The Apex Shifter Complete Set: Books 1 – 3 by Emilia Hartley

A Must Have Series
if you are new to paranormal stories and shifters, in particular, then I believe that this is the series that will sway your mind.  I confess that I love reading about bears so these were winners before I’d even read them but they certainly lived up to and exceeded my expectations.

Whose After Thorn’s Territory?

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.  We are introduced to Thorn, a Kodiak alpha bear shifter who is the largest shifter in Ripple, Oregon. Now he’s a peace loving bear who is only interested in fighting and having fun with the ladies!  Felicity is a property developer form out of town and she is here in Ripple to see if there is the potential for building a shopping mall, high rise buildings and changing the nature of the whole town.  It’s in Sally’s bar [she has been after Thorn for ever so long but he never notices her], that Thorn notices when Felicity walks into the bar. In fact everyone notices her as she is so out of place.  When she walks back out three creeps follow her so Thorn follows them as he knows that they’re up to no good.  There he finds that they have tried to ambush her so Thorn goes to the rescue and by the time the creeps are running away she has got in her car and sped away, but he paused as he was so surprised that she had been so calm!  A puzzle! She returns to see Sally and threatens her into selling her bar as Felicity is determined to get rich with this scheme of hers.  But things start happening like Thorns property being damaged. Who would dare threaten the biggest alpha around??  Is someone after his territory?   Will felicity tell him that she is a mountain lion shifter? Secrets are revealed from the past that are effecting today.  As they get to know one another better their attraction and lust increases are they mates? Will they get their HEA? Will Thorn discover who is behind the ‘pranks’?  For you to find out you need to read this latest book by Emilia Hartley.  I really like reading paranormal stories, especially bear shifters an so I knew that I was going to like the hero.  I have read all of Emilia’s stories that have been published in ebook form in the UK and I do like her easy flowing writing style with great storylines and interesting characters and , of course, the HEAs.

Book 3 – The Grizzly’s Vendetta

This is the perfect ‘ending’ for this wonderful series and is even better than the first two that I loved.  Whilst I read this one at a time and it was perfectly fine for me to do so, it was so much better reading one straight after the other as I really felt almost a part of the community that I had come to know so well.

This series is Emilia Hartley at her best and I strongly encourage you to try7 this series if you haven’t read any shifter/paranormal stories like this before as I am confident that these could get you addicted to them like so many of us.

Definitely recommended
