Since her secret turns out to be an issue in another book in the series, and because and a lot of other elements of Kirby have been done before (her profession as a kindergarten teacher, her ‘shy but bold with the hero’ personality, her foster-care background), no new ground is broken here. Bastien the changeling leopard finds his mate in Kirby – a seemingly human woman – but something is ‘off’ about her scent. It’s a bit of a misfit in the anthology (different subgenre, a hot rather than warm rating, a much darker tone) but it’s the one that stuck with me and elevates this anthology to one worth keeping on the shelf.Ī perfectly acceptable but not terribly memorable foray into the Psy-Changeling universe populated by were-animals, humans, and an emotionless race with supernatural powers.
The fourth, my favorite, was by Meljean Brooks under a pseudonym but is not set in one of her ongoing series worlds. The first three stories were solid visits to worlds those authors have written about in other books, which contributes to the generally-strong worldbuilding in the collection. Night Shift is a collection of three alternate reality/paranormal romances and one fantasy romance, all by established genre authors.
