Tide Shift

Welcome back to the Second Moon!

Karina and Devyn are reunited, but the danger has only gotten deadlier. The bond between the Kitsune and Shaman reaches a new level of intimacy, one Devyn can’t bring himself to resist. Rules be damned. If he dies for his crimes, at least it will be for love—for the one girl he’d gladly lay down his life for.

As Karina’s powers as a Kitsune grow, she loses pieces of her humanity. How long before she is more fae than human?

Fans of Twilight, A Shade of Vampire, and Shadowhunters will fall in love with Nine Tails, a short novel series.

Prepare for a unique spin on the shifters you love - and an adventure that is as thrilling as it is unexpected.

**********Contains Spoilers**********

Man, I love this series. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. There were so many twists and turns in this book and a lot of danger. Karina and Devyn and on the run from her great uncle Ryker. They have a one sided mate bond as if they complete their bond it has dire consequences not only because them loving each other is against Fae law, they’ve also linked their magic together so Devyn’s life is at stake. Will Devyn be able to resist temptation and not complete their mate bond? Both Kai and Belle show back up while Devyn and Karina are heading to safety and I find it really amusing how much they both love annoying Devyn and get so pleasure with it. Devyn has a plan how how to keep Karina safe but it’s a huge gamble as they have to travel through Thornland, her uncle Talin’s territory to find the Crow to see if he’ll offer them sanctuary. Some hidden truths were revealed during this book that I wasn’t expecting and I really want to find out what Kai’s angle is, does he actually love Karina or is he just in it to rule. All I can say is man what an ending and I’m glad that I waited until the series was finished until I started reading it so I don’t have to wait for the next book to be released to find out what happens. I’d recommend this book, series and author to everyone.

Karina and Deyvn escaped with the help of Kai, his half-brother. The water can be very unforgiving at times, and this is no exception. They have a long way to travel, with no guarantee they will be saved. But they must continue. Their only hope is to reach land before her crazy uncle stops them. They need food and provisions like water and something to help her with her seasickness.

Katsura seems like a long way off, and nothing but headache between them and there. But she is the Katsura, there to save the people and the land. She will not fail. So....she best embrace her other half and get on with it. Tink shows up and they head off into the sunset. They thought they had found refuge; they thought they might be safe for a little while.....but you know what happens when you think too much??

You need to read to find all the answers to your questions. Its a great story and the characters are the bomb!!

so happy to be back in this world and to find out more about this world!

I love the interactions with our main characters Karina is such a likeable character and I really like learning with her about the new world she finds herself in even if sometimes its a little slower then I would like!
Devyn is a good counterpart to Karina and I wish we knew more about his life sometimes as I still feel like there are holes even though we found out more.
The addition of Kai has been great too, I hope we get more about him and who he really is.

The setting is great and I like seeing more and more of this world and can't wait to head to the centre in the next one. The magic system is cool too and I feel like anything is possible, really adds to the story.

Can't wait to see what power Karina find next!

Karina and Devyn are sexy and their energy comes across the pages with smoke! This is a wild fantasy adventure that mixes the real world and the not so real world. Together they meet some interesting people and visit some amazing places. Some interesting friends join in their quest to get Karina to the safety of the only place she can learn to control her Kitsune and hopefully gain all nine of her tails. But the bad guys are always after her and showing up in expected places. Great characters and story!

Wow. What a way to end this one. I was worried about halfway through that we were going to get a major cliffhanger but I am dead. This series has been just one ride after another and this book was no different. I found myself wanting to go back and reread the whole series just to remember all of the details.
A definite must if you like books that aren't just 3 books long but span a huge story and plot line without losing that plot.

Karina now has 6 tails. The most recently acquired being Spirit when she called on an army of spirits to help them escape Ryker’s men. Now that Ryker and her are in a ship we can assume by this books title that this tail has something to do with water.

Question: what happened to Ryker’s horse after the rescue?

Fave scenes: Karina’s spirit dream, the pink hot spring, Kai’s star show and the pit.

OMG!!!! The way that ended Jennifer!!!! Seriously! I half expected it but it didn't have to end that away! UGH!
Anyways!!! If you haven't read this series, you are definitely missing out! This series is so good that you want to reread it all over again. I can't wait for the next book. Hopefully we won't have to wait too long for it this time. lol

I have been waiting awhile for the continuation of this story and it did not disappoint! I love that things picked up pretty much where the last book left off, as it made it easier to slip back into this world after a long absence. The twists and turns in this series keep coming and I cannot wait for the next book.

I absolutely love this book! So fantastic!

Tide Shift picks up from the last book and the chemistry between Karina and Devyn is fantastic! The bond between them is forbidden, but hard to resist. The characters are fabulous and has a lot of growth and depth. The plot grows even better! So much twists and turns and surprises! I couldn't put this book down! I can't wait for the next book!

Great story

I have enjoyed reading this book, as well as many others from this author. She is very creative, and I enjoy all the adventure, and the interesting take on fantasy ideas already established. Highly recommend! Just wish the last book was out now... and not in a couple of months....

Omg I loved this book! I couldn’t stop reading it. I even read some of it out loud to my daughter and she was smiling and about 20 mins in she was asleep. So action packed, I can’t wait to see what’s in store in the next one! I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

Bad Uncle

Not one good uncle. Every uncle Katrina has is trying to kill her and steal her power. What where Devin and Kia thinking taking her to Tallin's domain and letting her was alone?

loved this series

I read this whole series in a week and it was amazing! I love the world Weil built. It started off simple yet intriguing and then became down right complex with so many emotions and twists and turns I had no idea where this story would end up! I love Devyn and Karin and a little nervous about where this Kai thing is going! So excites for the next book!
