First Shift

Rate this book
Celine Crane can’t remember how she ended up in Callum Cree’s arms but she’s not exactly complaining.

Attacked and left for dead in the woods, somehow, she survived—and in fact, she feels better than ever. Her savior explains her life is about to change and she somehow senses he’s the only one to help her with that change. Something makes her trust the mysterious and mesmerizing mechanic and she finds she doesn’t want to be anywhere else but by his side.

Finding a beautiful woman wounded and confused in the woods is not how Callum expects to find his mate. But, after he finds Celine bitten by a rogue shifter—and in the throes of her first shift—he knows he has found exactly that.

Nothing is as it seems in Diablo Falls and now that she's part of the shadowy creatures her mother warned her about, she's not so sure who the bad guy is anymore.

Welcome to Diablo Falls, where the world of the supernatural is out in the open, and where fangs, fur, and magic are the norm. Join the authors of Bite Club and meet those who are experiencing paranormal firsts in our growly, filthy collection of thirteen steamy “First Time” short stories.

Because we all know… you never forget your first.

This is my first book written by this duo and they have done an amazing job giving us a sweet, sexy short story that keeps you anticipating what will be happening next. I don’t want to give away the story but I can say that it is fast and full of action and those sexy times...daaaaaaaamn! This might be a cute short but I didn’t feel like it was lacking at any time. Look forward to more from this dynamic duo and soon!
This is my honest and unbiased review.

This is a great short PNR read that takes us alongside Celine and Callum as their paths cross and their future unfolds. The storyline is fast paced and filled with romance, and even a bit of suspense. We learn the ways of this particular wolf pact as well as insight into the two main characters as they learn to adjust and adapt to all the changes. I’m excited to see what this new author duo have in store for us in the future.

This was a quick but great read. I didn't want this story to end. I was drawn into the story from the first page.

Celine is turned against her will but Callum is there to help her out. Not many humans survive a turn but he is going to make sure that she is. She is his Fated Mate. He has now become the new Alpha of the pack, a role that he didn't want. They grow their bond for a couple of days before meeting the pack. They must help the pack heal from their previous Alpha. What will he do when she is taken from him?

Awaken to change
This book opens right into a scene of action that sets the tone for the entire book. Our girl might not know what is going on, but the instant connection she feels for her big burly man is something she can hold onto. The author did a great job of slowly bringing us through the healing process for all the characters. By the time we get to the HEA, we can see exactly how far they have all come. I look forward to the next story by this author.

Short and sweet with a lot of sexy. That's what I say about these short reads. This was actually my first paranormal book this short. I have read a lot of paranormal; it's one of my favorite romance genres if done right. That said, I wish this book had more in the way of length. I really liked it and Celine and Callum had a good connection. There was definitely potential to write a longer book. This was my first book by this author duo and it won't be my last. In fact, I will be checking out more of these paranormal stories from the Bite Club PNR Readers.

This book follows the journey of how Celine and Callum met and formed an unbreakable bond. They were so good together. And Callum was so amazing you couldn't help but love him. There is a bit of suspense which added to the book's overall enjoyment for me. As I mentioned, I'm looking forward to more from this author.

You should check out Bite Club PNR. You just might find a new author or two that you'll like.

Callum kills the mad alpha wolf and finds the last victim is his mate who needs to survive the change.
Lone Wolf Callum had left his birth pack to make way for his younger brother to become Alpha as he felt he would make a better Alpha than himself. Now he had killed the local pack alpha who had gone mad after losing his mate and family thus making himself Alpha of that pack. The old Alpha had bitten three women in an effort to change them and made himself a new mate. The first two had died but the third Callum realizes is his fated mate so he takes her to his cabin where he must help her survive her first shift into her wolf form. Celine had been aware of the pain the comforting voice tells her to let her new inner wolf free and the pain will ease. She has been alone since she ran away from her last foster parent but now feels the pull towards this stranger.

A short story, that starts right when turned and mated. Celine has always been on her own, now she is in Diablo Falls. Callum is a lone wolf after leaving his family pack. The story starts with Callum finding Celine injured and knowing she is his mate. Celine is confused, but knows she wants Callum. Can Celine accept being changed? Can Celine accept being mated to Callum? What will Callum do to keep Celine? How can Callum help Celine accept her wolf? What will happen now that he killed the Alpha, to protect his mate? I did read the Epilogue and it ends up leaving you wondering what will happen in the next book.

This is my 1st read and review for this author and I absolutely loved this story. Callum finds Celine in the forrest she had been bitten by an alpha wolf and now she is burning up from the inside out. Callum knew what happened to Celine and he knows that she is burning up inside from her wolf trying to get out so Callum takes Celine back to his cabin in the forrest to help her with her change because Callum is an alpha the wolf will listen and come through. Celine doesn’t remember what happened to her in the forrest she is burning up inside and that the man who is holding her she feels safe with, Callum knows that Celine is his mate he has to try and save her or the change will kill her. Fantastic story and I highly recommend this book it’s definitely well worth the read.

First Shift by Rebel Raven is a short story that is part of the Diablo Falls series. In this story, Celine has been attacked and bitten by the Red Ridge pack alpha werewolf who has gone insane. Callum another werewolf comes across the scene and attacks and kills the crazy alpha, then immediately begins to help Celine. This is a sweet, wild, and sexy short story of two single people who find each other and discover they are fated mates. This is the perfect short paranormal love story.

First Shift by Rebel Raven a five-star read that will change you. This is a stand-alone in the Diablo Falls series, if you like your stories with a paranormal twist then you can’t go wrong with this series. I am so thankful to the Flirt Club for introducing me to Bite Club. This starts with a bang and it keeps the drama and heat up from the first page to the last and it just gets better and better with each page. Celia and Callum are so great, they will surprise you at every turn. I can’t wait for more from this author.

This is the first story I read by this author and then realized it's a duo. Whoa! Was this story awesome! I am loving all the Diablo Falls stories and this one was no exception. It has you from the beginning and I couldn't put it down until I was done. Celine and Callum were so hot and their chemistry and connection was undeniable. It sucked you in from the beginning and you could feel all their attraction and love and emotions.

Right from the first moment that Celine realized Callum was holding her in his arms, I was hooked on their relationship. Normally insta-loves aren't realistic to me, but with the circumstances around their meeting, the whole insta-love feelings made total sense and were an important part of the first chapter. A lot happens in the story, but it all feels natural, taking you along with the characters as they go through the journey.

Amazing love story!
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Celia and Callum's story. This is the stuff of romantic dreams. Magical shifters, dangerous obstacles to overcome and an otherworldly, feet first, undying love. Make sure you sign up for the newsletter to get the Bonus Epilogue. It's so worth it and has a lead up to a new chapter of the story.

Another fast paced steamy hot read about Diablo Falls. You can't get enough of these stories. You will devour them. This story is about wolf shifters the journey of Celine and Callum. Nothing is as it seem in Diablo Falls, it is full of vampires, witches, shifters and humans all mixed in together.

Celine doesn’t realize what has happened to her, but Callum does. Through the violence of an attack, a new beginning has started for the pack, Celine, and the new Alpha. Also, this starts a new series which I will be reading and can recommend.

This book grabs you from the first page and does not let go. The main characters have not had an easy life. Their story reminds me of the song Broken Road by the Rascal Flatts but with a bit more suspense. I loved this book and can not wait to read more about their pack!

If you're looking for a short and sweet shifter story, you've found it. Grab a cuppa and settle in for a debut novella from Rebel Raven that ticks all the paranormal romance boxes.
