So good! Ellie St. James is a nursing student who saves a little boy and unwittingly enters the world of shapeshifters. Her assigned protector Carter Ballis, who is also a bronze statue in his shifted form, tries to keep her alive when she is caught in a shifter war. I love that Ellie is feisty, but innocent. She's shell-shocked by the revelation that shifters exist and having to see brutality that she never expected. Love her. I'm reading through my TBR, but actually purchased the 2nd book because it was $1.99 and I need to read more of this series.
