 BLURB: Werebear shifter Annette Garsea is a caseworker for the Interspecies Placement Agency. When a selectively mute and freakishly strong teen werewolf is put in her custody, Annette has to uncover the young girl's secrets if she's to have any hopes of helping her. And not even the growling of a scruffy private investigator can distract her from her mission... Bear shifter David Auberon appreciates Annette's work with at-risk teen shifters, but he's not sure if her latest charge is so much a vulnerable teen as a predator who should be locked up. All that changes when he, Annette, and her motley band of juveniles find themselves dodging multiple murder attempts and uncovering a trafficking cartel that doesn't just threaten the kids, but risks discovery of the shifters by the wider world of homo sapiens.

My rating: 3.7 don't-mess-with-my-cubs stars

Han pasado años desde que leí algo de MJ Davidson, y este libro me sorprendió en el buen sentido.

El escenario es un mundo donde los cambiaformas coexisten con los humanos, pero es un mundo secreto y subterráneo. Y viven con miedo de que pronto esto deje de ser secreto.




Annette Garsea es una empleada de IPA (Interspecies Placement Agency), que trabaja con niños y adolescentes en riesgo y cuyo caso recurrente es un werefox que es un adorable sinvergüenza. Y David Auberon es un investigador que está enamorado de Anette pero que nunca ha dicho más de 5 palabras fuera del trabajo a pesar de que sus colegas insisten en difundir rumores sobre ellos solo porque ambos eran osos. Todo el largo de la novela es un caso de "¡Por favor, hablen claramente el uno al otro!" De todos modos, el caso ahora involucra a un adolescente, Caro, quien atacó salvajemente a otro hombre lobo. A partir de ahí se convierte en una especie de película de acción, ataques, malosos sospechosos y cosas ocultas que el lector probablemente descubre en el tercer párrafo, pero bueno ... vale la pena descubrir el pasado de Anette, David y Pat, Olaf. y ... bueno, nadie sabe nada sobre Nadia, sin embargo, aparte de su ser sarcástico.


¡Es una historia llena de frases de ingenio y tropos, y orgullosa de ello! Se burló todo el tiempo sobre el tema.


"Y detente con el tropo del compañero de habitación".
"¡Soy el original, maldita sea! Los tropos vienen de mí, no al revés."

Claro, Pat, todos los tropos de compañeros de cuarto de género fluido provienen de ti. ..

Aún así, Dev Devoss es un favorito.

Voy a leer el próximo libro.

It's been years since I read anything about MJ Davidson, and this book surprised me in a good way.

The setting is a world where shapeshifters coexist with humans, but it is a secret and underground world. And they live in fear that soon that would stop being secret.

...the skyway was for the naturae fixed, the Stables, those poor souls who were stuck in the same shape from birth to death: Homo sapiens in all their stable, savage glory.
Shifters, the naturae flex, had to keep to the Beneath—figuratively if not literally, the ground and what was below it. If it was raining they got wet, and if it was snowing, they got snowed on, and if it was fogging, they got fogged.

Annette Garsea is an IPA (Interspecies Placement Agency) employee, working with children and adolescents at risk and whose recurring case is a werefox who is an adorable rascal. And David Auberonis a researcher who has a crush on Anette but have never spoken more than 5 words outside of work even though his colleagues insist on spreading rumors about them just because they are both werebears. The entire length of the novel is a case of "Please speak clearly to each other!" Anyway, the case now involves a teenager, Caro; she savagely attacked another werewolf. From there it becomes a kind of movie of action, attacks , suspicious baddies, and hidden things that the reader probably discovers at the third paragraph, but well ... the excuse is worth discovering the past of Anette, David, and Pat, Olaf and ... well, no one knows anything about Nadia, yet, other than their snark-self.

It's a story full of witticism and tropes, and proud about it! Made fun all the time about the issue.

“And stop with the matchmaking-roommate trope.”
“I’m the original, dammit! Tropes come from me, not the other way around. Take. That. Back.”

Sure, Pat, all the gender-fluid roomate tropes come from you. ..

Still, Dev Devoss is a favorite.

“Were you yelling at them to play dead?”
“Isn’t that what you’re supposed to do with werebears?”
“No. Pure propaganda. It just makes us hungry.” And she laughed

I will read the next book.
