and if that is your genre this will satisfy your need for that and your need for the paranormal. Lisa introduces you to characters that you will meet again. A good story.
5 Star
Lisa: Coming Of Age (Book 1 of The Guardian Shifters) by KM Lowe is a wonderful coming of age Romance that hooked me from the beginning and I couldn’t put it down till I finished. This is my first paranormal by this Author but I have read other books, I used to not be a fan of shifter stories but I must say the more I read I’ve come to love them. Lisa loves her adopted parents but wants to know about her biological family. What will happen when secrets are revealed? Marcus is her best friend and there has always been a very strong connection between them. Can these two have a future together? Find out what happens next in this absolute must read. I can’t wait to read more from this Author and this series.
Lisa’s life begins tragically when her father takes her from her mother simply because she was a girl. Surrounded by her adoptive parents and siblings, uncle Jasper, and best friend Markus, Lisa has been supported and loved by those that her around her. However, lately she has been having wild dreams that come every night. Telling Markus about these dreams sets into motion the revealing of her true family lineage which will change her world as she knows it. Lisa finds herself questioning everything she has known and wondering if the future is something she can handle. The story that KM Lowe has written puts the reader in a world filled with magic and things that Lisa believed only existed in the books she read.
I stayed up way past my bedtime to read this book because I did not want to put it down. I wanted to know what happened and how things were going to play out. Not only was Lisa and Markus’ story entertaining to read, it was also filled with real emotion and struggle that you can feel pouring off the pages. Lisa is a strong and resilient teenager that shows just how sassy and tough she can be when facing her new truths head on. Markus is a supportive best friend and soul mate that helps guide her through a world she knew nothing about only a couple of months prior. The supporting characters were also wonderful, and I am excited to read their books in the future. This is the first book that I have read by this author…but it won’t be the last.
This is a very well put together coming of age shifter romance story. I usually struggle with shifter stories, but this? Lisa: Coming of Age had me wanting more. I look forward to reading the rest of the series. Even from the heartwrenching prologue, I knew it was going to be a good read.
Lisa’s world is shaken up, turned upside down actually, when she learns the truth about where she comes from. Love survives anything, right?
Imagine knowing that your whole life you’ve been adopted. You know you’ve been well taken care of, loved, and supported but it’s not quite enough. That’s what Lisa has to come to terms with. She has so man unanswered questions when it comes to her birth family. She needs to find out what is the story behind her birth mom. It’s a journey she feels deep within her soul. She knows she can’t do this alone, so she turns to Marcus. He’s loved her for so long, and he’d do anything for her. But the question is, when the truth comes out will she embrace it, and him?
My heart hurt for her as she found out who her father really was, and losing her birth mother all in one shot. I couldn’t imagine having to deal with all that mess on top of finding out you’re not really who you think you are. Her love for Marcus really made a difference to not only her journey but his as well. They both were dealt with such heartache before they even knew what it was. It’s a beautiful story that is well written, intriguing and full of twists. I can’t wait to get started on the next book in the series!
I absolutely loved this book. KM Lowe created a very moving story and I fully enjoyed being transported into her world. Lisa Coming of Age centers around a werewolf named Lisa and her journey to discovering herself and recognizing how strong she could be. I loved reading a paranormal novel that has a strong female alpha. I will definitely look forward to reading more from KM Lowe.
Lisa: Coming of Age is the first book in the The Guardian Shifters by KM Lowe. KM Lowe put a lot of creativity into her story. She made her shifter story unique. It is a romance book with paranormal roots as well. Her characters are multi-layer which makes seeing them in my mind’s eye easy. This story is about Lisa. Lisa was left on hospital stairs seventeen years ago. She never wanted for anything in her life, until now. She was curious about her birth parents and what led them to leave her on those hospital stairs. She turns to her best friend Markus to help her understand what is going on with her. What will Lisa find out? With her relationship to Markus remain intact? This is a great book and I highly recommend you read this story for yourself.
Its been a while since I have been captivated with a shifter book. But this read was amazing, it was so nice to be transported into Lisa’s world. It was a mentally visual read that you couldn’t help but get hooked up in!
This is my first read from this author and after experiencing her writing I will definitely be wanting to read more! I absolutely loved these characters, I loved following their journey and learning along with them. I loved that this was written in various POV’s it really helps you further connect with the characters, really understand what they are really thinking and feeling. Everything about this read I loved, it has drama, passion, romance, action, emotion. I can’t wait to see what else comes to this series, and what else this author brings us! Until then this is a read not to be missed!
This book. This book had me from the beginning. I love the relationship between the main characters. I haven’t heard of this author before this book, but I’ve got the next few of this series on my to read list. I really enjoy shifter books and I feel like some are just about a bunch of big badasses, well Lisa is a badass in her own. Can’t wait to see where this series goes!
This is a story that drew me into It. the writing is smooth and reading it felt easy. It is told from different characters POV which is nice. That way we get to know what each is thinking. At times it did get a little tedious listening to the drama in their heads over and over. Lisa is being taken on an emotional journey. Her life as she knows it is changing forever with a few words to her best friend.
Overall this is a nice story. It didn’t wow me but I didn’t hate it either. It had enough action to keep me interested in her plight. This is a new author to me. I see Jaspers story Is next. I will probably give it a go.
Lisa: Coming of Age (Book 1 of The Guardian Shifters) by KM Lowe
4 Stars
Lisa grows up knowing that she’s adopted. Around the age of seventeen, she learns that she is a wolf shifter. The truth about her birth parents is hard and she’s in denial for most of the book. The next few weeks of her life put her and her loved ones in danger.
The premise of the book was good. The book placed an importance on family which I liked. I loved the fact that the story was situated in Scotland. The author added a few Scottish words here and there although I would have expected more. I found Lisa’s childish tantrums redundant and somewhat off putting. There was too much unnecessary drama surrounding her denial. I liked the other characters in the book especially Jasper. I’m looking forward to reading part two because it’s about him.
This book had me gripped from the very frist page i need to know what is going on in this world. Marcus and Lisa have a wonderful bond and are soulmates through this book you can see a natural progression in their relationship as they both grow with each other. You want witches, wolves and action packed drama you need to read this book. Wow the drama and relationships in this book make you raise your voice for them rooting for Lisa, Markus and Jasper this book is extremely well written and addictive.
I really enjoyed the relationship between the two main characters Lisa and Markus and the way they mature and grow physically and emotionally during the course of the book. There was plenty of drama and passion, and the suspense kept me reading. I loved that it was set in Scotland, as I have a soft spot for the place, and it characterised the speech and the descriptions too. Overall, this was a great fantasy read.
