This book is a thrill ride from beginning to end filled with unpredictable twist and turns, action, romance, and Marc! *sighs* Beware the werecat series is an ADULT series.

For example, when I received my copy of Shift I began reading it at 9pm and by the time I looked up it was 6am. The books just suck me in from start to finish.
