A mystery hovers around the Haunted Bear Glacier near the remote town of Charming, Alaska. Town manager Chia Petit is determined to solve it. There’s nothing she loves better than a good Alaska adventure–when she’s not obsessed by her sexual needs or her obedience to rules, that is. Hindered by her annoying practical joker vampire roommate, helped by her happy-go-lucky dog shape shifter best … friend, Chia has more than a few challenges ahead.
Saddled with six stupid ghosts – the demons of past transgressions – as her constant companions, keeping the town of Charming safe and law-abiding should be her only worries. Not so. When Hung Durand, ultra-sexy bounty hunter and shape shifter extraordinaire comes to town, with romance on his mind, all bets are off. His tantalizing presence makes her adherence to rules vaporize as she contemplates shameless, naughty acts with the outlaw.
The sharpshooting gal is prepared for bloody battle, the likes of which neither Hung nor Red Mountainbear, a blowhard, money-grubbing conservative from Fairbanks, has ever experienced. Her mission is to keep the peaceful, shape shifter refuge out of the clutches of those that would just as soon destroy it as they would mine it to fatten their wallets.
Will Chia lose her town to those with dollar signs clouding their judgment, or will her undeniable, wanton attraction to Hung distract her efforts? Or, worse yet, will her vampire roommate take his crazy pranks too far, resulting in her untimely death? Find out in this humorous, Alaska paranormal adventure.
Interview with the Author:
Q. What makes this urban fantasy unique?
A. Possessing a love of adventure myself, I love to craft stories of being in the wilderness and facing the challenges that inevitably occur in the great outdoors. I decided to write an urban fantasy series about a remote town called Charming, Alaska. The town is populated by fishermen, hunters, and quirky town folk, as well as a wide variety of shape shifters and a vampire or two. The Charming, Alaska adventure romance series is a great blend of adventure, suspense and tantalizing romance, with the added fun of paranormal fantasy. I’ve added my own quirky preferences making this an enjoyable, exciting read.
Q. So, do you plan on writing more Charming, Alaska adventures?
A. Yes! Initial feedback from this first book has been overwhelmingly positive! I’ll definitely tell more tales of adventure and romance in Alaska.

Good story. Charming, AK is under attack. Chia is distracted by lust. The story picks up quite well after that when the struggles against nature and a greedy outsider turn serious.
I received a copy of this book as a gift. This is my honest review.
This is the second installment of the Charming Shifter Mysteries series. Chia must save her town from an evil shifter, Red Mountainbear and in the meantime, juggling a budding attraction to sexy bounty hunter, Hung Durand and a new vampire roommate. This is a fast-paced story, with unique characters and plot, witty dialogue and a semi-cliffhanger, as Chia’s current challenge was resolved, but the overarcing storyline continues through the next 3 books in the series. You’ll want to read them all!

First let me say that I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book, but it in no way influenced my feedback. I always leave an honest review.
With that said, on to the review; I loved this story. Chia seems like a normal young woman, but she’s got lots (and I mean lots), of spunk. She’s definitely a feisty, tiny female who you will love right away. She’s got a funny, horny best friend, a sheriff that’s really trying to guide her, but has no clue how, and lots of crazy psychos running around still, (and this is book 2), & last but not least, a very hot bounty hunter to deal with. 🙂
This is a gr8 interesting mystery. I really recommend this read 5 Thumbs up.

I enjoyed the first book and was intrigued when I got asked to read the second book!
It is well written with great characters and plenty of action, adventure and weird!
Give it a try!
This is the second book in The Charming Shifter Mysteries Series. The characters are interesting, and the storyline is complex, with a great world building. Dana La Voz did a good job with the narration.
It took a lot for me to finally get into this book. This first half was slow going for me. I couldn’t understand why the dynamic between Chia and Cecil, and Chia and Hung, and Chia and D’Raynged, and… well… Chia and everyone was so very different than it had been in the previous book. I was also easily frustrated by the overwhelming number of references to Chia’s lust and their mental, physical, and emotional manifestations. The second half of the book, where the intrigue takes precedence over Chia’s base urges was much more enjoyable to me. I loved that we got peeks into Hung and Cecil’s pasts as well as some hints about the powers Chia might possess. I still have questions I’d like answers to, and it looks like Chia has a new nemesis to deal with, so I’m intrigued to see what else this series has in store.
I received a complimentary copy of this book as part of a box set.
