goodreads...
When Linden Ashby steps out with a secret and one
last night to live it up with friends, a chance meeting with a dark stranger
will change her life forever. Bikers, barrooms, brawls, and legends. Linden
will face them all for a second chance at time.
Graham Hayes is at the tail end of a long shift
as a bodyguard when he encounters a mysterious woman in red. Intrigued, the
wolf inside can’t help but notice something is wrong with her, but the human in
him doesn’t care. Determined to give her peace, Graham Hayes will walk the
arduous line between protecting his pack, and protecting her heart.
A Lycan Novella.
My take...
I fell face first in love with Shanley’s LOVE
IN THE TIME OF THE DEAD simply because 1. It’s about zombies. And 2. She is a
fabulous author. I love the trip she took us on in that one and the characters
she introduced us to. That is definitely one book I will always look back on as
one of my more favorite ones.
And that leads us to SLIP THE SKIN. When Shanley
asked if I wanted to read her little novella about Lycan’s, I figured what the
heck. And completely glad I did. It was a quick read and a fun one too. I am
rating it 4.5 stars simply because some parts seemed too rushed. Yes, I know it
is a novella, but you don’t take becoming a werewolf like it is everyday
conversation. “Oh I am a were? Good to know.” To me that was just too rushed
and I would have liked a little bit more of a freak out.
Other than that, the story was great. I really
wish it would have been a longer story. I could definitely see more story
wanting to come out. Like these characters had more to give. But all in all, I
really enjoyed it and thought that Shanley’s writing was spot on. Great
writing, great story telling, great characters. Like I have said before in my
review of LOVE IN THE TIME OF THE DEAD, I will absolutely be looking forward
to more of Shanley’s work.
