If shifters are your thing, you’ll like this book and the lead up to the rest of the series, but listen at your own risk since you won’t be able to get the entire series on Audible. As another reviewer pointed out, there are no shifters in this book (just Assasins) and they don’t come into the story until the end of book two. It did get better more towards the end, and the second book in the series was fine. She spent a little over a year in South Carolina before moving back to Arizona. She moved to Seattle Washington at the age of 22 and stayed there for twelve years before moving to Alaska for a little over two. There were a few areas that didn’t mesh well (at one point, Riley was referred to as Riley Cooper, but the rest of the story he was Riley Flynn), and you could tell the story had a few plot holes. Sandrine Gasq-Dion ( 1969 - 2017) Her parents worked for the airlines (TWA) so she was able to see a lot of Europe as a child. However, once I looked into the author, I found out that she had passed away (may she rest in peace) and the series was not completed (or even available on Audible or Kindle, as it turns out). I liked the story and all the side characters and was excited to see how the series played out and wanted to see the development between Derek and James. I’ve passed this over before but am glad I finally took the chance, sort of. Apparently, some time in book two shifters are mentioned, and then show up in book three? I don't know, but I'll find out!

Though this is called the Assassin/Shifter series, there are, in fact, NO SHIFTERS in this book. And I will definitely check out the rest of the series.

It didn't matter how many plot holes or how completely ridiculous and unrealistic it was - it was FUN. There be magic penises here, aye! But, at the end of the day, Greg Tremblay (as Greg Boudreaux) makes this SO FREAKING ENTERTAINING. Where a thirty-two year old man can orgasm 5 times in one hour. Where the guy who's never given a blow job can suddenly deep throat because he's watched others doing it. This story has a badass assassin who only kills bad guys. Seriously, one of the only reasons I've given this such a high rating is because Greg Tremblay (as Greg Boudreaux) made this flufftastic ridiculousness entertaining.
