Jacob, by Becca Fanning

Jacob is part iv of Rodeo Bears.

Cara first ran into Jacob when she needed help at 17.  She’s followed his career ever since, and now she’s 22 and ready to follow up on her crush. But before she can talk to Jacob, she runs into men involved in the anti-shifter violence and Jacob comes to her rescue again.

In this book, the rodeo takes a backseat to the ongoing mystery of shifters disappearing. Cara offers to help search since she volunteers with the sheriff’s posse and knows the area.

This story was exciting as we’re given more information on the mystery and how serious it has become to the Tyrell clan. Much more remains to be solved in future stories, though.

There was a good mix of action and romance and I’m looking forward to the rest of the series.

Silver bullet bear, by Amelia Jade

Silver  bullet  bear is book 3 in The Agency  series.  Josh, one of the Bear shifters working in the King City underground, is given a special solo assignment  by Valen:  serve as bodyguard to the sister of a political  speaker while  they’re in town.

When Josh meets his contact at the airport he quickly learns three things about his charge, Hs  She’s gorgeous, she doesn’t  want a bodyguard, and she’s not human, but Josh isn’t sure what Hannah and her brother Chad are hiding, and that’s probably  dangerous.

Hannah has been following her brother on his round of speeches until she decides what to do with her life.  She’s mad at Chad hiring a babysitter for her but at least he’s good looking.  The attraction is instant but Hannah knows nothing will come of it.  She’ll have to move on.

As the story unfolds the dangers begin and now there are new enemies: mercenaries.  Who are they working with, and can Hannah and Josh find a way to stay together?

This book is another great addition to the series.  For maximum enjoyment, read the books in order.  The larger plot develops slowly as each book adds information and new characters.

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for a review.

Feral, by Laxmi Hariharan

Maya, raised by shifters after the destruction of Bombay, learns at 17 that she was adopted. Leaving her boyfriend and family behind, she goes off to the city to find out about her real family. As she tries to fit in with the repressed human society, she meets a boy she instantly feels a connection with, Will Maya find her family and make a place with the humans, or will she return to the shifters and the wolf she left behind?

Feral is a good coming of age tale and we learn more about the tragedy and the world that arose from it as Maya looks for her place in the world. Feral is a great start to a new world and a solid coming of age story. Writing is well done and doesn’t distract from the plot.
