This was the first book by Ceri Greenelle I have read. And

I plan to read any others she writes. This book was well

written, It was riveting, full of funny snarky things, and of

course hot passionate moments. I will warn you a few places

I got furious with some of the characters and so sad it

brought me to tears. There is a serious part in this book that

deals with a horrible act done to a friend of Cymbeline's that

just ticked me off then made me cry. but overall I loved this

book. This is a fresh look into the Shifter universe. I just could

not put the book down. I love the cuffs the alfar puts on

Cymbeline. and what they can do when they go for a run is

when it happens and I could not stop laughing, I know a few

who would probably love those cuffs. As she was raised to

be an assassin and told she would not find a mate. she found

it hard to believe he had one. Kerrick sure has a fight on his

hands, as he knows she is his. Now he just has to prove to

her he is hers. And all he can do is set her free and hope she

returns. Now I have to stop before I ruin the story for you.

I can not wait to read the next book. I hope you enjoy this book

as much as I did. If you do like this book, please consider

leaving a review. The Authors really like it when you do, they

value your opinions too.

Love is her enemy…until his beast sets her free.

Cymbeline Kendall’s life is quiet, solitary—until a letter
appears in her P.O. box. Then she becomes an Incendiary,
a human chosen at birth to be trained to strike like lightning to
take out the most dangerous of the Werekind, then fade back
into the shadows.

She is a weapon only to be used by the leader of North
American shifters. But when she learns the Alphar was
unseated three years ago, she sets out to find who’s been
pulling her trigger.

Masterson has borne the burden of leadership for
only a short time, yet he already feels the Alphar power
tempting his soul toward the insanity that destroyed his
predecessor. He has no time for the woman who breaks into
his compound claiming to be his Incendiary, but his beast
insists he make the time—for his mate.

In one searing, soul-consuming breath, everything Cymbeline
was taught to believe is ripped away. Yet the mystery of
who’s been sending her orders remains…and finding the
answer could lead to all-out war.

Warning: Contains an assassin who doesn’t tolerate those
who hurt the weak, and a shifter leader determined to unlock
his new mate’s repressed emotions—even if that puts his
balls at risk. Explicit sex, violence, and references to abuse
that could be rough on sensitive readers.

She crossed her arms, looking away from him in

stereotypical female annoyance. It would not behoove her to

admit she was enjoying their repartee. He held out one hand

to her and stood, having recovered from her rough grip,

the other rested against his heart.

“I am sorry, Cymbeline. I was teasing again.”

She narrowed her eyes at him, unconvinced by his genial

behavior. She knew he was more devil than angel, his

mischievous nature all too clear. She possibly liked that a tad

more than she should.

“Run with me?” he asked, his hand reaching.

The moment became heavy, weighted with things unsaid

and issues greater than the both of them, issues that needed

resolving. She wasn’t for him. Not even the howling of her

Wolf within her soul could convince her.

“Kerrick—”

“Don’t think,” he said, stepping forward to kiss her

forehead. “Just run with me. Nothing more.”

She stepped back, letting the Wolf ’s presence of mind

gain an edge. Her Wolf yipped in joy and pressed the shift

upon her body. It wasn’t a painful thing as some humans

thought. The shift was a magical phenomenon and shifters

were made of magic. To shift was light within the soul and joy

within the heart.

Cymbeline twisted in on herself, a core of warmth

spreading from her heart to touch every corner of her body.

She looked down and saw her paws, her red and amber fur,

and felt completely at home for the first time since she’d

arrived at this topsy-turvy circus. Without a backwards glance

she forgot everything around her and just ran.

The dirt was a cloud her paws barely skimmed as her

lupine nature dodged between the trees. The grass flying

past her legs was cool rain petting her fur. Her Wolf leapt into

the air with such joy to be free that she nearly cried. They

were whole. Shifted into her Wolf form was the only time

Cymbeline felt as if she’d been born to be a shifter not

Turned as part of some grand design. She yipped and

howled with excitement, completely out of character for her

but just so damn fun.

After a few moments Cymbeline remembered there was

someone running beside her. She turned her head and there

was Kerrick, in all his Alphar glory. He’d chosen a Wolf for his

shifted form, a beautiful and grand gray Wolf with eyes as

black as coal. It was the gift of the Alphar, why they were the

strongest and most dominant of all the shifters. They were

true shifters, not stuck in one animal form but blessed with

the ability to change into all of them. An impassioned look of

triumph graced his face as he ran beside her and she finally

allowed herself to feel it. Shifting into her Wolf form broke

down one of the few remaining barriers she had erected to

keep the full effect of the mating from influencing her

emotions. But she felt it now. He was hers. Undeniably and

undoubtedly hers. She would never choose another; never

need another. And her faith in him was unwavering. He would

always be true, always be there for her no matter how much

he teased or joked. She’d never had anyone belong to her

like that before, and she never would again.

I've always had an active imagination. An imagination that
usually took form in the way of zoning out in the middle of
conversations. I eventually decided it was time to share my
daydreaming with the world and began to put my musings on
paper. It started with Harry Potter fanfiction and grew from there.

I am currently living it up in Northern California after a big
move from New York City. And by living it up I mean staying
home with my cats, obsessively watching episodes of my
favorite TV shows, all of which are extremely geeky, and
simultaneously reading the next book on my reading list.
I do all this while trying not to pig out on unhealthy snacks.
As you can tell, I lead a busy life.
