My long nails are toast. Infected: Shift had so many edge-of-your-seat scenes and action sequences paired with emotional suspense and drama, that I needed an outlet. I was out of chocolate so my nails paid the price from reading chapter after chapter of intelligent, gripping and sharp as a blade storytelling. Ms. Speed has cemented my continued fascination with Roan and his life’s challenges with this clever and well written tale full...more

What can I other than I loved it, loved it, loved it?! Oh boy, I really hesitated reading the rest of this series despite loving the first one, as I knew Paris was going to die, but now, I am so glad I eventually pushed on, as this has become one of my favorite series. Andrea Speed's characters are unique; flawed, depressed, dark and yet funny, protective and undeniably loving. Her dialogue flows well, and truly reflects the individual characters, often with the perfect amount of sneaky sarcasm....more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. I have to say that (so far) this was my least favorite book in the series. If we could do half stars, I probably would have rated it 3.5. Don't get me wrong, I still liked it, even if for no other reason than I just love these characters and Roan's snarky commentary. But I was a little disappointed because I felt like it got silly in places, like a Cut & Run novel (I enjoy C&R, but you have to admit it gets a little ridiculous). Thus far, I had held this series in higher esteem because w...more

Okay, apparently that’s not true either, because I loved it, which I suppose means that I more than liked it. ::sigh:: I think I get too involved with the characters in the books I read, which may or may not be entirely normal. The jury’s still out.

Is it just me, or does this series keep getting better? Roan McKichan keeps getting more complex, even as what he is and how (or if) he’ll survive it becomes more questionable. The love of his life, even in death, is still so much a part of him that Paris emerges as Roan’s conscience/subconscious/the light in Roan’s shadows to force him to confront and decipher what he feels. Absolute power may corrupt absolutely, but it helps to have a subliminal voice and conscious presence that aren’t afraid to swat you on the nose from time to time for your hubris and shortsightedness. Roan may find he needs that more and more as he evolves.

His boyfriend Dylan is so much a part of Roan that he keeps him tethered to what makes Roan human—his ability to love and the need to protect and to be connected to someone in a tangible way. The most difficult aspect of it to puzzle out at the moment is what does Roan want more: to die and be with Paris or to live and be with Dylan? Not only is Roan a hybrid of species, he’s also a hybrid of existence, balancing between life and death, conflicted by whether he’s a man with lionesque tendencies or a lion with human tendencies. The scales seem to be tipping toward the latter, but only time will tell if he will be able to find some symmetry between the two. Dylan and a growing circle of friends who have lain claim to Roan, a circle of friends who want to protect him in spite of how capable he is of protecting himself (maybe they’re protecting him from himself) may be the greatest equalizers. That is, if the noose that is Roan’s virus doesn’t yank the chair out from under him first.

Divided into two separate books, Shift and Bloodbath, the stories involve unrelated cases but are unified by the continuing storyline of Roan’s relationship with his Self, his virus, and with those who care so much whether he lives or dies. The contingent of those who’d like to see him dead seems to be growing, evidenced by the fact that they’re becoming bolder—much to their own idiocy. But the list of those who want to see him live is growing too, much to Roan’s benefit. Now he just needs to believe he’s worth their efforts. I can’t help but believe that the more people who want Roan to live can only make him want to live more. Either that or it’ll make him want to push them away for their own good. Roan’s stubborn like that.

There’s an Arabian proverb that says, “Death was afraid of him because he had the heart of a lion.” I hope Roan’s happy ending proves that proverb to be true.

I also hope I don’t have long to wait for book #6.

After thinking about it, I’ve come to the conclusion that this is my favourite book in this Infected series so far. It’s more assuredly written for a start with a cohesion which has been missing from some of the other books. It’s tighter in terms of pacing, and less inclined to wander off from the plot. I also found that the two parts of the book were more fluid in the way they were connected than in past books and I was pleased to see that some of the niggles I’ve had in the past with the writing were all but ironed out in this book. There’s still the great characterisation, the imaginative and complex setting, and the breathtaking emotion that can be found in the other books but that is now coupled with a maturity in the writing which made the reading experience flow more smoothly.

Shift follows on almost directly from the previous book Freefall. Like the other books, it’s divided into two linked parts. Part one follows Roan as he looks into the death of a murdered transexual woman and in part two he is on the case of a missing spoiled rich kid. Throughout the book, Roan is trying to combat depression and save the world at the same time. His increasingly reckless behaviour, especially after being told his next shift could cause a fatal brain hemorrhage, puts pressure on his relationship with Dylan.

I’ve said in previous reviews that I wasn’t wholly convinced about Roan’s relationship with Dylan, that I thought that Dylan was just too wishy-washy as a character and as a result paled into insignificance alongside Roan. I was pleased to see that this book began to build a little on Dylan as a character. We see some things in his character which showed me a little of why he is good for Roan and that made me a little happier about their relationship. Dylan still comes across as a bit of a mother hen, who spends much time worrying about Roan, but that is tempered by some touching scenes between them. Another reason why their relationship is beginning to feel more solid is that the spectre of Paris is starting to diminish a little. He’s still there in Roan’s heart, and always will be, but I felt that he wasn’t casting as much of a shadow over Roan as he has in the previous two books. I liked this development, although maybe fans of Paris might not be so happy.

Another reason why I enjoyed this book so much was because of the introduction of the ice hockey team. One of the team, Grey, initially employs Roan to look into the death of his friend’s sister, but gradually over the course of the book Roan is introduced to the rest of the hockey team, especially Scott, the team captain, and Tank, the nutcase goalie. These guys provided a breath of fresh air to the series mainly because they provide a completely different type of friendship for Roan. All of Roan’s other friends, with perhaps the exception of Holden, seem to be there so that they can nag at poor Roan and point out how much of a reckless idiot he is. The hockey team, however, like Roan’s recklessness, and even encourage it! So instead of cautioning Roan not to get involved in fights, they jump straight in and fight alongside him. It was all great fun and brought some much needed lightness to the series as a whole, even if it was in the form of a rather black comedy. the book came alive when Roan was with the hockey players and I hope they are going to be a regular feature in the rest of the series.

The more serious side comes from Roan’s adapting body, as he struggles to keep control of the lion inside him. As with the rest of the series, these parts were totally gripping and sometimes very violent. Those who are a little squeamish may not enjoy these parts too much but I loved the visceral action and the almost dispassionate way that Roan describes the changes happening to his body. The story builds on this until a final scene which was very gory and which gave us more insight into Holden as a character.

Overall, this book shows an author coming into her own as the series really picks up the pace. I feel like I’ve missed an awful lot out of this review because I hadn’t had the space to talk about the wonderful development in all the secondary characters, or the way that Roan is deepening his association with Holden or the changes in Roan’s virus, but those who love this series will be able to find that out all for themselves. If you’re an UF fan and you haven’t started this series yet, then you really need to get going because this is turning out to be one of my favourite UF series and shouldn’t be missed. (less)

Andrea Speed's Infected series is simply too good. There isn't anything to not like! No niggles, no inconsistencies to make me stop and scratch my head. Wonderful language, well paced story line, inrticate and unbelievably good world building. And all this is just the foundation for the rest of the goodie bag. Oh my!

Roan has come to sort of a crossroads. He has struggled most of his life to find a reason to go on, and mostly his answer has been a finger in the face of those that doesn't approve of his infected status, his gayness, his general attitude. After loosing Paris he has tried to just be numb to the world but it doesn't seem to be working. Against all odds he is accumulating new friends; Holden the Hooker becomes his assistant, Fiona the Dominatrix stedfastly keeps by his side and boyfriend Dylan is fast growing into something far more serious than a warm body to cuddle up to in the night. And then one day Roan is "adopted" by a hookey team, who, against all odds seems to like him. WTF? Maybe he isn't altogether unsalvageable after all? No matter how many pills he takes to numb out the world he is continuously faced with the facts of his life and his capability to love and connect with other humans. Maybe he should roll belly up and let people love him. But with love comes great responsibility. Roan realizes that his relationship with Dylan puts Dylan in danger. Will he be able to let Dylan go, and if he does, will the downward spiral that is his depession finally be to much for him?

I loved every minute of this book and tried to stretch it out as long as possible, knowing that it will be a long time before I get to see Roan and the rest of the MC's again. I absolutely adore them all! Once again I have to praise Andrea for her wonderful sense of humor and the way she integrates it in her books. The dialogue is funny and snarky, the witty comebacks serves to take the edge of otherwise extremely violent situations, and though the stories are dark and somber in a
"Seven" kind of way (did you ever see that movie?) the overall impression is one of hesitant hope for the future. Way to go Andrea!(less)

What an exceptional ending? this book was to the Infected series. Roan and Dylan are having their relationship ups and downs due to their own insecurities and a long tally of lies on Roan's part. The virus seems to have mutated making Roan one of a kind Infected and Dr. Rosenberg doesn't even have a clue about what is happening in Roan's body. Roan manages to pick up two big clients. He is hired by Grey Williams who is a professional hockey player to find the killer of a pre-op transsexual friend of Grey's. The case has been sitting cold in another precinct but Roan soon heats it up. Roan and Dylan also manage to inherit Grey's entire hockey team and a great extra cast of characters. The second client is a creep of a software billionaire named Robert Hatcher who wants Roan to find his missing son, Jordan. The Hatcher case brings more of a focus on Holden and his many talents as Hatcher has more secrets in his closet than you can imagine. I did not read the previous Infected books so this new, novel approach to shifters was all new to me. Ms Speed has created a dark and edgy new world which I fell into easily. Roan, Dylan and Holden were all perfectly thought out and developed characters with their own strengths and flaws. I was a little bit lost about Paris at first because of starting with book five but that was the book the publisher wanted reviewed. I plan on starting the series from the beginning very soon. The hockey team was a riot the way they just picked up Roan and integrated him into their ranks. Scott, Grey and Tank were fun secondary characters. Holden was my personal favorite character with his no bullshit attitude. Yes Roan and Dylan were the central characters in the book but Holden was clear cut and not as angsty as Roan and Dylan. Robert Hatcher was just evil incarnate and should have been killed in my opinion. I am in awe of how Ms Speed managed to juggle such a large cast of characters and still have the storyline read almost flawlessly. The action and suspense in this book never let up and while the book can be read and enjoyed as a stand alone as I read it, I would suggest that the books be read in order so some holes are filled in. I heartily recommend this book to anyone looking for a unique spin on a shifter story with more than enough action to keep any reader's attention.(less)

In the two episodes of the book, there are quite a few changes.

Roan is changing physically and it seems he gets stronger but also more fragile at the same time. On one hand the lion virus allows him physical strength, inhuman reflexes, exceptional powers of smell, on the other hand it seems to take over beyond Roan's control. There is still a degree of consciousness in Roan, but it seems to become more strenous and it leaves him spent and tired after every change - and we're not talking about the virus cycle, since Roan is no more subjected to those, we're talking about more or less willing shiftings. Even if Roan feels he might lose his humanity, in my opinion he's instead getting closer to it. He breaks down a couple of times, showing a vulnerability that really moved me, and he doesn't do it all by his lonesome but in front of people who know him. I wasn't expecting this and they were wonderful moments.

Roan and Dylan's relationship is changing. Dylan is more solid, more present as a character, he is not only the cute and mild boyfriend, he shows he can be stubborn and tough and that he can fight for Roan and for his love. He's in a very uncomfortable position, he comes after the immense Paris, and he knows it, but he also believes that what he can give is far more important than what he can receive from Roan. It's a desperate and pure love and Dylan is earning his place next to Roan.

What's changing is that Roan has found friends he can rely on. The Falcons hockey team with their mix of crazy players provides a sort of stress relief even for the reader. It's not clear what they find in Roan - Dylan keeps telling him that they made him their gay mascot - but Roan provides him with the same adrenaline they find in the game.

The world is changing around Roan because he's becoming more visible and a catalyst for both the Infected haters and the infected who are without a leader and a defender. Roan is a political statement in flesh, but while he's facing the haters, he shies away from the infected, refusing to take the lead in order to protect the people who are closer to him.

About the two cases Roan investigates: I like very much that the author doesn't wrap them up with a pink ribbon making a real superhero of Roan. There is never a resolution that allows the reader to walk away from them with a sigh of relief. The cases are ugly, the world is imperfect and that's what you get: imperfect ugly resolutions. It's always Roan's struggle that makes you go on. And the action hooker, Holden. I didn't like him so much the first time I met him in the series, but he's become an essential part of it.

I am addicted to Roan. Before I forget, I don't know if I ever praised the covers, but they're fantastic and this one is gorgeous, absolutely perfect to show Roan's mixed nature.(less)

I love the evolution of this epic saga. Roan keeps changing while still holding on to the men in his life. Great series. Highly Recommend.
