Title: Justin
Series: Fairplay Shifters #1
Author: Serena Meadows
Published: October 8, 2018
My Rating: 4.5 stars
“Justin” begins the intriguing series, Fairplay Shifters, which blends shifters, witches, magic and more into a world that is rich with possibilities. I was easily caught up in this world that offers small town living, a bit of magic, shifters defending their territory and two people who find each other at just the right moment in their lives. Eash has a different type of pain from their pasts, yet each is also ready to move forward to a future together… eventually. First, there are secrets each is keeping, worries that may or may not matter in the long run for it seems that fate and the threat of a violent battle for this peaceful valley are about to erupt.
There are threads woven throughout this story that reveal, little by little, what this couple and their families are facing in the coming fight. Until they trust each other with all of their truths they are certain to fail. It makes for an interesting story now, and an intriguing background for the rest of the series to unfold around. I enjoyed “Justin” very much. And I’m fortunate in that there are several stories available in this series out now so I can do a bit of binge reading to get caught up. I don’t want to give much away, I feel that the cover description tells you what you need to know to grab your attention to pick up this story. I would recommend it for any Paranormal Romance or Shifter Romance reader who enjoys the blending of shifters and witches, unique family dynamics and a few puzzles to sort out.
