5.0 out of 5 stars A shifter story with an interesting take on the genre

A great shifter story with a unique take on the genre. Romance is not the main thread of this story but there are signs and building blocks in place for the series. A complete story in itself this can be read as a standalone. I loved the authors take on shifter guides and the Native American aspect in the book. The characters develop well and the pace is fast with a lot of action. All around awesome story and a great series opener. Please note this is how series should be written, it is not a larger book chopped into itty bitty chapters, you get a fleshed out, exciting full story that has a satisfying conclusion.

Story: 4 Stars

I enjoyed the story and am looking forward to the next installment. While the narrator's voice was enjoyable there were times she sounded very flat and almost monotone. Overall, I was kept engaged in the story. I actually listened to most of it over two sittings while playing Pogo games.

Disclosure: I received a free copy of the book.

I've decided to flesh out my review a bit.

I really enjoyed the different interpretation of the shifter lore. It's not the typical shifter story where the man and beast are basically the same person with two different forms. In this series, you are not born a shifter or infected with a virus during a bite. You are chosen by your spirit animal which can act independently of you to help you see, hear, know what's ahead of you. There is another twist of how shifters can be made, via the blood of a

I really enjoyed the main female character Autumn. She's smart (like scientist smart), savvy and full of spunk. Blake is the smart, brooding military type on a mission to protect his people. Blake's cousin, Chogan, was a nice foil to the burgeoning romance between Autumn and Blake. This is not the typical romance novel where the characters get horizontal five minutes after meeting. The love story takes time to develop.

While the immediate story is wrapped up, the bigger story continues in the next books.

After reading the summary of Autumn's Blood I was immediately intrigued. I had a feeling that this book would be like no other Shifter book I had read and boy was I right! The author added so many delicious twists and turns that I was unable to put it down, such a great start to the series. The characters in Autumn's Blood are wonderfully enticing, while the storyline is strong and engaging. I can't wait to start the next book. I have a feeling there are many more twists and turns to come!

This story takes a different approach to shifters and makes it interesting. There is action and romance which never actually progressed to sex, but it got close. There was also profanity. The story itself was captivating, but the almost sex and the profanity brought the stars down.

4.0 out of 5 stars Awesome shifter story
Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2014

This is a story of the evils faced when one is different and used to try and create more no matter what the cost is. Blake is working for the government in a facility that is conducting experiments on his kind with the hopes of creating a super army. Autumn is brought in to help find the answers to creating them. Blake is hiding his identity and trying to find a way to stop the experiments and free the captives. Autumn has discovered she has a secret that can't be discovered. She is taken by Blake so she won't be used as well. Together they are on the run with Blake's cousin Chogan. The story has plenty of danger and suspense to keep the reader engaged from the beginning. The characters are easy to connect with and Blake finds he's drawn to Autumn and tries to fight the attraction but that fails. Chogan throws in his own brand of trouble and now Blake and Autumn find themselves in another battle. Very good story and was well written. if you enjoy a good shifter story you'll enjoy this series. Highly recommend.

I actually bought the next book in this series before reading to even chapter 10! That's saying something most of the time with the free books I can read the free one and go that's predictable or see where the other books are heading this one nope not really! Which is great! I'm glad I found one that isn't the typical Girl meets shifter they hook up and then fight the big bad guy all in a straight line....this one does have that but it leaves you guessing too. It's also not all shifts and sex either.....I don't mind my characters getting a little action in the bedroom but the books where they jump into bed pretty much right away and are fighting the rest of the time to keep their clothes on...nope I'll pass and well this book has steamy scenes and you can tell both characters are in a way building a relationship....getting to know each other which is welcome and refreshing! I also love the use of native American culture in this and how she based shifters in it but didn't limit it to them....I've done my research on shape shifting and she's done a good job with it....I hope this continues throughout the rest of the series and is delved into more! The only fault I can give it is I would have liked a little more of the back stories.

Reviewed in Italy on June 14, 2016

Premetto che questo libro è il primo della serie e di conseguenza non ha un finale, in quanto c'è una continuazione.
La trama sinceramente sembrava promettere bene, ma da metà libro in poi devo ammettere di essermi annoiata, solo per riprendermi un attimo alla fine.
Autumn è una scienziata che studia il DNA e viene contattata per lavoro dal governo, che le propone di lavorare su un DNA di una specie esistente, in modo da poterlo riprodurre in laboratorio. Il maggiore Dumas è a capo della ricerca e le nasconde che il campione di DNA è stato estratto da dei mutaforma, umani con la capacità di trasformarsi in animali. Blake, il caposicurezza di Dumas è anche lui un mutaforma, ma sta segretamente spiando il progetto, per carpirne più informazioni possibili e cercare di ostacolarlo.
Autumn per sbaglio scopre che il suo sangue ha la potenzialità di trasformare un essere umano in un mutaforma, Blake la rapisce, perchè sa che Dumas la potrebbe sfruttare per i suoi scopi. Nel frattempo sopraggiuge anche il cugino di Blake, Chogan, il quale li aiuta a scappare e li porta nella riserva naturale, in modo da sfuggire agli scagnozzi di Dumas.
Lì cercano di escogitare un piano per liberare le cavie in mano al governo e per decidere cosa fare con Dumas.

You always know that when you read marissa farrar's work how amazing it is going to be and also how unique - this one just set the bar even higher. I loved this books so much, i was compelled to just keep turning the pages to find out what was going to happen.
I loved the idea of the spirit shifters, i have read a lot of books about shifters in many different aspects but the idea of spirit shifters just sang to me, it was just so unique and original. Having a spirit choose you is such a compelling read!!!
Autumn's charachter was so well written, it is always so nice to read about a strong capable woman in books, what can i say i like strength in woman and the way she has been written captures her inner beauty and strength. SHe matches up to Blake so well, they are both so strong in completely differnet ways. Blake is such the Alpha male in his caring and protective manner although he tries to cover it all with a mask, this ws portrayed so well.
One of the things i found the most appealing in this book is when they go back to the reservation. There is just such a feeling of family and home there and although Blake hasnt been back for 10 years they all want to help. This is the part of the book that o feel is just so well written. I just cant wait to take on the next book.

As always this deserves more than 5 stars and everyone should read this.

Another good read from one of my favourite authors. A tale of spirit shifters, an unusual take on on the shifter genre, and of a secret government lab trying to exploit them for their paranormal ability and of course doing so illegally, and of Autumn, a nerdy scientist with courage and compassion who gets caught in the midst of this. Blake Wolfcollar,who is working as security chief but is doing so for his own reasons, is initially hesitant about her because of her job but still has to fight his attraction to her and when things get complicated they form an alliance and their relationship starts to develop.
Well written, well paced, and an intriguing story line. The lead characters are appealing but not perfect and the background and situation whilst unreal are still entirely consistent and credible within their own context.
This is a quick read and I recommend this if you like paranormal romance with a twist, and with strong elements of suspense and adventure. This is the first book in the series and you will have to read the others to find out what happens next.

Just your typical geneticist stumbles into a paranormal mess with a mad megalomaniac torturing people. Very simplified storyline..... Ooooh!
