Dark Khimairan #2
Unraveled: Capricorn
Khimairans were granted humanity by the gods…with a catch. In order to keep the gift a Khimairan shifter must find their mate or forever lose their humanity, trapped as a beast for all time.
Sadie Giles has a secret.
Born with a genetic disorder, making her goat horns a permanent fixture, Sadie never leaves the enclave. Until she’s sent to help the Wyoming area after battle. Though on the bright side, Wyoming has a resident potions expert, Levi, who might be able to help with her horn problem. Only there is one major problem.
He lives in the human area.
An empty disturbance has disrupted Levi’s land in Wyoming, and dead animals are a recurring event. Tied to his land as he lends his grazing areas to farmers in the warm months and hunters during hunting season, Levi can’t ignore ten killings in a single week or he’d lose his business. When Levi heads into the Khimairan enclave to get help from his clan leader, he never expected his zodiac sign to be invoked by a female with ever-lasting goat horns and a desperate need for his help.
When the killer leaves a cold heart on Levi’s door step everything he’s worked for, including his mate could, be lost with a flick of a knife.

Sadie prefers to avoid humans having struggled with her bodies ability to shift because unlike others she never looks wholly human . Why not ? Well unfortunately her goats horns are permanently on show. As if that wasn’t enough to deal with recently Sadie has found herself shifting into a weird half goat half fish hybrid! She really needs help so perhaps a magical potion would do the trick?
Levi prefers a quiet life on his ranch making his healing elixirs but lately someone is killing his livestock and removing their hearts . Yes that’s gross but is it a human targeting him or something more sinister like the Bellers ? He needs help so goes to the Enclave where his fellow Khimarians live but hadn’t expected his zodiac sign to come forth for a woman with horns !
I liked the mystery and suspense of this story but it’s very short so obviously it’s hard to really connect with not just the characters but also their antecedents. That having been said I really enjoyed the possibilities of where this unusual series could go. It was an easy read with engaging characters and once the drama was left behind a happy ending.

I love Decadent Kane’s books I have quite a few of them but this is the 1st one that I’ve reviewed and I’m so glad I did. Sadie is born with a genetic disorder, she has horns on her head so she goes to Wyoming to see Levi to get him to help her get rid of them but Levi has more problems, his animals are being killed and he needs to find out who is doing it. That’s all of the spoilers that I’m giving out, but what I will say is if you want to know more then u need to get the book.i loved this book the characters and the storyline were great and I definitely recommend this book.

Awesome read. Different than what I usually read. Would love to review first one too. Her goat horns won't go in when she is not shifted and the one who can help is in the human area until he comes to his clan for help. It is exciting, suspenseful, emotional, mysterious and so much more. I highly recommend it. I was given a review copy by booksprout and voluntarily review it.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. Strong characters and a great story line. I so couldn't put it down once I started reading it. I can't wait to read more of Zodiac series work either.

Sadie has been sent to help fellow Khimairans heal after being attacked. Along the way she planned to meet a potion specialist to help with her shifting issues. Never did she think her zodiac sign would activate. Levi has dead animals showing up everywhere and can’t figure out who is behind this. When he goes to ask his fellow Khimairans he doesn’t expect his zodiac sign to activate. Can Levi and Sadie help each other before the killer gets to them first?

Sadie and Levi
Sadie is a Khimairan healer. She has two problems, she has permanent goat horns and she can't control her shifting. The goat horns have been with her continuously since her first shift, no matter her form. The fact that she shift without trying into a fish tail on her bottom half and a goat on the top half just started recently. While she is in Wyoming helping that enclave with healing, she is going to ask a guy who is good with options for help.
Levi is Khimairan also. He lives in the human world on a family about twenty minutes from the Wyoming portal. He has an issue because someone or something has killed ten of his herd but only took the heart. There is an absence of scents around the carcass. So he must go into the enclave to ask for help.
When Levi first arrives he notices a bunch of hurt shifters. He finds out that the Bellers kidnapped the portal guardian, killed one Khimairan and injured a bunch of others. But then he notices Sadie and his Zodiac mate mark starts burning into his skin. Her mate mark appears also. His is taurus and hers is capricorn.
Together they must solve these problems while getting to no each other. Neither is sure they want a mate because they each like solitude.
I have read both of the books in this series and see possibility for many more. If you love shape shifter books that are good versus evil, then definitely read these books.

Sadie Giles just wants to live a quiet life away from humans and help her people, the Khirmairans, with her healing powers. She's been having trouble with random shifting, and she needs a potion expert to help her. Levi is that expert, and when they first meet, their zodiac marks flare. Yet Sadie doesn't believe anyone would want her and her goat horns. Levi has trouble of his own with someone killing animals on his land. Someone who might be out to kill him and anyone else with him.
This is the first book I read in this series, and I love the rich mythology about the Khirmairans. They're not just shifters, their origins go back to the gods. The world building is phenomenal. There is a war going on which is causing chaos. I dug into the intrigue and the suspense. The tension between Sadie and Levi is sizzling. And I, personally, think the idea of her goat horns is cute no matter Sadie's negative opinion of them! But I do understand why she feels that way and sympathize. I'm curious about the other characters that were introduced, and while we didn't learn much about them with this shorter book, I will definitely pick up the other books in the series.

Extremely entertaining, captivating, and very interesting sexy read. I could not put it down. Wonderfully written with strong characters.
Decadent Kane possesses this uncanny talent in writing her shifters in such a way that one never stops to question the transition. It's never a case of "I'm reading a book written about shifters" but rather, "I'm in this fantastical, sensual, world OF shifters".
I found the plot engaging, quippy, fast paced and full of excitement. Each page brought around a gem of sorts and I had to force myself to slow down so I could make it last longer! *laughs*

The zodiac series is great. Each book is so different from the last. A shifter (or khimairan) who feels cursed because she can’t get her horns to go away. A healer that helps those like her but is afraid of humans. She now is having problems with half shifting. Half goat and half fish. There may be one shifter that creates magical potions that can help her. Neither expected what meeting would do to them. A romantic story that is almost like love at first sight.
I voluntarily read and reviewed a copy of the book.

A new group of shifters.
Zodiac Shifters introduces us to Khimairans. They live in enclaves separated from the human world by magic. Each of them has their own form of magic; healing, tracking, hunting, potion making etc. When they meet their mate their bodies immediately react and their Zodiac sign becomes engraved on their chests.
This was a pleasant book but not earth shattering.

Enter a world of zodiac shifters, where the lines of humans and beasts are blended. Sadie can't figure out why she is starting to shift. Levi is fa potion maker, but he's finding dead bodies everywhere on his land and can't afford to find anymore. Their paths cross when Sadie needs a healing potion. This was a fast and sensual read.

Overall rating: 4.2
A great addition to the zodiac series, this book covered the sign Capricorn with a Taurean mate. The storyline grabs your attention easily and move along at an easy pace. This author makes sure her points are made. The characters are formed enough to carry the storyline. I consider this book a good easy read to pass a peaceful afternoon with.

Quite a good read
Well, characters are fast, fun, and the plot is too. This was a quick read with introduction, tension, problems, and then fixes. The HEA is quick and to point. This series seems to be one that draws you in to the character and their world, while not being drawn out and in depth. Would love to read more!

Double Trouble
This is a read with violence and angst. She is having a hard time lately. Her shifter body is doing its own thing. Something or someone is killing animals and leaving them which is messing with his business. They will need to figure out what is going on in both of their lives. Enjoy I did.

He’s got a problem with dead animals on his property. She can’t get her shifting or healing under control. Risking the bond may be worth it if it solves their problems. This is an enticing story. Part is a warriors but enjoyable on its own.
