Red Dawn
by Ann Gimpel
Goodreads blurb: A deliciously different dark, erotic fantasy.
Llyr is a whale shifter with a whale-sized problem. The seas are dying, poisoned by heavy metal contamination and barrels of trash. In a bold and desperate move, he and his mate Galatea, the Sea Witch, hatch up magic to allow him to spend as long as he needs to on land.
Llyr masquerades as a marine biologist and signs on with a firm whose mission is to save the oceans, but his boss has been possessed by ancient evil that wants the whales dead. Desperate, Llyr returns to the sea for answers, but only finds more problems. Staring into the maw of his own destruction brands him, changes him irrevocably, and takes his choices away, but he can’t give up.
Riding a fine edge between redemption and ruin, Llyr discovers his greatest fear may well save his people.

My Thoughts - 3 out of 5
Unicorns - I liked it!!!
***Received a copy of the ebook for
an honest review, but I do own a copy in the bundled set Paranormally Yours
The
cover definitely attracts the eye, but I wish it had more orca in it :)
This
is definitely for adults only, and it is novella length at about 80 pages. This has very steamy scenes involving magic
and multiple partners. This story was
also in the Paranormally Yours bundle if you picked up that set.
This
is the first time I have read anything by Ann, and I enjoyed it. Her scenes are very steamy and well written
:) This is also the first time I’ve read
a story with whale (Orca) shifters.
Shifters are people (humans) who turn into another form in this instance
a whale. There was some action, and the
story idea is very creative, but parts felt very rushed to me with regard to
his job and saving the ocean and the bad guy.
Ann’s writing is descriptive and easy to read. I love the fun lovin’ Nereids that are
playful sea nymphs. I think I need to
read more ocean shifter stuff to decide if I really like it or I prefer my
shifters on land :)
I’m
definitely going to look into more books by Ann especially her Company Store
series because it really intrigues me, and they are longer stories :)
I
recommend this story to those who enjoy multiple partner shifter stories and want
something unique and oceanic :)
Interested in reading???
