Shapeshifters Galore!,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Sexy Beast Iv (Paperback)
Bought this book especially to find out how Adam and Eve get together but also how Oliver got healed. Sadly, as happens with short stories, the main plot is sort of explored but the two main sidelines - Adam finding his mother and twin sister he never knew he had and Oliver's miraculous healing - are merely touched upon which I find an extreme shame. Maybe, in this instance, this storyline should have been treated to a full book - there was definitely more than enough material to extend this tale from 90 pages to the full 270 ... essentially using 90 pages each for every story part touched in this issue. With Kate Douglas usually dealing with various issues in great detail, I am sure she would have succeeded in doing it here as with other stories in the past - Chanku Destiny, in my opinion at least, would have been much better as a full story rather than a short.Abundance by Deanna Lee I very much enjoyed and found to be perfectly suited as a short story. This tale essentially concentrates on two people meeting in the middle of a jungle, her having crash landed on a planet that is essentially off limits and him spending a year in solitude finding the intruder and being determined to protect her from harm. Naturally, all is not as it seems and as time passes more and more details become apparent. Overall, a most interesting and intriguing storyline with only one negative aspect - if the destiny of her sister was not meant to be known, why mention it in the first place and peak the readers interest only to then not follow through? Tale number three - Passion of the Cat by Dawn Thompson - was not exactly your every day, run of the mill story. First of all, we return to 1810 and the wars in India ... although that may not be quite as clear cut in the beginning. The male protagonist is attacked by a snow leopard and nursed back to health by a local healer with a rather different way of healing than we are used to - only to then be sent on his way back to his troops. He is subsequently retired and we find out he is a blue blood in need of an heir ... only to find himself loosing track of time whenever the moon is full. And while I generally am none too fond of historic stories where women's value generally comes from leading a virtuous life and belonging to a male - this one has none of it really (okay, a little bit, but it's bearable) with the three main characters well defined and the storyline a joyful experience.

So many Chanku and yet find biological family,
By Heather Watkins - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Sexy Beast Iv (Paperback)
Ulrich just could not wait to get Millie and her biological twins together, since her uncle gave them away after birth. Millie did get a chance to meet Tala but the Chanku packs could not find Adam.UNTIL....Oliver was driving down a road going back to the Montana pack after picking up a truck for Stefan for his birthday. He noticed a man and briefly looked at him. It was pouring rain and just as he passed the man, Oliver's truck broke down. Talking about coincidence. They wound up sleeping in the truck. Adam has been figured out to be a healer/fixer. Once they reached the ranch, Adam and Oliver really got to know each other-one problem though, Oliver is not Chanku-or at least so we thought, when a secret is revealed about Oliver that again, Adam fixes. While Adam is staying at the Montana's ranch, he meets a soon to be Chanku, Eve. They begin to slowly talk and then the heat rises and before you know it, they are under the sheets. Everything feels right to both of them and all is good, except Eve is getting a little nervous. She talks to Anton. As long as she is not in love with Adam the mating really cannot take place. Anton loans Eve the truck and off she goes. This novella is yet another that I could not wait to finish and get to the next---Wolf Tales VI (Wolf Tales (Aphrodisia)). 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful

Love those shapeshifters!,
By Crystal Kay "A Book A Day" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Sexy Beast Iv (Paperback)
This was a necessary purchase for me, being a "Wolf Tales" addict :)Chanku Destiny introduces us to Adam & Eve, the newest members of the Montana Pack, as well as giving some very important background information about Oliver. Abundance was a futuristic shapeshifting (jaguar/panther?) story that I personally didn't find all that great. But being part of an anthology often leaves a lot to be desired, since the author doesn't have the time to really clue us in on the whole story. Passion of the Cat was a historical shapeshifting (snow leopard) that was an enjoyable read. Again, it could have been better had the story had the space to build. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful
