Blurb:


For fifty years, The Island has been a haven for shifters wanting to learn to better control their abilities, safe from the threat of hunters and vampires.

But Oberon Rex, one of the last gryphon shifters, worries it's not safe enough. Despite his wife's misgivings, he spends his evenings hunting down vampires in the name of protecting the school and the future of all shifters.

That all comes to an end when he finds out his wife is pregnant.

But leaving the fight doesn't ensure that the fight leaves him. When word comes of increased vampire activity in the nearby city, Oberon feels it's his job to investigate. His wife doesn't agree.

Will Oberon honor his promise to his wife to spend his nights safe at home, or will he do what it takes to protect the school one more time?



My Review:



The shifters are being hunted by vampires and hunters. Oberon is a gryphon shifter and one of the last. Oberon helps take care of all the shifters at the academy on The Island. He hunts vampires at night as that is when they like to come out and play or kill the shifters.

When Oberon finds out that his wife is pregnant and she ask him to stop going out at night to fight the vampires as it is too dangerous he agrees but when they get word that the vampires have stepped up their activity in the area Oberon is asked by their leader to go check in to it.

War is on the horizon for the shifters with vampires stepping up their game plan. The vampires have threatened to kill all shifters and humans. The shifters are rising up to save the day. Will Oberon rise up as well? Or will he to as his wife as asked him and step down?

I have wanted to read Shifting Winds for a while now. Well ever since I received a free copy from the author and have been getting emails introducing me to all the characters. I have really and truly loved getting these emails and look forward to the next one. With all the emails I was getting I couldn’t take it any more I had to read Shifting Winds to meet all these characters and find out more about them.

Shifting Winds starts out with action on the first page that pulled me in and didn’t let go until the last page and even now it is still hanging on. I love all the characters and can’t wait to learn more about them in future books. Shifting Winds kept a tight hold on me with each scene pulling me in until I was oblivious to the world around me. I was so lost that I felt as if I was right there with Oberon helping him fight all the way.

Shifting Winds is a great introduction to the Shifter Academy world. The world creation of Shifting Winds is phenomenal.

I would recommend Shifting Winds to anyone who likes reading about vampires, werewolves, shifters or the paranormal.
