New Games
Shifters have to stick together if they want to survive.
Perc Alexander is one of the rare humans who can shift into an animal, in his case the form of an extinct cat. As a professional athlete who trained his body for years before the shifter revelation, he doesn't think much about this new ability. Not until the NFL suspends him for being a shifter.
Perc knew arguing the suspension would make him a target. He didn't expect being knocked out and abducted by an outfit running an illegal operation involving shifters. He finds out just how far his animal instincts will go to save himself and others from their brutal abductors. Reeling from survivor's guilt, Percival is determined to fight for his career and shifter rights. He knows for certain he is more than a football player and cat shifter. It's time the rest of the world learned that as well, no matter what it costs him.
Home Alone
When you don't trust adults, all you can do is run.
When his foster mom is captured, along with the mom of his best friends, Charley Davis finds himself responsible for them. Trusting adults is hard, but he makes the choice to do just that and calls McKenna's police officer friends. When CPS gets involved, Charley knows adults can't be trusted. Jessi and Jamie, won't let him run away by himself, which means they all go on the lam together. Living on your own, hiding from adults - both the good and bad ones - is harder than he thought. When everything goes wrong, they run again, leaving Jamie behind.
Scared, wanting their parents back, Jessi and Charley try to be strong. But even when you can shift into an animal, being the responsible one might be more than he can take.
Decisions
A wolverine had not been in her plans.
Turning into a wolverine was fascinating. Affected by the strange event sweeping the Earth, Cassandra Borden decides to keep her ability secret. None of her family changed, and it isn't relevant to her life. Though her sister would call her dull, Cass loved what she discovered in her job as a scientist. Stymied by political maneuvering she throws herself into making sure her discoveries are published and patented.
Being kidnapped in her parking lot and then waking up in a jungle with four other naked people is not what she had planned. Discovering what they need to do and the cost to her loved ones if she doesn't? Cass will have to decide exactly what she can handle, otherwise her death might be the first.
Trust
Trusting others is the hardest thing you ever do.
When McKenna turned into a cougar, JD Davidson rolled with it. After all, he turned into a bear. But standing on the sidelines with Toni Diaz as McKenna was kidnapped as well as Toni's kids? That proved harder than he expected.
Falling love with a beautiful woman should have been easy, but why would she love him? Not to mention aliens, government, and an impending invasion. Anyone smart would have turned and run. He just had to trust that maybe they would have something to live for on the other side. Alien's can't kill everyone, right?
Caught in the middle of an invasion all he can do is guard McKenna's back, trust in his friends, and kill as many enemies as possible. But when their hopes are answered, will his trust be rewarded or shattered?
Bonus: A short story about the origin of Ash. Enjoy this bundled group of novellas and short story and dive into the world of Kaylid.
