When Gregor finds a wounded shape shifter in a nearby cave he finds himself wanting to help her. He takes her in, in part to learn about her species, even though it would be certain death if the King was to find out that a human was helping one of the other species in the kingdom. Ranealya, one of the last shape shifters, has an extremely hard time trusting anyone.

The first thing that came to mind upon finishing this book is " Holy Crap! Is that it?!" I did not want this book to end.
It was such a riveting read that I read it in a day, not to say the book is short, simply put it grabs you by the boot straps so to speak and hauls you into the story until you are helpless but to keep turning the page until you find out what happens.
It was the ending that completely threw me, while I applaud it, I still want to ...more

I finished this book in three days; not because it was short or an easy read, but because it was that engaging. From the very first paragraph I was hooked! This story is beautiful. The characters are complete and full of life. You will love one character, hate another, empathize with a third, and wish death on a fourth. I highly recommend for anyone who enjoys a romantic read in a vortex of creativity. Great job Crista!
Tough, tender, no false posturing among or between the characters, just damn good storytelling. Realistic responses and relationships that develop along unconventional lines. I loved these characters with all their flaws and faults and they do dumb stuff that people do, but rise above it anyway. Some pretty hot scenes too.
I enjoyed it, although it was a bit short for my taste, I read it in one day. Good characters and imaginative storyline. Fantasy-fiction with a trace of light romance.
It took a while for this book to take off for me (about 80-100 pages) but once I got to that point, it was really good. I really liked the parallel story lines and how they eventually crossed. I liked how all of the characters grew throughout the novel, but in a natural way that didn't seem fake or rushed.
This was my first Crista McHugh book and I will definitely read another.

I received this from the Goodreads giveaway and couldn't have been happier! I do wish there weren't so many typos or misspellings but I can't wait to read more of the story in the next book!
