“Shifter Origins” is a fantastic bundle that offers another five full-length books by the Alpha-writer of shifter stories. Three first installments in their own series, a stand-alone novella set in the Dragon Mage verse and a novel set in Mexico with links to pre-Columbian mythology. The vast diversity of the stories makes this compilation a must for any reader wishing to sample Aimee Easterling work before committing to a specific series, but make not mistake….chances are you will ended up reading them all: Easterling’s gift for storytelling is both a blessing (the stories are amazing) and a curse (it makes you never stop reading)
Shiftless (Wolf Rampant Book 1)
Terra is a wolf-shifter that has left her own pack, a place that made her life miserable growing up. Terra respire comes to an end when a posse leaded by her own father tracks her down and give her an ultimatum: hunt down her (unable to shift) nephew and bring him back into the pack to ransom herself. Nothing good comes out of Terra’s father way of lead, and Terra will have to decide between take the ransom offer or stand up against the oppression.
Half Wolf (Alpha Underground Book 1)
Fen Young is hybrid human/wolf who is both an Alpha and a basically nice passive person, who does not really like the aggressive nature of Alphas…. until she meets Hunter Green über-alpha who takes her breath away and throws out of the pack…
This is the first book featuring Terra as MC, and though she is a recurrent character in the Wolf Rampant Series (whose first installment is also included in this compilation) no previous knowledge of the series is necessary to enjoy the story.
Huntress Born (Wolf Legacy Book 1)
Following the disappearance of her half-brother Ember leaves the pack for the very first time and relocates to another’s pack territory. Once there Ember natural naïvete will be tested in a daily basis: a very desirable off-limits human, a very the reaction to her treats (she loves to bake), the plans of this territory alpha to wed her to her son in just a week’s time, the violent attacks on shifters, etc. Although Terra feels slightly in deep waters, her effervescent personality makes the story a funny and entertaining one, despite the violent content.
Incendiary Magic (Dragon Mage Chronicles Book1)
The novella introduces the Dragon Mage world and can be read as stand-alone. It relates the “incendiary” story of Fee (a fire mage & phoenix) and Mason (a dragon shifter), which has a rather disturbing beginning as Fee (brainwashed by her father) infiltrates the dragon lair intend to send them all to oblivion. The chemistry between the MC works well from the get-go and makes the reader invested in the outcome
Jaguar at the Portal
That is a stand alone novel, a complex story between a kidnapper in Mexico and his intended victim. Of course, Easterling being Easterling the plot thickens with numerous details that will have to remain unsaid to avoid spoilers: if you are looking forward to shifters, you will be rewarded with not only Jaguars, but a vast variety of mythological pre-Columbian characters set against the astonishing background of the Aztec Pyramids.
Nice world building but the world’s didnt connect except vaguely. Nicely drawn characters. This might be a collection of first stories in different series.
Excellent introduction with several full-length first-in-the-series novels. It is a great way to discover a new favorite series from the author.
I loved the first 3 the 4 and 5th ones where more about dragons and I’m not as in to them… still all and all great reads
I have not finished all of the books, just the first two. I thoroughly enjoyed them so far
A unique take on classics characterization!
Love this authors stories. Plenty of action, suspense and romance
Could not finish it. Felt I was caught in a loop with different characters.
I enjoyed the first book, but didn’t care for the others.
Really interesting, unusual story.
This set had a little bit of everything, from building upon previous characters to creating new worlds.
I enjoyed the collection of books. As I have budget I will look into looking at the books in between.
I thought that this group of books was very good and very interesting.
I enjoyed the stories, could have done without the rather graphic sex scenes . On the whole it was worth reading.
Aimee Easterling manages to bring me into her story and I feel as if I am living the action. She has created a world of werewolves that is interesting, well crafted, and engrossing. When she releases a new shifter book, I try to get it as soon as possible!
I was quite happy to have the entire series altogether in one file, so I was able to read from start to finish. The extra stories I had originally missed, definitely fleshed out the later books.
I had previously bought all but two titles. I had liked those so This finished out the list.
