SYNOPSIS: Seventeen-year-old Morgan Daniel has been in the witness protection program most of her life.  But the Panteras have caught up with her and her younger brother. Her car is totaled, she’s hurt, and the street gang is closing in when wolves with glowing eyes appear out of nowhere and chase away the killers.

Then a very cute guy who handles a bow like Robin Hood emerges from the woods and takes them to safety at his fortress-like-home.

And that’s just the first sign that Morgan and her brother have entered a hidden world filled with secrets…

REVIEW:  Morgan and Jimmy, her brother, are on the run from a gang called the Panteras. There is more to the story thought. She and her brother are dropped into a world that they would have never believed existed. Where humans actually shift to different animals. Morgan finds out the wolves that come to their rescue are actually humans. The good looking young man Jackson is one of them. He comes to their rescue and takes them back to his house which looks more like a fort in the mountain. His grandma takes a look at Morgan, she has a bump on her head and needs rest. Then things get very weird. She thinks someone is watching her and finds out that there is a chief so to speak who can come and go as he pleases. It scares her.

Once she finds out about her family history and that she will be changing into a wolf soon she really thinks she has a concussion or worse. Once the group explains to her she needs to take some time to think everything through. She sees her wolf in the mirror and worries that she will hurt her brother or someone. She makes Jackson promise to protect her brother. Jackson and Morgan are pretty attached to each other. There is a prophecy about them and they are drawn to each other.

Morgan’s training starts to help her protect herself. She can’t shoot an arrow to save her life. When Jackson and Morgan kiss they let their guard down. Morgan has to shoot an arrow at the intruder and kills the big bird that is terrorizing the village.

I liked this story. It had the romance of young love, the adventure of the shifters and the suspense of the Panteras looking for them. I couldn’t put this book down. I look forward to seeing what happens next in this adventure for Morgan and her brother.

I highly recommend this story.
