Shiftless – Aimee Easterling

My Brief Synopsis:
# of Pages (per Amazon): 185

Terra is a werewolf. Sort of.

After fleeing her pack, and abusive tyrannical father, a decade ago, Terra put her wolf in a cage deep in her mind and has not let her out since. As she says in the book, she is “packless by choice.”

Then a chance meeting in a bookstore changes everything for her when she catches the eye of an alpha, in wolf form, and his beta. Despite his initial attempt to talk to her, she flees back to her remote forest cabin, seemingly because she is not chained to the command of an alpha that isn’t hers.

The problem? While on a job for the forest service she works for, her father and bunch of his goons catch up to her – and he wants something. An heir. As it turns out, Terra’s half-brother is a “halfie” and incapable of changing, making him worth nothing to their father who needs a strong male heir who can shift.

Her choices?
1) Return home, marry a man of her father’s choosing, and produce a male heir he will form into another version of himself.
2) Teach the nephew neither of them have ever met how to shift, then deliver him to the pack to be taught the ways of the pack.

Despite being the son of her older sister, who passed away years ago, Terra expects him to be just like his grandfather and every other alpha-like male in their pack. Terrifying, threatening, and all other kinds of terrible. Her first problem? He’s not. Keith is a sweet kid. Her second problem? There’s another alpha standing in her way.

Can Terra bring herself to deliver her nephew to her father and save her hard-earned freedom? Can she resist the alpha who seems to break every alpha trait she’s ever known? Can she decide what she wants and follow through on it before it’s too late – for everyone?

My Brief Synopsis:
Zelda is a witch with a problem.  She just finished a stint in magical prison for killing her familiar by “accidentally” running him over with her car… three times.  As she and her cellmate prepare to join the free world again, ancient and insanely powerful Baba Yaga appears with missions they have to complete if they don’t want to become mortal come All Hallows Eve.

The problem? Well, there’s more than one…
The only direction Zelda receives is to go to her recently deceased aunt’s house.
Said house is in “Asscrack, West Virginia.”
An aunt she didn’t even know she had and was apparently killed “violently.”
Her mission would take place there, but she was never told what she had to do to pass.

Now stuck in a beautiful old Victorian house, alone with her revived familiar, Zelda finds herself inundated with injured animals who turn it to be shifters, including one sexy-as-hell wolf alpha.

Can Zelda figure out and complete her task in time or will Baba Yaga follow through on her threat?
Can she open her heart to the people in this small town who need her so desperately, or will her past keep her heart locked up tight?

Can she even keep herself alive to try?
