This is the first Shifters Undone story I did not enjoy. I'm giving it two stars because I love the universe and background and all the characters, including Nell and Cormac. Otherwise, I would give it one star. Unfortunately, I didn't believe their love at all and kept getting upset at Nell. She is supposed to be kickass and in charge. After all, she is the bear alpha for the whole Shiftertown! She didn't feel that way here at all.
They were also instantly in deep love for no reason within 24 hours after she very clearly said she was not interested. Waaaay too fast; and yet I've believed other Shifter stories where they fell in love almost as fast. It just didn't work in this story and to top it off, the chemistry wasn't great either. It was neither believable nor entertaining. I also didn't understand why Brody and Shane suddenly trusted Cormac when they didn't trust others. This was never explained to my satisfaction; I guess we were just supposed to go along with it without reason.
This was a story I was very much looking forward to reading and it was a disappointment. I will keep reading Shifters stories but I hope they improve from here. Mate Claimed (the novel before this) was the best yet so I have hopes.
