Shadow Tales
A collection of tales that go bump in the night... Adventures of a Yeti Hunter-Joel is hunting for yetis when a snowstorm separates him from his team. He stumbles across a cabin occupied by Tommy, a wildlife photographer. But inclement weather and an attractive rescuer aren't the only surprises in the woods... Cat Scratch Fever-All bear shifter Travis wants is to get laid, to ease the hunger and ache that always comes with the Harvest moon. But his night takes an unexpected turn when a sorely-missed figure from his past appears in the last place Travis expected to see him. I'm a Ferocious Mouse-All Quin wants to do is enjoy a few beers and flirt with the cute server for a couple of hours. His evening plans are quickly ruined, however, by some homophobic lion shifters who don't approve of one of their own being gay. Paw Print on My Skin-Zack is a werewolf and tattoo artist at a tattoo parlour that caters to shapeshifters. He works with lots of interesting people, but no one quite takes his interest like new customer Tobias... Spirit Wolf-When famous mystery writer and panther shifter, Dawson, suffers from writer's block, his agent thinks getting back to nature will help. The moment he enters the cabin in the forest though, Dawson feels watched.

this was an okay-ish little anthology of paranormal mm stories, all of which except the first involved shifters and appeared to take place in the same universe. they were fun little stories, but the plots were usually pretty simple and there were a lot of sex scenes, which i do like but got repetitive after seeing similar erotic scenes in every story. i don't really think i'd recommend it; if you want some paranormal mm there are better things out there to read.

Well it's a sad day but I guess it had to happen eventually, I finally got a book from LT3 that I didn't really like. Don't get me wrong, this isn't necessarily a bad collection but it definitely wasn't for me. There are five stories in this anthology and the entire thing is only 70 pages long so none of them are very detailed. Also the dialogue feels very stiff most of the time and there really wasn't quite enough of a fantasy element to it for me. All the stories feature shifters of some kind but it's never really that relevant to the 'plot' of the story. Although really at least half of the page space is dedicated to explicit sex scenes so I'm not sure how much plot there is to start with. While I'm definitely not against the occasional sex scene in the books I read, there was just way too much for me in this particular anthology. If you're just looking for a very quick and 'steamy' read then this collection of M/M stories will probably be perfect for you but I would have rather the stories been a bit more developed and for there to be a little bit less sex overall.

Paranormal m/m romance anthology. Five stories, heavy on the romance and low on the paranormal. I was a little bit disappointed by that because I really wanted to relish in the shifter, yeti and werewolf aspect of the stories but ultimately the characters' being paranormal creatures was not essential to the plot except in the final story, "Spirit Wolf", which as a result was my favorite. I was also a little put off by the amount of sex. There's a sex scene in each of the five stories, which takes up a bit more space than I would like. I'm a person who generally skims through sex scenes to get to plot so five in such a short work was a bit much for me. But quite possibly not for you if you enjoy reading m/m erotica, so if that's the case I guess you can consider that last qualm a recommendation.
The stories were fairly well built: the characters were relatable, and I did like the bonus of the paranormal aspect. Although there were instances of homophobia described in the stories, in general they were light hearted and they all had happy endings. Fairly sweet stories with a side of shape shifting and smut. :)
Unfortunately, this anthology was not really my thing. Again, I would recommend it if you like mostly fluffy m/m romance with a touch of erotica. For the paranormal/fantasy elements, not so much. I would still give the author another try though, as this was clearly just a case of a bad fit. I received an ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
