A review by sshpurple1
Shift by Heather MacKinnon

3.0

The very beginning it is remarkably interesting, the middle is boring, and the ending is back to interesting. What kept me reading was that Elizabeth is a cat-loving, career-minded attorney, smart, and mentally strong who is written in a realistic way with her own issues to overcome. Abraham, though let’s be honest his nickname is ridiculous, is a male alpha to the core. Protective, loving, kind, and romantic and with a family of sisters that are a handful plus his pack.
After a remarkably interesting beginning, we get stuck with a boring middle. There is a lot of detail about the most monotonous things. From eating to choosing what clothes to wear. The romance is a bit boring since it is made clear that they are meant to be together. The serial killer mystery is pretty much forgotten about and there is no resolution. But the world was thought out and all the characters have been well developed. Elizabeth and how she deals with physical changes and accepting the family-oriented pack mentality is the focus.
The ending is Elizabeth during her first shift and a sort of acceptance. How that is written throws us right back into the interesting category. So, if you can manage through the middle you will find an interesting book. My suggestion is to borrow it before buying it.
