My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was an interesting read. I have never been the biggest fan of short stories but this book is well written. It was nice to be able to complete a story fast and know the ending,

Each story is well written and you get easily wrapped up in the stories. The fact that the characters are well-developed and grow as you read about them in such a short while makes this a good book.

This book also has a good amount of spice to it that will get you going. Read this book to read the journey of a few different shifters and how they handle each of their unique situations.

This book was a hard book to put down. This book series has been amazing and keeps you wanting more at the end of every book. I do suggest reading the other books first but can be read by itself.

This book follows the stories of Shane and Winter. Shane has worked his whole life towards one goal but one night that all could change for him. One action with good intentions that could cost him everything he has worked for. As a son and brother, he just wants to make his family proud and follow his dreams.

What happens when the person you collide with seems familiar? Can someone who you can’t place be a key factor in your life? Do opposites attract or will a war ensue?

The Man In BlackThe Man In Black by L.R. Liverpool
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book was a very interesting read. I enjoyed the thriller aspect of this book. I like the suspense and trying to figure out what is going to happen next.

This book will keep you engaged and wanting to know more. This book deals with a lot of different problems that arise. Simon deals with a lot of different problems that many people go through but are not very vocal about. Although, not many people decide that they want to join a gang and be a part of that world.

Has twists and makes you want to read more. Can someone close to you do such horrific things? If you were next to a murder would you know it? Is it normal to question your sexuality? Can two men truly be happy together? Read this book to find out.
