Rook Unleashed: Protectors World Novel
Heads were about to roll...literally.
A squirrel shifter, I was also the unwilling princess to a mafia empire, Rook Enterprises. My father kept a tight leash on all of his minions, but when he collapses due to a heart attack, I have to step in and fill his shoes.
When a shipment arrives containing supernatural cargo. The only way I know to keep a Fairy Queen from being sold for parts is to claim her as my own. The problem is that I'm drawn to her. She calls to me in a way that no other woman has done before. Can Whisper forgive me for the family that I come from? Will she even be willing to have a relationship with the woman that bought her?
Determined to stop the trafficking of supernaturals, I must figure out a way while keeping my father's empire running properly. Whisper is taken as leverage, but how can I protect the woman I've fallen for without losing everything else?
Rook Unleashed is set in the Protectors World and ties into the Feathered Protectors series as they fight against the evil group Omens of Death. This fast-paced novel will have you gripping your device as you race towards the end.

I bought this because I loved the idea of a squirrel shifter. However, every other part of this short story was underwhelming. The synopsis hinted that this is a sapphic romance story, but the instant turbo horny and no other relationship development did nothing for me.
What really drove the score down the most to me is that this 60 page short is written exactly like fan fiction; there is an assumption you have read all the other books in this "Protectors World" series as nothing at all is explained. Only the MC and her brother get anything close to an introduction, and all other characters, factions, organizations, and aspects/mechanics of the worlds are referenced and included with no explanation to what is going on or why I should care about any of these characters.
I could put up with the sudden addition of towards the end, but the part of the plot is a severe turn off and is the straw that pushes this all the way to 1 star for me.

I genuinely couldn't get into this book. I don't know if it's just not my cup of tea when it comes to writing styles, but I just couldn't. I skipped on into the book to see if it would pick up so that I could go back and just drag the story along with me to get to a point that I enjoyed but I couldn't find one. Points for the cover, though. That's what brought me in. Well, and the idea of squirrel shifters. Because, really, who would've thought?

interesting short, but thought it was a novel
I think this was an interesting short story on a very different type of criminal shifter organization, but I didn’t realize it was a short story and not a novel.

Enjoyable sort story
At 60 pages this is a short story not a novel by it is an enjoyable one. Reading others in the series would help as well, but it does work as a standalone. Well written with a good premise. I will be reading more in this series and by this author.

Good book
I have read books about different shifters but I have never read a book about a person that could shift into a squirrel. I thought it was great that Rook took the business in a little bit of a different direction.

Whiplash would be an understatement. Strong opening, will no longer enjoy a book if it doesn't start with boobs and a heart attack. 10/10
