Pick up this exciting boxset with new to you authors and some old favorites. It’s sure to please and give you hours of reading pleasure.

My review: 

I plan to read all the stories, but so far I've read them:

The Last Kitsune by Melissa E Costa: 

I really enjoyed this story, all the authors are new-to-me in this book, and I love discovering new authors. Melissa E Costa's writing style is really good and I'm curious about her other books too. 

I've never read about a kitsune/fox shifter and japanese coulture, but both were really fascinating. The world building was really good, it was like I was there with them. 

The story was unique and I liked both characters, my only probleme was that it was too short, I wanted to be in this world a bit more :) 

I definitely will read more from the author!

4,5 star

By The Moonlight by Megs Pritchard:

Fated mates with best friends to lovers! Wolves shifters - it's the most common animal shifter but I really enjoyed reading about Jordy and Stone. 

The storytelling was good, the characters loveable but a bit flat. I liked this story, only the ending was too fast. And I didn't understand that suddenly BDSM interest in Jordy?! It was like the author wanted to show us that she can write this kind of story too? Why put a bit spice in the end? Don't get me wrong, I love BDSM, but it didn't fit the story. At all. 

4 star

Shift to Gray by Kim Katil: 

OMG! This story! I started it by accident but what an awesome surprise it was! I wanted to read a shorter story and I thought it would fit, but nevermind, after a couple pages I wouldn't even care if it's a thousand pages long. It was so good! A gargoyle shifter! And hellhounds with a demon lord! Just perfect!

I love unique shifters and this book was really great. The whole gargoyle 'community' with their world, aww I really loved reading this story. I want more! 

5 star

Mountain Air by Kris Jacen:

Mountain Lion shifter! Ahh I love big cats! The story was good, the shifting scenes well written, and it was so cute that Robert didn't believed that he is indeed a shifter. 

There was a point when I thought he would shift - after the BJ scene, because the Alpha told them that he can shift after changing bodily fluids with his mate, so I thought that's it...but no. Anyway, when he finally shifted, it was really sweet, but a bit abruptly - I mean he just shiftet for the very first time while he didn't even knew he was a shifter, and everything was just perfect and he knew how to be a puma?! But anyway, I enjoyed the story!
