Good premise but a lot of things just weren't fleshed out.

Shiftless was very Relentless (Karen Lynch)-meets-Bound by Fate (Mandy Dowson)-esque. It had the struggle of trying to find a balance between their "darker side" and maintain their tenuous independence (Like Sara), with the steadfast loyalty and mate-like behavior that dictated them keeping their mate and pack safe at cost to their own well-being (Like Beth). I loved it! And the bit about Patricia Briggs's books had me fangirling from the very start! So much packed into one tiny book.

A absolutely ADORED that lil sh** nephew of Terra's, Keith. He was so precious and arrogant and way too enthusiastic about all things werewolf. I LOVED HIM!! He was very contradictory with his dismissive treatment of his father (who's oblivious as all get out, by the way) and then immediate acceptance and gravitation to his mysterious aunt Terra, which he hadn't even know existed until she showed at his "sickbed." Whatever. Loved him anyway!

Wolfie was just all kinds of awesome packed into a dominating, though also submissive, package. I literally can't pin him down as being one or the other. He is both. And he is AWESOME. I can't wait to see where Terra's and his relationship takes them next!

Highly recommended for those who have quality taste in the paranormal (specifically if you are a Were-Nerd like me). You won't regret this quick and tantalizing read. And fear not, just under 200 pages is PLENTY of time for this story to progress in its full potential. Happy Reading!

The plot and character building were enough for me to enjoy Shiftless. It was enjoyable and a good palate cleanser, though nothing amazing. I would like to continue the series to find out what happens with Terra and Wolfie and how their packs will move forward after the end of Shiftless.

It’s was a fun light read, didn’t really feel there was any tension due to the quick pacing. Also why does the author use parsing so much? I feel it’s almost every page! References to pop culture items thrown in like dance dance revolution felt a bit jarring to me.

Disclaimer: I won the audio book through a giveaway on The Storygraph. 

I'm usually not that much into werewolves, but this story was a lot of fun to listen to. The narrator was also great! Would recommend, and might read/listen to the other parts of the series.
