Another one of those books with a missing middle section in which an actual relationship would develop. This Novella started out promising with interesting world building, well-thought out action sequences and intriguing characters. But then the characters went straight from attraction to "I love...
'Savage Awakenings' is the third book in Stephani Hecht's 'Lost Shifters' series and, frankly, I couldn't wait to get to this one. Rat had intrigued me from the moment I saw him and it kind of caused a little twinge inside me that he's a shifter who can't hold his shift. Thus, it stood to reason ...
Summary for series review;Brent, 2nd in command of the jaguar shifters, searches out the head of the Hawks, Daniel. As he is hoped to have information leading them to find the lost jaguars.

Summary for series review;Dean, a wolf shifter, comes to the Jaguar shifters compound with his alpha and brother Chris with a proposition to get one of the lost brothers out of captivity. Along with one of their wolves. Turns out Dean & Mitchell have been having a secret affair, but Dean chose to...
All in all it was really short.I’m not a fan of this turn towards abused waifs that the series is taking.Also not happy with that threesome (with other people) in the middle of the story.Sadly, I seem to recall that from now on the majority of the books will follow the sexually indiscriminate att...
This started as a very interesting story about Shane, an assassin as well as a dangerous leopard shifter. Always described as cold and heartless with an inability to feel emotions, especially love, Shane finds that he can't stop thinking of Trevor, a panther shifter who he wants in more in than...
Book 6 of the lost shifter series - Andy is the last of Mitchell's missing brothers, but he doesn't want to be found. He kidnapped one of the trackers sent to find him and crashed the coalition's computer system - so now Vapor, a panther shifter, is sent to bring him back - as a felon.Vapor think...
I knew going into this seventh book in the series that I already loved Owen. The glimpses I had of him in the previous book showed a brilliant, but naive, young man who desperately needs to belong and feel loved, no matter what. Owen has such a pure heart and considering the way he grew up and wi...
I put off reading this for a long time because I knew it would be difficult. It is part 2 of the last book, where Trevor, psycho leopard Shane's mate was kidnapped by the cobra bad guy. Shane's going insane trying to find him. This however combines a couple of other stories, or beginnings of such...
'Chance's Vindication' is book thirteen in the 'Lost Shifters' series, and interestingly enough, I am not losing interest in this world. I was particularly excited to read Chance's story because it's the first one that focuses on a Raven shifter within the feline coalition. Regardless that Chance...
I loved what Sephani Hecht has done with the Lost Shifters series. Each couple is my own secret little escape from reality and into a fantastic fantasy world with beautiful boys. A Shifter Christmas was really special because Hecht didn’t introduce a new couple, but rather made it mostly about No...
It was nice to hear some more about the Raven culture from this book, but I was already sure that the shifter Chance would find his mate in the next book. Also the whole book felt kinda rushed and it is weird that the main character's mate is the brother of the guy he had a friends-with-benefits ...
This was the third book in Stephani's St. Micheal's series and definitely my favorite thus far.Matt is a sexy, womanizing medic with a wickedly smart mouth and Lucas is a nurse at St. Micheal's hospital who is very tired of his one night stands and thank you man quickies he's been living on for t...
1.5 rounded up and that's being generous.This was so bad on so many levels I can't even review it: the age difference, Russell's accomplishments at his young age, the almost nonexistent climax and resolution, the lack of chemistry, the tell tell tell, everything except I really like the character...
Seemed way too short but I can live with that since we get more of the story in a later book. But the editing...OMG! At least twice a name was wrong, extra words added(or not taken out I should say), some words in the wrong tense(-es instead of -ed or just plain missing that sort of thing when it...
It seems like it was just yesterday that I stumbled onto the 'Lost Shifters' series by Stephani Hecht. It's even more amazing to me that I'm up to book sixteen and still haven't lost interest or gotten bored. That's pretty remarkable! I enjoy these stories and even though there is some predictabi...
Priority One by Stephani Hecht will thrill the fans who have been flocking to the author’s stand-alone novellas, which feature a shared cast of hot gay men who work as firefighters and paramedics associated with Saint Michael’s Hospital in Flint, Michigan. A writer just can’t beat the dramatic po...
Warning: I adore the Lost Shifter Series, I’m one of those people that have loved the 1st book all the way through the 17th book and keep coming back for more. If you don’t like Hecht’s formula, or are just plain tired of the shifters then this book isn’t for you. I recommend reading a Very Sha...
I am making my way through this shifter series and this is my favourite so far. The series is good if you like a variety of shifters. The stories are simple with plenty of battles between goodies and baddies, supported by witty banter. They are not what i would describe as incredibly gripping but...
Honestly, my feelings on this one is admittedly up and down. Hecht brings in a few more mental disorders that she's not really familiar enough with, or that maybe she decided to throw in as a last-minute detail, since to my memory there had been no hints of Keegan being OCD or prone to anxiety at...
Wow, that was for sure an angsty one!I really felt for Forrest - poor guy had to face alot of bad stuff, glad he's found happyness at the end. And as much as I like the gang from the previous books it was time to move the story to another place, because one more couple - and it'd be 'everyone in ...
Finally! Finally! Finally! A spider shifter! Something out of the norm and unusual. Of course I have friends on social media who will shudder and cringe but I think it's awesome and I was excited to get Baxley's story. 'When Tatum Got Bit by the Spider' is the nineteenth installment in the 'Lost ...
This is the second book in the series. In the first book we saw Devon get his happy ending. This time the focus is on Trey. Trey is one of the Canton brothers. They have experienced a very hard upbringing and family tragedy which has reflected in their fall from grace in the hockey world. Trey's ...
Before reading this book, I think you need to have read the previous series because there was a lot of assumed knowledge that the reader was familiar with certain aspects of the world (by the author) ... because I didn't have this prior knowledge, my enjoyment of the story was diminished. Aside f...
The only major gripe I have with this story is close to the very beginning."Sergei merely blinked a few times as an oh-boy-he-knows-I'm-alive chant danced in his head."A perfectly fine reaction, until just a few paragraphs later you read:"Kip happened to be the straightest guy he knew. So while t...
Number one, the “conflict” here is ridiculous, given what we’ve seen about the training in the previous volumes of the series.Number two, I hate it to the darkest pits of hell when an author turns previous protagonists into cruel jerks for the sake of giving a new protagonist friction. Bad enough...
Another sweet story which was what I was in the mood for. The guy who if not for bad luck would have no luck at all and the confident player cop. I liked how Dakota's partner warmed up to him and watched out for him. My only confusion was Dakota claims to have never been kissed but they said he b...
Cute, but not as fleshed out as I wanted it to beWarning: This review might contain what some people consider SPOILERS. Rating: 7/10PROS: - The connection between the two guys forms quickly and they interact naturally, easy with each other right from the start.- The story has a light, fun setting...
I enjoyed this third episode from the Wayne County Wolves series. Stephani Hecht is very good at writing series of books with characters that draw you in. It becomes a bit like following a soap on TV because you get engrossed in the continuity of the characters, and what happens next, and who end...
I love a story about friendship rekindled and friends turning lovers and a realistic story about recovery. This was all of that. I love that the author didn't shrink from giving Aldrich long lasting effects from his accident. I did enjoy this story, although, as with the first in the series, I th...
I really enjoyed this next story in the Blue Line Hockey Series. The only complaint I have about it is that it was way too short! I loved Zimon in the earlier books and was very excited to see him get his story. I feel that there is so much more we could know about Zimon and his struggles and ...
Hm. To my surprise, the bulk of this story was set ten years previously and described their virginal first time together. Then the briefest present time wrap-up about why Marc left back then and did not try to see Sammy again. Sadly, that part fell short.The teenage story actually felt sweet and ...
This story was hard, but really well written. I really hope Devlin and Christian will stay together. But then they are young and a lot can happen. I hope Taylor will find his strength to face his father and twin brother. I really fell pity for Tommy, how could be so mean and horrible to his own t...
Okay, so reading this series out of order is not recommended. However, I'd also like to point out that after the first 16-20 books I'd pretty much had it with this series because all the books are structured the exact same way. The author might be really good at creating hundreds of distinct pers...
