Clear your schedule! Readers of this novel will be unavailable until this entire book is finished! Ms. Shultz has penned an entertaining and suspenseful work in “Hearts of Prey”. This enticing story grows with every howl and deceptive thought. What lacks in romance is made up in science and creative subject matter. The characters are well drawn but they also leave readers with some unanswered questions, possibly leaving room for a sequel. Shaka our heroine is easy to love, her independent attitude is true to her being. Her BFF Rena is a curious add, she’s very hot and cold throughout the tale (not your typical bf personality). Adrian and Winston are the heroes in a complete opposite stance. The unity, family bond, and love of nature anchor this story to the beauty of human and animals coexisting domestic or wild.
