He is a lion shifter and the shifter gene is unstable so on the cover he is morphing because the lion shifter gene is trying to assert dominance over the human part

Week 4: Supefied

Book choice: Allegiance by Sussanah Sandlin (Pentonvillle Legacy, Book 4)
Read: June 11
Rating & Reviewed: ★★★★.
I like this one but not the couple. While it was Cage Reynolds book, this was really a transition book. The author introduced new supernatural creatures and abilities as well as crossed over with her Omega Forces series, see Storm Force. I don't like how the author abandoned the love triangle.

In the prior books, Matthias Ludlum (Will's evil father) was the enemy, and in the last book he was captured by the Penton Vamps. Aidan was offered a seat of the Vampire ruling council and Pentonville was considered an allie area.
In this book, someone rescues Matthias before his execution. the same person began sending flyers, troublemakers to disrupt the Pentonville's utopia.

Human residents of Pentonville was promised a peaceful town where they can exist along with vampires as a family. The humans had to be unvaccinated and would feed the vampires, in exchange, they were given jobs, protection and family.
Well the new enemy made it clear that there would be no peaceful existance and human feeders began leaving Pentonville.

Now the pentonville vamps were down to 1 human per 4-5 vampires, and the ratio could get worse if more people kept leaving.

The General in Storm Force sent a couple of Omega Force agents to help 1)find Matthias 2) find the source of the sabotage.
The agents had special abilities. for instance, Nick could read someone's past by touching an item they touched. Robin, was a bird shifter.

So with this new elite counter-terrorism team, the author introduced Shifters to this series.

Anyway, Robin takes an immediate liking to Cage Reynolds. Cage was still trying to resolve issues with Melissa from the last book, but this bold shifter had him intrigued. And at first it seemed like Melissa and Robin might arm-wrestle for the rights to be Cage's bedmate...but the author kept the focus on the sneak attacks on Pentonville by the unknown enemy.

But who was targeting the peaceful Penton residents and why? Also, what's the deal with the new shifters popping up in Pentonville? Herr Frank Geyser, a member of the Vampire council and a known opponent of Aiden, has some new plans in motion that will change the balance of power between humans and supernatural creatures. Matthias Ludlum was just a pawn, and Pentonville is just a small town he plans on crushing as he continues to his ultimate goal.

as you can see, i really liked this one. the author upped the ante by adding shifters, bird, cat and canine. We have a psychic who can read the past coupled with Hannah who can read the future. There is about to be an all out brawl in Alabama. I am excited for the future of this series.

Sigh. I always get annoyed with myself when I grab a book that's been collecting dust on my shelf for literally years and finally read it and really love it. Although that's less annoying then doing the same thing and hating the book and thinking I should have purged it eons ago. But anyway...,

This was my first Kathryn Kennedy and I loved every word. Yes I figured out who the bad guy was and what was really "wrong" with our heroine Felicity pretty early. But it was a very fun read. Excellent world building. I want a dragonette now like Daisy. There is a bit of sex in this including a graphic consummation scene. So someone looking for tons of sex might be disappointed and someone looking for just a sweet romance might also be disappointed.

[~Melissa~]

@Ezi - how have I missed this series??!? Sounds like a series I would love and yes you just heard the THUD of my TBR getting longer :)

It's seriously underrated. Katya convinced me to try it and I liked it. It's not overly complex, so it's a medium series compared to Kate Daniels or some heavy UF but not as light as Argeneaus which I just got book 2 on audio.

Amazon and audible always gave it on sale for around $1.99

Oh cool - a book I could listen to. I'll search Amazon a little later for this series. I need a good audio :)

Week 4

Book: Fair Game by Patricia Briggs
Shelf: Supefied
Finished: 6/12/14
Rating: ★★★★★
Review:

Being the Enforcer of the Northern American werewolves is taking it's toll on Charles. Haunted by the ghosts of those he's had to kill, he is retreating into himself and closing the mate-bond with Anna to protect her. But our fierce Omega is fighting for him and she stands up to Bran to make him see the changes in Charles.

As a sort of distraction, they are sent to Boston to help with a serial-killer case. It is soon discovered that there is more than one person and they are using Fae and Witch magic to brutally murder Supernaturals.

Man, this woman can write! I love how she takes the supernaturals and makes them the scary monsters they are. Even with Charles on a leash, he's the baddest monster around. He's also very protective of Anna and tender with her. It takes time and the thought of possibly losing her before he starts to open up to her about what's going on with him but in the end they are closer than ever.

“Honor, duty, and love. He would not sacrifice Anna for his father and all the other werewolves in existence. Given a choice, he chose love.”

And that ending! Whoa, that was spectacular.

“I told them," he said in a clear, carrying voice, "that they should not give someone as old and powerful as I a daughter to love. That it would end badly.”

[~Melissa~]

Way to go Nichole - I loved Charles and Anna together. I'm still hoping she'll write more stories for those two : ) One can always hope!

[Nichole]

According to GR Dead Heat is coming out in 2015. I hope so!

SQUEE!!!! I had no idea. Happy dance - well except that we have to wait a year *whine*

[~Melissa~]

Sorry I had to stop my book to finish a book for SS challenge. I should be back to this book tomorrow and hope to be done Monday at the latest. Summer school this week as well as grad parties and Father's Day are going to kick my ass this weekend.

[Nichole]

I need a new Bingo shelf so I can decide what to read for PtP in RRRC! I'm gonna need it to be tomorrow already.

[~Melissa~]

Too funny Nichole :D

[Belinda]

Updated to here. Requested our stamp for orange/yellow cover. I don't think I've missed anything....

I should be finished my book tomorrow

[Nichole]

My free space review is Here.

[Belinda]

Got it! Thanks nichole :)

[Ezi]

I'm with you Nichole,
These weekend shelves that are called late throw me off my Starter plan.
I'm going to take my kids to the movies later today so I'll check the thread when I get back

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

By my reckoning its a little under 11 hrs from now ;)

[Nichole]

My vote is this:

A) Call it anyways

OR

B) Go to bed now, sleep for a couple of hours, get up and call a new shelf, then go back to bed :D

Reasonable right? LOL!

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Sorry, there are some people on other teams that get narky if we have early shelf calls, even when tornadoes loom :(

[Nichole]

Okay, okay. I'll be good and not bug. I live in tornado alley so I don't wish that on anyone!! Scary stuff!

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

No worries Nichole, read shorts and pace, and don't forget the margaritas :D

[Mary X]

I know I wish the shelves came on Friday night so we had all day Saturday & Sunday to read. But they can't please everyone.

I don't get why people would get annoyed with a shelf call coming early unless it's there's a bunch of teams that could possible get a bingo shelf called. And it's too early for that. It's not like there's bonus points or anything for finishing early near the beginning of the game.

[Mary X]

I'm going to a family party tonight and probably won't see the shelf until late or in the morning.

[Nichole]

Shelf #5 ~ 15/6/14: 'Green/Teal Cover Colour'
The majority of the cover must be green or teal.

Remember, any cover of the book you read qualifies.

[Belinda]

Thanks Nichole! Sandra & mr R are announcing when I've been in the shower the last couple if weeks..... O.o

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Hah, I haven't made it that far yet. LOL

I don't have any green books on my June starter plan since I read
:(

[Belinda]

I've spent the last hour looking for green covers that will also work for TCF's SS Challenge this week.....

Finally: one book:

[Nichole]

I have 3 books to choose from but I'm too caught up in Daughter of the Forest to decide tonight. And pacing and waiting for our last review to come in for SS, lol.

[Ezi]

Does this have enough ?
(Chicagoland Vampires, #2)

[Nichole]

This cover might work

[Ezi]

Sighing...Thanks Nichole. I think I found another one. is my choice

[Nichole]

Well that's a good one.

Week 4: Superfied

Finished: 14/6/14
Stars: 4
Review:
Although I love this series I feel I may be experiencing series overload with the dark heavens. Some of the storyline a are repetitive and the interplay between human name, Chinese/mythical name and nickname are getting confusing as there are now so many characters and remembering who is who and how the relate to the story is getting difficult too but it may be because if the huge time between books. I will be continuing on as I really want to see how it all ends.

[~Melissa~]

Hope you all had a great weekend and everyone enjoyed their Father's Day with their Dad and/or the Father of their children :)
My weekend was too busy to pick a book. I'm about 50% done with my supified book. I was hoping this shelf would work with my Bingo shelf call - yeah - no luck. I have a couple of options - I'll decide for sure by tomorrow.
