The Oblivion #1
Shifted
My life has never been my own.
I lost my mother at birth. Then, I was sent to live with my father’s best friend and his pack when I was only six. My father abandoned me.
I was the lone vampire surrounded by furry protectors. My pack. My heart learned to heal with the help of my mate. I grew, I loved and I started to thrive.
Then.. it all started to change - I changed.
I came to life as a black-as-night panther. Fur, claws, and teeth ready to kill. Now, I have two sides that are fighting for control of one body. Now, people are after me because of my abilities.
We have to make a stand.
Either I fight or we all die.

Talia has lived with Joshua's pack since she was a small child. They were the best of friends and became her protector. As they grew older their feelings matured as well. His father, the alpha, and his mother treated her as their own.
As they grew older they learn the truth of her beginning and why she was left. She's not a human but the daughter of a royal vampire prince. Her mother died at her birth. When the reason her father left comes to light danger follows. And with the danger, they discover some of the secrets about this special female.
Will her special talents be enough to protect her new family? Will Joshua change his feelings for her when he learns the truth?
The first in the serial is a good story, characters you can care about and villains you want to be ended. The cliffhanger at the end will make you hanker for the next one.

The prologue of this book completely captivated me and I was very eager to experience the adventure this one would take me on from cover to cover.
The power in Shuler's vivid descriptions of what Talia's body was enduring in Chapter 2 made my body ache alongside hers. The drama of Chapters 4 & 5 had my head spinning and my emotions all over the place as I watched the war of wills play out and battle lines fall into place. Truths were being revealed and a pending collision of fates was on the horizon. I was on edge and had a burning need to know more about Talia and everything that she was encountering. So much turmoil and uncertainty was taking place for Talia and it had my head a mess. Shuler did a tremendous job of writing these scenes and getting in my mind with such powerful imagery.
All that Talia was learning about herself and her past held me completely rapt throughout this book. I loved this first installment and cannot wait to dive into Book 2!

Shifted : The Oblivion Series Book 1
by Barb Shuler
☆☆☆4 stars☆☆☆
Great beginning to what's sure to be an amazing series of action, love and the creatures we never knew existed, in a world hidden from the human eye.
Talia is learning she's more than what she ever thought possible. She's slowly growing into her true self, and along with it, the powers she holds at her fingertips. Literally.
Joshua has been by Talia's side since she was a young child. He's her everything and would die to protect her. He's the only one that seems to calm her in her times of frustration and sorrow, and it shows the unbreakable bond they share.
Enemies will try to cause harm to Talia, but with Joshua and her loved ones by her side, they will fight with all they have to give. Loving this story and excited for the continuation of their journey and adventures.

A great start to this series!
Wow! This book is amazing! Vampires, shifters, throw in some Druid magic. I read this in a few hours. The writing is fantastic. The characters are well-written. The plot is phenomenal. If shifters and vampires are your thing, grab this up. Hopefully, you enjoy as much as I am.

An excellent first book in a series. It's fast paced with plenty of action. There's even a few twists and turns.

I love this trilogy so far. It's a new look into the Shifting Shadow universe. The characters (Talia, Joshua, Ramport, Sheri, Trenton and other) are amazing and lovable. The story line is very cool and I love how much you learn in the first novel. It does end in a cliff hanger, which usually frustrates me, but the way the author presents it isn't as 'evil' as others. I can not wait to read the next addition to the series.

A good story. It's definitely a unique plot since she thought she was a vampire but then it turns out she's also part witch/Druid and a feline shifter. It was adorable that the Alpha's son knew from such a young age that the tiny broken-hearted daughter of the rightful King of the Vampires was his mate but there's no sexual contact until after her 18th birthday.
It felt a bit choppy at times and hard to follow along but then it'd catch back on track and pull me back in. I'm intrigued to rag the next and see if the rough parts are smoothed out more.
