Shifter’s Pride (Spirit Walker’s Saga Thrillers Book 2)

SUSPENSE/THRILLER:  Feather Woods is devastated when she visits her best friend but finds her brutally murdered instead. When the police arrive, Detective Shaw recognizes Feather as a girl he knew many years ago. He is concerned about the brutality of the murder, as is his partner Apple Shade — especially when there is another murder, and a victim who also knew Feather Woods. How is she connected to all of this? Detectives Shaw and Shade are spirit walkers and are aware that this is not an average murder. Feather and her brother Raine are shifters. Concerned that Feather is now in danger, the shifters must work with the detectives to find the murderer. Can they do so without falling for one another?

This book is not for the faint of heart; it will definitely get the reader’s blood pumping! Detective Shaw and Feather Woods have amazing chemistry, as do Detective Shade and Raine Woods. The story jumps back and forth between different times in order to provide more of the characters' backstory; at times, these transitions are not smooth. The villain of the story is quite terrifying and sadistic, although the motive may seem unrealistic to readers.  Even so,  Ms. Hawks has done a wonderful job at building heart-racing suspense! This Native American paranormal story is a quick and intense read!
