This was a really cool paranormal world. There are shifters, but not how you'd think. In this world, they live in clans and are called on soul quests to find their companion animal, as well as their magic which makes them either a warrior, seer, healer, or sorcerer. It almost felt Native American in some ways. Also, only the males of their race know when they've met their fated mates, and since the women don't know this, the men have to work really hard to win them, which I found awesome.

The couple in this book was Kateri and Priest. Kateri had a very scientific mind and was also very curious. Long ago, she'd buried her real personality to satisfy her dad, who wanted her to be a planner and all logic. Priest was strong, very powerful, and also sympathetic due to what happened with his awful brother. I loved watching him do his best to court Kateri.

I loved the side characters of Kateri's brother Alek, and their grandmother, Naomi. Priest's wards, Tate and Jade, were great, too. I'm definitely looking forward to reading Tate's story, since we know who his mate is.

Overall, this was a very enjoyable read. I had a hard time putting it down. As Kateri and Alek learned more about their new world, I was intrigued. The romance was quite steamy, and I loved how supportive Priest was of Kateri. The action didn't really pick up until the end, but that was okay with me, since I was pretty interested in watching Kateri's growth. I think if you like unique paranormal worlds, strong characters, and steamy romance, you may want to check this one out.
