I feel sorrier for Ry than Kellan, but both have had a tough road and I suspect it's about to get even more interesting. (Hint: The knees tipped the balance for Ry!)

I'm taking a stab at this but the first chapter was a chore to get through for me. Obviously, that feeling was not widely shared from the comments. I'll soldier on and see whether the story can pique my interest after that...

James this reader is enjoying your fantasy hero! While there are some out there, real life could use a lot more!

Shifter stories are not my favorite genre and I rarely do more than sample them. Shadow Effect had my interest and hooked me from the first chapter and held me for all 40 chapters. The writing is superb, the main characters are well drawn and loveable and the plot has you on a roller coaster of emotions. There is evil mystery, subterfuge, intense drama, romantic love and a sense of family that shines throughout. This is the second book of a planned trilogy. It may be helpful to read the first one but I have not, and found no problem with diving right into this one. I certainly plan to read the next one and am hopeful for a happily ever after for the good guys. I heartily recommend this story to everyone who enjoys a good story, well told! TWO THUMBS UP!

An adroit ending which did tie up several loose ends, including the news of a cure! Thank-you for sharing your story!

Will and Travis are making progress, Zach however remains a complication. I wonder if the talk of bottoming has piqued Travis' interest?

I suspect Matty's spank bank just got refilled. Rusty thinks more clearly with his little head...as evidence by his tumescence....😯

Read this in Branson early this morning. Waited until we got home and unpacked to reply! Vacations are good, unpacking sucks! I'm enjoying the birthday cruise and the picture of them hitting the fish golf balls from the deck was perfect. The water toys were too, although the big kids seemed to enjoy them as much as the little ones!

One loose end to cover might be the laptop and the car....which I still think is at least a partial key to the hybrids....

Elias and Rhett deserve their own book!

Congrats! The Fae should be at least asked to help with the hybrids. The Fire is a wild card. I wonder how she will play?

Seems like everyone is easily impressed,including young Mr. Owen.

Will was worried how Travis would react and found out Zach had hit Travis another time as well. The dinner at Escorial should be interesting. I still think it would be interesting for Will to mention how Travis' parental unit tracks him and just how bad a dickwad the elder Buck is!

A few comments actually were relevent. My concerns were that the shape shifter still has to reveal himself to Tyler's family and how Kade can continue to help going after the tainted lion.

Too bad Rusty didn't grab Matty and reel him in for a second kiss. Jonathan committed a faux pas by barging in, how unlike him!

D.C. statehood? The GOP will never go along with adding two democratic senators. I can only echo Parker! Owen is a great dad and CJ knows it. Way too short!

The classic film is available on Amazon to rent for $3.99 https://www.amazon.com/Gone-Wind-Clark-Gable/dp/B002W7DSLW I was surprised to see Rhett Henry show up and even more surprised that Elias was able to maintain his cool as well as he did on meeting this blue eyed beauty of the current generation....

Not a happy ending! Fully exploiting the shock value of the kidnapping in a cliffhanger, the author left this reader more than a bit pissed. Life often sucks. This sucks big time!

I wonder if the family dinner might have an additional item on the agenda: How to deal with Curtis Buck.

QT is in long term care and who knows about PLou? I wonder if PLou is still at that number or address and does Vic decide to find out?

So Elijah gets to sleep with his mate, but I can't imagine the other twin didn't want the same with Tyler!

Well Matty came through and deserved his trophy. The question is how long will it take Rusty to figure out they have the hots for each other?

I'm just sorry we missed the Captain's discussion with the cook who had been warned earlier... With the adults letting slip 'adult' words, the kids' piggy banks are going to over flow!

Well thanks for the news the twins are only semi-feral!
