Priceless tells the story of Rylee Adamson who was accused of killing her sister. Since then, her adoptive parents have forced her out of their lives and she's got a permanent FBI tail. She uses her powers as a Tracker to find missing children. No matter where a child was taken, no matter how far or how hidden, [she] could find them.

I thoroughly enjoyed the world that Mayer created. Her shifters are very unique; only Alphas have the ability to completely switch between their human and/or wolf f Priceless tells the story of Rylee Adamson who was accused of killing her sister.

I thoroughly enjoyed the world that Mayer created. Her shifters are very unique; only Alphas have the ability to completely switch between their human and/or wolf forms. Others, like her "pet" Alex, are unable to switch between forms leaving them similar to children mentally with a dog's loyalty. There are vampires, ogres, harpies, and trolls as well. All of which are interesting.

I also enjoyed the interplay between Rylee and O'Shea, the FBI agent who, convinced she had something to do with her sister's disappearance, has been following her for the past ten years. However, I felt the story would have been even better if Mayer had not used Rylee's "mostly" Immune ability in the way she did.

It was a decent kickoff to a series, though there wasn't anything particularly unique or surprising. I don't particularly care for the guy clearly being set up as the love interest, though (O'Shea). But I'm in the mood for UF, and this is a fun, fast read, so I'll plug along and see how it plays out.
