Birds of Prey

Shifter Chronicles #1

by Crissy Smith

Mystery and love, murder and desire... It's going to be a rough week for the agents of the Birds of Prey shifter division. Cody Johnson has returned to his hometown as the division leader of the Birds of Prey for the Shifter Coalition. After the local cast leader is killed, Cody finds himself deeply involved in an investigation he can't find any reason for. To make things worse, he runs into Aubrey Reynolds, the woman he left behind once before... And never got over. The longer the investigation continues, the more Cody struggles to separate his professional and private life. But Aubrey refuses to stay out of his case and his thoughts. Aubrey has lost her Cast leader-her uncle-and has just seen the man who broke her heart. Feeling her world shattering around her, she tries to gain control of anything she can. As a security expert, she is determined to find out who is responsible for Gregory's death and make them pay. If her inquiries put her directly in Cody's path and piss him off, well, that's something he'll have to deal with. She's shocked by how he handles it and unsure how she ends up back in his arms. With a murderer running around taking out bird shifters, Cody must solve his case fast, especially once he realizes that Aubrey may be next on the killer's list. Now that he finds he is still in love with her, he won't let her go again.

About the author

I live in Texas with my husband, daughter, and three Labrador retrievers. By day you can find me at my 'day job' buried under a pile of paperwork but at night I am at my computer creating new worlds!


I have always loved the paranormal. Shape-shifters, witches, and vampires have been my number one choice of reading material so when I strated to write it was the genre I chose.

I currently have several books released through Totally Bound. I have one long running series the Were Chronicles and in March 2014 a spin-off series the Shifter Chronicles will be revealed.

I also have several stand alone novellas and novels.

I am working hard to bring more stories to the readers so they can sit back and relax while losing themselves in the paranormal romance world.

The first book in the new Shifter Chronicles series is riveting action packed romance. The author has created a fascinating shifter world full of intriguing characters that draw the reader deeper into the story. I was totally engrossed with the story from beginning to end and I can’t wait to read the next one. This is the first book that I have read by this author, but I am adding her ‘To Read’ list.

I was waiting so impatiently for this one! All I will say is I absolutely loved this new series! I will tell you I wasn't sure how I felt about bird shifters. I mean after reading all of Crissy Smith's sexy wolf shifter I was like oh sure birds! I am so happy to say I am now hooked and cannot wait for the next! The new characters that are part of the coalition are amazing! This is a total must read!

Aubrey works security for her Cast. Her uncle, head of the Cast, has been murdered. The Coalition has been called in to investigate. The head of the Bird shifters investigators is Cody, Aubrey's former lover. He tells to butt out, but she does not listen. She finds the perp but ends up in trouble. Will Cody be able to rescue her?

I liked this couple. They are strong separately and together. They butt heads a lot but learn to work together. The world building is good. It sets up the series well. The story is weak as there are more questions than answers. How did the murderer get as far as he did? Why was no alarm raised from where he came? How did he get away with it? Why? There were a few lines about his motive and opportunity, but they felt throwaway at best. I do look forward to reading more of the series.

Another cute one. So far these are like a dirty cozy mystery lol.

I am so excited to bring to you a brand new series!

The Shifter Chronicles was created as a spin-off series to the Were Chronicles series.

With the Shifter Chronicles you will have a longer story (novel length) and new characters that are several different shifter species!

For those who wanted more- I hope you enjoy! These books are for you!

The shifters around the world have announced their presence and revealed their secrets. Birds, bears, cats, coyotes and more must work together in the new founded Coalition to protect one another. Along the way, they’ll find love, suffer loss, and show everyone what the shifters are really made of.

This spin off series to the Were Chronicles will take you into the lives of each shifter faction and prove once again that nothing is impossible when you have love.

Bird shifter books are rare and good books are even harder to find. This one was ok, although I had some trouble with the stupidity of the heroine. I guess I would call her a badass-wannabe - she talked the talk, but couldn't walk the walk and this made her seem stupid. Very well written, I am interested in reading more in this series.

[Puna]

Another book about a supposedly strong, smart 'h' that is led around by her crotch. Who cares if the guy treated you like crap & broke your heart you're I the same room with him for the first time in year, doesn't that make you horny? All she does is lust after then 'hero', get manhandled by him & apologize to him. She's a total wimp.
