Unleashed by Sara Humphreys
Paranormal Romance – Oct. 1st, 2011
4 stars

A stunning new shifter series will thrill paranormal fans who love the genre.

Samantha failed as an artist in N.Y.. Discouraged, she returns back home to lick her wounds. However, the mysterious and primal new neighbor named Malcolm catches her eye. Soon Malcolm is explaining to her the secret of her heritage. She is actually part Amoveo. A race of rare shifters. And she is the last of the wolf clan and can actually turn into a wolf! Plus she is his fated mate. In disbelief Samantha tries to deny Malcolm’s claims but cannot help realizing the truth of his words and the passion of his kisses.

As the last of the eagle clan Malcolm has waited years for his mate to mature. For without her to eventually bond with he is slowly losing his powers and any hope of continuing his line. But he refuses to force her. He loves her fierce spirit but fears for her life. For the fanatical Caedo family has hunted the Amoveo to near extinction and now have their sights fixed on Samantha. Can he convince Samantha the truth of his words before it is too late?

This was a fascinating world. Anyone who loves shifters will be thrilled with this new series. The author vaguely refers to the very hunky men of other clans and leaves a lot open for exploration. Samantha is a fierce and independent woman who is easy to relate to and her grandmother Nonie brings family charm and warmth to this story. Malcolm is definitely a sexy alpha but I liked that he doesn’t try to force Samantha even if it would be safer for her and gives her choices. The premise for the story is absorbing but the details of the Amoveo world are not as fully fleshed as I would have liked. So I hope the author fills in more details about the men and their charismatic leader Richard. I was particularly interested in Richard as he is very powerful and already has a mate and would enjoy reading about both of them in future books?! I can’t wait to read more about the other clans and understand more how they interrelate. The only thing which bothered me was the ending/villain which is supposed to be a surprise but really seemed tacked on and unnecessary.

A spectacular new series sure to capture the imagination.
