Nocturnal Book Reviews

I just thought that if you mix Nora Roberts with Patricia Briggs you might get this particular book.

Elizabeth has a talent to take a simple contemporary plot, add a pinch of paranormal and still make us feel like the characters are a bunch of normal people we all can relate to.

I found this book adorable and refreshing.

Jena, a mother with two young kids comes back into her tiny town after her husband dies from a brain tumour. Not only she desperately needs her family's love and support, she is coming back so her own kids can shift freely for the first time, because Cambio Springs is a town of shifters, and they are keeping it a secret.

But in the current economy the town is struggling too much, and a local young entrepreneur comes up with a plan that involves hiring an outsider sheriff and allowing strangers into town.

When Caleb Gilbert comes to Cambio Springs he is really tired from detective work in the big city, he likes the idea of piece and quiet, and he likes a local diner's owner, sharp and flirty Jena, even more...

However before their relationship has a chance to develop into something more serious, there is a murder in town which hasn't seen the likes of it before, ad Jena and the rest of the town people will have to start trusting Caleb with their secrets, if they want to solve it.

Caleb and Jena had amazing dynamics. There was no instalove, you can be sure that Elizabeth Hunter does not do instalove, but there was slow wooing with plenty of humour and shy awkwardness, and I found it incredibly sweet.

Jena's friends and relatives also had character and were full of life, and I admit that I'd love to read more about them as the series slowly progresses. Overall, hugely recommended!
