Samantha Logan's childhood home had always been a haven, but everything changed while she was away. She has a gorgeous new neighbor, Malcolm, who introduces her to the amazing world of the dream-walking, shapeshifting Amoveo clans...but what leaves her reeling with disbelief is when he tells her she's one of them...
And shock turns to terror as Samantha falls prey to the deadly enemy determined to destroy the Amoveo, and the only chance she has to come into her true powers is to trust in Malcolm to show her the way...
(Terra's Thoughts) This story got better as you read further. A bit slow in the beginning but that is only due to needing to set up the background of our characters. History is a must where our hero and heroine are concerned.
Samantha returns home to her grandmother following a strange and compelling set of dreams that seem to pull at her like a magnet. Her mother and father died when she was young so she really doesn't know anything of her heritage and that will become quite a problem as the story unfolds and gets more involved.
Not quite fully human and not quite fully animal thus fitting into the hybrid, halfbreed category is what makes her dangerous to some and a great hope to others. The question lingers, "Will the unknown save her or destroy her and all those who have placed a great hope on her?"
Malcolm is Amoveo. Half human, half animal total male and beyond handsome will make him irresistible to almost all females. Malcolm has found his soul mate but how to get her to him and how to tell her of the real him is going to require a ton of patience. Not only that but he must try and convince her that she is also as he is but not quite so. This will become a difficulty that will show patience is a virtue and can sometimes become deadly.
Our author has done a good job at giving us some much needed background in order to see where this story comes from and where it will be going. It just takes a bit to get to the better more action packed parts. Don't give up on this one as it does have fantastic potential that will hopefully pour into the next two installments. I was a bit reserved but really did like it in the end.
The story is quite believable with sizzling sexual chemistry that is sure to please all. I really can't wait to see where we go to next.

Hi Terra--Thanks so much for this wonderful review. I'm so pleased that you enjoyed Malcolm and Samantha's story.
All the Best,
Sara
Of all the paranormal/urban fantasy stories, I like the shifter ones the best. Setting up a story does take time and isn't always that exciting, but is so necessary understanding the story.
thanks for the review and letting us know about this book.
