OMG I fell in love with this musical coyote, he is magical! Can you imagine a man that talks to you and enthralls you like he was singing?
Silver is a coyote sifter trying to leave his thieving and conning past behind by pouring his soul into music with his band. When he is told by his trickster god to steal for him one last time, he never expected to be tossed into the arms of the foxiest creature he has ever seen. Silver doesn't want a life mate, he is more than happy to slate himself in the arms of any groupie as always, but he finds himself mesmerized by her emerald gaze. Now if he could only convince his vixen that she can trust him and that her song will forever be ingrained on his heart, he will be a very happy man. Problem is she keeps trying to run from him and he is more than happy to chase.
Hannah is very distrustful fox shifter, she was tricked years ago by a sly coyote and life mated against her will. Now all she wants is to save her grandmother from the clutches of an evil wolf shifter and her twin from the son of the Russian gangster she stole from to accomplish this. She hadn't anticipated being robbed of the artifact by a very sly and sexy coyote. Then when she tracks him down his song entrances her. Will one night with the sexy man be enough for a fox in heat, or will she keep running from him and herself.
I loved this story, Ms. Snark writes with so much depth, I could feel the pain, the longing and the love, I was transported. I would love to read more about this ragtag bunch.
A delightful tale of intrigue; containing many levels!!
Fox-shifter and security expert Hannah must steal a priceless Norse artifact from a Russian oligarch in order to save her grandmother. Coyote-shifter Silver owes Coyote a favor and must steal the box to settle his debts. As Hannah gains possession of the box, Silver bests her and leaves her in a perilous situation.
Our clever protagonist does not disappoint and a short time later is holding Silver at gunpoint: “Back to your hotel room. You stole something else from me, too, Mr. Kissing Bandit. I intend to have my revenge… in spades.” He gulped, throat working….”You don’t need a gun for that.” “I know.” She dropped the muzzle so it wasn’t aimed at him, but the implicit threat remained. “But this is way more fun.” Stunned, Silver blinked. Never mind his fleeting concern that he’d fallen straight past lust and into a fatal attraction. All bets were off. He’d just found the perfect woman.
Attraction flares, and Hannah unintentionally gives permission to court by her actions…. And Silver is more than happy to accommodate her.
Thrilling danger and scintillating courtship will have you on the edge of your seat!!
*** I am voluntarily leaving my honest review of this book ***
This paranormal romance will leave the reader drooling for more and marveling at the author’s ability to portray compatible relationships, even with the heavy soulmate trope present in the novel.
And I'm going to have you. You can't have me. Run, little fox. I'll be right on your tail. Don't chase me, Silver. It's too dangerous. OH COYOTE! You're playing my song! This is anything BUT a one-hit wonder! This is a melodious story I felt down deep in my bones and just like a favourite song, I can't get it out of my mind! (not that I want to!) It's tattooed itself on my heart! Oh for Fox's sake! I’ll stop dodging around it – This is one helluva SHIFTACULAR story! I'll sing its praises as best as I can!! Right from the start I was captivated, caught in the story trap, LOVING it from beginning to end! It's an amazing, funny, musical, suspenseful, romantic, scary, hot, Hot, Hot PURRFECT tail that is deeply enriched & enhanced by Melissa’s beautifully detailed, lush descriptions and storytelling!! The mythology aspect the Melissa incorporated into it fit the story like a glove! Having the story blossom to life all around me and continuing to do so throughout the entire story was a rare & true treat! I was transported into Silver & Hannah’s World right away, intrigued by them, wanting to know more, loving the chance to meet Coyote, and while I wasn’t surprised to connect with and become Silver right away, I didn’t expect to BECOME Hannah before I even knew her name! I honestly don't think that I have EVER read a book where the author has put so much love, care, development and details into EVERY SINGLE ASPECT of the story!! The intersecting storylines, seemingly innocent or minor bits from the beginning that come back into play later on, the multifaceted characters that come complete with history, personality, secrets, and so much more and the way that almost ALL of the characters are also given that same development – to a lesser degree, of course – blew me away! It all flows impeccably & seamlessly within the story, combining beautifully together to enhance, enrich & add even more depth to Silver & Hannah's own Furry Tail! I kept waiting for Silver to say “CURSES! OUTFOXED AGAIN!” snicker Melissa swept me into her story so thoroughly & completely it felt like I was living MY story, that Silver and Hannah were parts of me that I hadn't yet discovered, that I could shift into a Fox, into a Coyote, that I was capable of magic, could hear the melody playing in my mind, that I could create that melody! YES!! I love, Love, LOVED this story from beginning to end and every place in between! Melissa truly is one phenomenally talented and exceptionally gifted author!! I hope that she has plans to turn this into a series because I could - would LOVE - to stay, play, love & mate in this FURLICIOUS World for a very long time! So... How did one go about catching a fox that happened to be stalking a coyote? Think like a fox...
Silver, a coyote shifter is trying to go straight and leave his criminal past behind. Kind of hard to do when your god, Coyote himself, calls upon you "one last time" to do him a solid and steal a box covered in runes. Hannah Kelly is a fox shifter, that finds herself between a rock and hard place; her grandmother has been kidnapped by a ruthless gangster, and the only way Hannah can free her grandmother, is to steal a box covered in runes... When Silver and Hannah meet, sparks start to fly; it's a tossup as to who will win in this fast paced game of catch me if you can. Both need the box, but only one can posses it. Can Hannah withstand the siren call of Silver? Will Silver be able to walk away from Hannah once Hannah's grandmother is safe? How will Silver fulfill his promise to Coyote if Hannah has the box? Will the steaming, sexual desire that ignites between them each time they touch consume them, or will they outlast the conflagration?
WOWZA!!!! Loved this book! Fast paced, well written, well developed characters and plotline, and a hot, hot HOT romance flaming brighter and brighter. Can't WAIT for the next book!
Damn, does this author know how to write a compelling relationship? I couldn't get enough of Silver and Hannah. They stood out as a couple but as individuals, as well. More importantly, they were compatible. The author wasn't lazy in their development. She didn't rely on the "they're soulmates" theme to push the characters together. Instead, she proved to the reader that they were destined to be together. Basically, it was magnificent!
However, there was one thing that really bothered me. At time, I felt like the author relied on "big" words to describe a feeling or scene instead of actually describing it. Like, instead of going into the details, she would try to sum a feeling or scene up with one word. This irritated me throughout the whole novel. She was also redundant a few times and would use the same word twice in a sentence. Maybe one more round of editing would have helped.
Still, I'd pick up another one of her works. Planning to actually.
***THIS BOOK WAS PROVIDED TO NERD GIRL IN EXCHANGE FOR AN HONEST REVIEW***
Outfoxed: Gemini (Zodiac Shifters #11) by Melissa Snark is a story in the Zodiac Shifters World, as well as a nod to Ms. Snark's Loki's Wolves Series.
Hanna, aka Vixen (a wonderful play on the name for a female fox) is a fox shifter, forced to commit theft to save her grandmother. A run-in with Silver, a coyote shifter, causes her sister to fall into dangerous hands as well.
Silver is sent by Coyote, (aka The Trickster, aka Loki) to steal a Rune box from a Russian mob-boss, but runs into Vixen.
The following adventure is fast-paced, the action is steamy, and the story wonderfully told.
Absolute 5-star read!

Silver is kind of shady and has done some questionable stuff. He is trying to do better but he owes a favor. It gets him into a complicated mess but also introduces him to Hannah.
It is a lot of fun when this coyote shifter and fox shifter have to work together to keep everyone safe from harm. There is a big secret you don't expect that really changes things for them too.
I thought that Silver and Hannah made a great couple and they do have wonderful chemistry. It is a complicated relationship that gets even more messy as they get to know more about each other.
I really liked his band mates too. They have made themselves a family and each is very different from one another but there is a real bond between them all. They will do anything to protect one another. I look forward to reading more about them.
Well done, unique and entertaining! Silver is a coyote shifter with a band called Coyote Hustle. On a job to repay an old debt, he runs into a foxy shifter, Hannah, who's going after the same target he is. Then things just get wild! This is a splendid tale of true love found and the rough road traveled to keep it. Hmmm, it seems the Trickster is full of surprises! I love the way this is written! The characters' moods and thoughts are echoed in their body language. The prose is lyrical and brings the characters to life in a unique way. The whole thing just tickled my fancy! Here's a description of Las Vegas: "After dark, Las Vegas threw on a sparkly dress and cheap cologne for a night on the town." This is such a good book; I highly recommend it!
This was fun! I loved the whole thief against thief angle; it made for an interesting story! The romance is sweet and spicy, and I loved the enemy to lovers storyline; the banter back and forth between Hannah and Silver was entertaining. Silver is a coyote shifter, and Hannah is a fox shifter, both of them have been tasked with stealing a certain item, but they both have different reasons for needing the item, and Silver and Hannah don't necessarily get off on the right foot when they butt heads trying to acquire the item, but they have a chemistry that is difficult for them to deny. Silver is also a musician, which was cool, and I liked his other bandmates. Lots of fun action too! I'm interested in reading more, and I'm curious about Hannah's sister!
A foxy fox shifter and a wily coyote. Love and danger on the way to becoming mates. I have been buying all of the books in this series, and I just recently starting reading them in order. After reading Out Foxed I just had to write a review. This book was wonderful. Fun, funny, full of passion, and many twists and turns. From the first moment that Silver and Hannah meet while both trying to steal the same object, to the very end, the story keeps you in suspense as to what will happen next. The secondary characters (Silver's band members) really add to the story. I hope the author has future books planned for them and for Hannah's sister. This is one of those books you won't want to put down until you get to the end.

Lovin this spinoff from Loki's Wolves! A coyote and a fox after the same prize but for different reasons. (You just know that darn Trickster is involved!) In the beginning the reader may not be too fond of Silver after he leaves Hannah in a difficult position (right after kissing her) but he redeems himself in the end (love how they meet!). Poor Hannah everyone she loves is getting kidnapped, all over this dang box! (And why does her twin not sound toooo upset about who napped her? Hmmm?) Has lots of action, suspense and (woohoo) sexy parts in it. If your a fan of Ms. Snarks you won't be disappointed, highly recommend to all shifter/action lovers!
Holy hotness! "Outfoxed" is another fantastic book in the awesome Zodiac Shifters world :D The author had my attention from the start & kept me turning pages thru the whole book. An entertaining PNR shifter must read full of action & smoking hot romance with a unique storyline! I loved the well defined characters and the relationship building between the H/h :) Who'd have guessed this pair? A 'Silver' tongued coyote trying to catch a 'foxy fox' by the tail ;) lol ... Make sure you have plenty of time set aside, coz once you start reading, you won't want to put it down! ... I highly recommend this to all fans of fiction :)

What more could you ask for in a fast paced novel? Surprises abounded throughout. The main characters were locked within a constant conflict which beautifully resolved itself. Shifters never seemed so human before! I'm dying to read more about Silver and Hannah's family. There are too many stories begging to be told!!! What a spin and gorgeous dynamic from Ms. Snark! Wonderfully plotted and extremely well penned. This is one wild and emotional ride! So buckle in and enjoy ♡♡♡♡
Hannah is desperate to save her grandmother. Silver is looking to do one more job. Both need the same object. Will Hannah and Silver work together? Will they let their love bloom?
Good read! Loved, loved, loved Silver. For Coyotes seeming to have a bad rep in this story, he was so sweet and willing to help Hannah that I fell in love with him. I didn't blame Hannah for pannicking with her past experiences, but was proud of her for making the choice to return instead of allowing anymore suffering.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
Coyotes, foxes, manipulation, kidnapping, what more could a reader want? Totally loved Silver and his unique abilities! This addition to the Zodiac shifter series brought its own unique flavor ! I was engrossed so quickly into Hannah's dilemma and truly could not put this down! Love the perfect flow of this story with just the right amount of mystery and intrigue to keep mr glued until time escaped me. I am not surprised one bit that this writer pulled off this amazing creation!
What do you get when you mix a male coyote shifter with a female fox shifter? In this case, you get a story full of mayhem, romance, suspense, and plenty of passion! Melissa Snark did an excellent job of drawing me in and keeping me there from the first word to the last. I found myself cheering for Hannah and Silver, and hoping they could find their happily ever after. I highly recommend reading this book.
Another great Zodiac Shifter story. This one features a fax and a coyote. Stealing a little box will bring them together, but can they make something more of it. Action and a few hot scenes. There is one death but the scene is kept pretty mild. Loved how the god Coyote seems to always be part of causing trouble. Wish we got to hear more about the music tattoos. And I hope we get to read about Fiona in a future story.
I voluntarily read and reviewed a copy of the book.
Great add to the Zodiac Shifter Series. Silver is a coyote shifter who travels with a band of misfit Rock musicians. Hannah is a fox shifter whose Grandmother is kidnapped by a vengeful ex.. Silver owes a debt to the God Loki..To get out of debt he must steal an artifact from a Russian mobster..Hannah must steal the same artifact to get her Grandmother back.. And when they both show up to steal it at the same time..Sparks fly and their lives will never be the same..
Outfoxed by Melissa Snark is part of the wonderful Zodiac Shifters series. It tells the story of Hannah and her quest to free her kidnapped grandmother and twin sister from the hands of two different mob bosses. In her desperation, she meets Silver, an enigmatic coyote Shifter with a gift for musical enchantment who is on his own path to square a debt to his god, Coyote. What ensues is an exciting adventure of love, passion and forgiveness, a journey that leads them to an ending that is both satisfying and fitting. After all, all paranormal romance should resolve in its own HEA. I received this ARC from the author with no obligation to review.
When Silver is approached by his Coyote deity for one final favor, he has no clue what is in store for his heart. I just loved Silver and Hannah's story. If you like shifters, this foxy fox and sly coyote will ensnare your heart.
I received a free book and voluntarily chose to review it. The adventure started on the first page and didn’t let up until the last page. Loved every page. Nothing like two thieves wanting the same object. My strong woman shows her ability to get what she wants.
CAUTION: STEAMY!!! But also well-written/plotted/characterized. This is a delightful melange of various shifters ranging from birds to bears to dragons with a good smattering of canines (wolves, foxes, coyotes) interspersed. Magic and music also play parts. Have fun!
Throughly enjoyed this book. A wonderfully storyline full of surprises and twists and turns. Wonderful band of characters that all seem to compliment each other..
The insecurities of the Fox were realistic. Totally understandable from where she was coming from. The Coyote is someone I'd call a friend. Loved the music theme.
One sly fox who is out to save her Grandmother gets caught by one sly coyote. This was one fun read with danger,humor, plot twists and lots of hot shifter love!
