Synopsis:
Talyn Phisher is a counselor in a world that has been turned on its ear by an unthinkable discovery: vampires roam among humans.
If all this upheaval was not enough, Talyn’s body is changing. Signs that something is seriously wrong plague her. Having been told she’s barren and there’s no hope – Talyn still longs for a family of her own, though the stories she hears from clients tell her happiness is a long shot.
Talyn wants that shot. She yearns for a man who will put her first – for who she is.
Until a stalker’s pursuit threatens everything close to Talyn’s heart.
When Talyn feels her life is in imminent danger, she reaches out in desperation to the Final Enforcement, an elite, fringe group of the police who do more than take the law into their own hands.
Only to discover Talyn isn’t what she thinks she is.
And neither is the one who stalks her.
Shifter is the first volume of six episodic novelettes in the Alpha Claim serial.

Listened to audio narrated by well Holly Elise.
This is a part of one of a six part series. It’s a short novelette about a hybrid werewolf that has no idea what she is but she’s about to learn. This review is a bit spoilery.
Dr. Talyn Phisher is a counselor, she helps others while feeling frustrated and out of sorts with her body. She 35 doesn’t realize she’s about to go through the change, she just knows her joints ache and her body doesn’t seem her own anymore. She also seems to have attracted some unwanted attention, being attacked in her office and being followed by a strange man with blue eyes.
Merck is a lycan warrior changer, he’s been assigned to follow Talyn and assist her in her change. When she is attacked he goes against protocol and steps in to protect her.
When law enforcement doesn’t take her attack seriously Talyn goes to Final Enforcement who enlighten Talyn on who she really is and all hell breaks loose.
I have to say I’m not a fan of serials but since I have the next few books ready, I’m okay with it because everything in this first segment captured my interest. I like that Talyn is a smart and successful woman, dealing with her life and perceived challenges. I don’t think Merck was given enough time on the page but the time he did have made me want to know more about him.
I received a free copy of this book and I’m voluntarily leaving a review. If you like my reviews I can be found at https://wyldheartreads.wordpress.com

Very intriguing continuing story about shifters and their escapes. I’m quite fond of Marata Eros stories. Tamara Rose Blodgett is new to me. Holly Elise Did quite well. Steamy and fascinated until the end.
