Whether transforming under a blue moon or prowling the streets, the shifters come alive to fulfill the wildest of fantasies in this seductive anthology by four masters of paranormal romance. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - 2 Keeper tales in this satisfying anthologyI read a lot of anthologies and if I find one good story in the book I'm satisfied. Shifter is unusual for me because 2 of it's stories are keepers. The first and last stories are excellent. Angela Knight writes an excellent short story about a runaway empress and the slave werewolf she purchases. It was both dense and satisfying, relying on character and a little bit of world building, and lots of fun. The last tale about a selkie and a school marm, was both romantic and magical. I ...

She can make her characters come to life and is a clever, talented author. The other three stories, unfortunately, were not even interesting reading and I will not be buying books by any of those authors. Rating: - 3.5 starsAngela Knight's was okay. Lora Leigh's about a school teacher had no plot (I was getting Laurell K. Hamilton flashbacks!). I felt it was the most terrible of the four. Alyssa Day revisited the shifters in her Atlantis series. I liked that one because it was nice reading about the alpha of the panthers that Bastian is now an ambassador of, as well as Bastian's sister get together. My favorite was by a writer I have never read before, Virgina Kantra. Her short story was about selkies. I enjoyed ... Read More Rating: - 3.5 starsAngela Knight's short story gets 2.5 stars for being forgettable and boring. Lora Leigh's story gets 4 stars for having another hot, hot 'breed', but really nothing new here. Alyssa Day's story gets 3.5 stars for being good, if not memorable or new. Virginia Kantra's story gets 5 stars for bringing a fresh new storyline with interesting characters. This was the highlight of the four books and I had never even heard of this author before I bought it!
