Although the various treads get attention – especially Kate’s relationship with her father continues to fascinate – Magic Shifts introduces a rather typical mystery-action-adventure of the kind series readers will recognize from the earlier books. Though perhaps a were-lion is not the kind of neighbour the humans signed up for… When a pack member goes missing, Kate and Curran are faced with an enemy they haven’t encountered before – and it’s getting stronger every day.Īfter a book that made some huge steps in the overall story arc of the series, Magic Shifts is a slight return to the monster-of-the-week format.
