In Nicky’s case, he shifts into about a 3-month old snow leopard cub. Just to catch up new folks, the premise here is that in addition to shifters who move between human and adult animal form, there are also “baby shifters” who switch between human and baby shifter form. While you could probably jump in here, the background on the role of baby shifters and small animal shifters, as well as the start of the relationship between the men, comes in the first book so starting there may be a help. Kat’s Alpha Unit One series and continues the story of Nicky and Sam and their team. Thank you to the publisher/author for a copy in exchange for a honest review So, if you’re in the mood for fluff regarding a trope that is both reliable but with a twist, this might catch your fancy!

Toss in some suspense and action (though reminiscent of the first book), some smexy, and all the various big and small shifters that make up this world, and this was easy reading.

Obviously, what this succeeds at for me is the baby shifter dynamic and though it continues to boggle, I can’t resist reading more about it. However, I challenge you to not be affected by the adorable endearing extreme cuteness, for these shifters in their baby forms cannot be denied all the cooing and awwwing that will ensue. There’s lots of personalities and possessiveness and drama on this team of humans and shifters that’s a tad cheesy and OTT but hey, I could say that about the aforementioned other series that I happen to love. clothes just magically disappear and reappear with shifting).

Not only does he have a lot of insecurities but it doesn’t help that his team leader and mate Sam, also has a hard time reigning in his topmost instinct to keep Nicky safe from the job’s dangers. Nicky, now infamous for being the first baby shifter allowed to serve on the force, is still trying to be accepted. Ever present is the extremist group that wants equal rights for both baby and small shifters by any means possible, and it’s no surprise to discover that they also have their hand in making and distributing the deadly substance. A consistent sequel that continues to expand on its original concept, so if you like shifter stories, if you like bonded mates all tied up with a law enforcement trope, then one should enjoy this.Īgain, Alpha Unit One is faced with a new threat known as Nemesis, a drug that can have far reaching repercussions for both humans and shifters alike.
