Exploring another corner of Jennifer Ashley's Shifters Unbound universe, Wild Cat is set in a Las Vegas Shiftertown (instead of the Austin one of the previous books) and introduces a whole new interesting cast of characters and this time Ashley pairs a human hero with a shifter heroine.

I loved the hero, Vegas Vice detective Diego Escobar and the way that he interacted with Cassidy and her shifter family. He was every bit as alpha and as slinkily sensuous as any of Ashley's other shifter males. I especially liked the way that his background, catholic Latino with strong family ties raised in a gang infested neighbor, gives him the experience to draw on when dealing with the shifters in dominance games and allows him to honor their rituals as well. Cassidy is good as well as the female who can't believe she having feelings again so soon after having lost her mate - and that she's having them for a human. I also really liked the new characters in Cassidy's town, her cat-shifter alpha brother and nephew, and her bear shifting neighbors.

Probably my biggest nit with the story was that, while I did like some of the other subplots – a dark elf trying to get back home and an uncollared half shifter/human female determined to stay in the closet - I didn't really need them to be resolved here. The main story line could have wrapped after chapter 27 (85%) at which point the background conflicts for Diego and Cassidy are pretty much finished and I'd have been happy. But the Wild Cat just keeps going and going... to add a bit more setup for the next book about Cassidy's brother Eric and also continuing on with a hasty side trip to tie off the dark elf subplot.

Even so, I still liked Wild Cat – though not quite as much as the previous book Primal Bounds or the recent novella Bodyguard – and the teaser at the end has me looking forward to Ashley's next shifter novel, Mate Claimed. ...more

Loving this new series I'm reading. Everything just flows together in this paranormal series. Were cats, bears, mountain lions oh my and then add some humans to the mix & some Faes and you have a whole bunch of fun and at the edge of your seat reading.

This series has been just great to read. Enjoying each book and having the need to continue the saga. I'm so glad I saw this somewhere in Goodreads to start reading :-)
