Description

Sometimes, change bites back.

Nickie Daniels thought her weekend hike would be an escape — fresh air, sunshine, and her best friend by her side. But when a rattlesnake sinks its fangs into her leg, she's thrust into a world she never knew existed.

Saved not by medicine but by transformation, Nickie discovers she's not human at all — she's Kitsune, a descendant of a race of shape-shifters thought to be myth. As she struggles to adjust to a new body, a new identity, and a secret community hidden in plain sight, she realizes her entire life has been a lie.

But the desert isn't the only danger waiting for her. The rules of the Kitsune world are strict, the politics deadly, and someone wants to make sure Nickie never learns the truth about who — or what — she really is.

Her life has changed forever. The question is… can she survive it?

Perfect for fans of Patricia Briggs, Ilona Andrews, and Kelley Armstrong.

    Kitsunes are not wolves they are foxes they have 1-9 tails and live forever their main form isn't a human it's a fox. It seems like a great book it should have stayed with the facts... If you do write more books or a rewrite please look stuff up not just images.

    I really like this book and its concept. The story line was interesting and creative but it was vague in some ways. The finger pad door locks hinted towards this happening in the future but that was all. Also the chatacters seemed to be lacking emotion, especially when speaking. Their dialogues were bland and overly formal with sentences that seemed fake and forced. The story line kept me reading though. This book is definitely worth a try despite its flaws.

  • This is missing some things...

    First of all, this is a fairly good book. However, I feel that emotion in the characters is lacking, and there is no suspense or tension whatsoever. There doesn't seem to be much of a plot, as there is no conflict. The characters should be developed more.

  • Good start!

    The idea of the story is good. The author would benefit greatly from the services of a pro editor and proofreader. The writing lacks soul and too many mundane details are added and often repeated over and over. Taking out the mundane could have cut this by a third. I was shocked that she never described Brandon after his shift! That made no sense to me. And the weirdness of what era this was set in was not explained. Certain things hinted that it was set in the future, but it was just a few meaningless details that didn't seem worth the effort to have this take place in the future. I think the author has good ideas, but needs to hone her writing skills quite a bit. As I was reading this I thought it was a good effort for an 18-20 year old. There's promise there. Good luck!
