Star Shift

The Charming Shifter Mysteries #5

by Calinda B.

The Unseelie have found a secret portal into Charming, Alaska. Only Chia can save her beloved town—if she can claim her powers as the Red Cailleach.
From the author of the #1 Wished for Horror Anthology, The Charming Shifter Mysteries Books 1 - 3, New York Times Bestselling author Calinda B takes you on an epic journey into one woman's struggle to claim what's rightfully hers and save her town from doom.

Chia’s life is a mess of unresolved tension with her ex and exploring a new life with her chosen mate—all while keeping their relationship a secret. She endures continued trouble with the townsfolk who don’t trust her and suffers complete insecurity about her future as the supposed Red Cailleach. Somehow, she’s got to find a way to train with her grandmother and grandfather, who live somewhere in the stars, and own her superpowers.

When shifters are found slaughtered, and the townsfolk blame her for her inability to keep Charming safe, she falls into a dark pit of despair. Somehow, she’s got to convince everyone to help save the town. That’s a tall order for an untrained superhero… especially when time is running out.

We have a little bit of mystery, suspense, some twist and turns and finding ones self. We have Chia who is trying to find her true self. We have D'Raynged who is trying to accept his true love. We have Cecil who will always be Chia's best friend. Then there is Hung who Chia hurt when she broke up with him, but still loves him. What is happening in Charming? Can Chia stop it? Can Chia except who she is? Can she overcome her fear? I received a free copy for my honest review.

This is book 5 in Calinda B's series The Charming Shifter Mysteries and I love the twists and turns these characters have taken not just in this read but in the series as well. I love the character development and growth, especially in Chia and Hung and the acceptance that their destiny and the prophesy is not always interpreted the way we may think. I loved the narration except for D'Ranged's character - the narrations for him just for some reason didn't sit right and I was rather bummed because I love his character so much! Overall this is a fun and exciting paranormal mystery with romance and steamy character chemistry. I loved the characters and the storyline so much. I can't wait to see what Calinda B has for us readers and listeners next...

This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

There’s action, intrigue, betrayal, and an overall sense of embracing one’s destiny. This story has a very Matrix-like feel to it. There were plot-points that made me feel especially close to Revolutions. It was a bit of a heart-wrenching conclusion to the series, but I loved nearly every minute of it. The only real complaint I have is the whole ‘going at it like randy bunny rabbits’ Chia and D'Raynged get up to for the whole book. It quickly became more than a bit much for me. I could have done with a few less bedroom antics out of our leading couple and maybe had some scenes with what they were learning in order to defeat the all-encompassing evil instead.
I received a complimentary copy of this book as part of a box set.

Wow! An epic finale to this awesome series!

We left Chia after the destruction of Red Mountainbear, her home and her relationship with Hung.
Having discovered her true souls mate in D’Raynged, she is left trying to figure out her place in the world with her new title of Red Cailleach when even more trouble comes to the town of Charming in the most horrific of ways. Can she finally put an end to the chaos raining on her town before everything and everyone she loves is destroyed?

This was an explosive epic ending to this great series and it was a surprising, heartwarming, sexy and action-packed read!

Star Shift is the fifth and final book in the Charming Shifter Mysteries series. Blissful in her newfound love with D'Raynged, Chia is coming into her own as the Red Cailleach, trying to harness her powers with the help of her grandparents. Together they must fight the evil Unseelie in their bid to take over Charming and the world. Action, suspense, steamy love scenes, and a few plot twists all come together in this epic finale.

Chia is with her mate and learning just what that means in terms of her new life. They have quite a battle against them to save their community.

I really enjoyed watching their journey. They have fought so hard to be together. There are quite some surprises in store for them along the way.

I am voluntarily reviewing a copy I received.

This well-written conclusion to the Charming Shifter Series is what you would expect for this wonderfully entertaining Collection of PNR stories. There is a struggle to claim a rightful heritage, loss, powers and more fighting for Charming, its inhabitants and our heroines' mate , family and team. I loved it. I voluntarily read an ARC and this is my honest review.

This book is entertaining, action packed and thoroughly enjoyable. The chemistry between the characters is wonderful. I can't wait for more from this author. I received this book as a FREE ARC copy to read and I voluntarily leave this review.

[Myrna Richmond · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really loved this series I enjoyed every part of it I thought it was wonderful. The characters were so amusing and very memorable. This last part was much more serious and had a lot of sadness mixed in. However all's well that ends well and I guess it did end as it should in the authors mind.

[Charity Chimni · Rating 5 out of 5]

A great finale for the series. Love the characters and how every thing came together. I will miss D, Chia, Hung, and Dawgman. The epilogue was super sweet.

[Jackie · Rating 5 out of 5]

What a story. Chia can save her town if she can get her special powers back. Will that happen? Once you start, there’s no stopping. Definitely ready for more by this talented writer.

[Angie ~aka Reading Machine~ · Rating 4 out of 5]

Star Shift

Interesting characters and an enjoyable final book in this series

[Shelly Celli · Rating 5 out of 5]

This has quickly become a favorite series. The way Chia, Hung, Cecil, and D’Raynged have dealt with all that’s been thrown at them has been amazing, intense, and sexy as hell. These characters are all destined to be entwined in one way or another and the truth of it all finally comes out in this grand finale. And Grand it is. Grandma and Grandpa have shown them the way and created a being more powerful than anyone has ever seen. And with that power, it’s all about saving Charming Alaska. I cannot wait for more of Calinda’s work. I’m voluntarily reviewing an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.
