Nickie Daniels has always known about being abandoned as an infant and her adoption that followed. What she didn’t know was that she’s a shapeshifter.

When a rattlesnake bite rips her from the life she’s always known and forces her into a world she never knew existed, Nickie must scramble to keep up.

Now her best friend Brandon insists she’s his mate. But it’s not him she’s drawn to. The man she can’t walk away from is Devon. He should be able to shift, but somehow can’t. He’s felt out of place and abandoned for years.

As Nickie tries to navigate hazards and pitfalls of her new life, can she choose between the man who claims her and the one she can’t resist?

5.0 out of 5 stars Change - Kitsune #1
Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2024

Nickie Daniels didn’t know she was a Kitsune (wolf shapeshifters) until she was bitten by a rattlesnake. Nickie found out that she was born a Kitsune. Her best friend Brandon says that he is her mate. Nickie feels more drawn to Devon who is Kindred (another type of shapeshifter) but he cannot shapeshift. Nickie must choose who will be her mate. I really enjoyed this great paranormal fantasy romance novel.

4.0 out of 5 stars CHANGE
Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2013

I want to start out by saying I love the concept of the book, and couldn't put it down.

HOWEVER....I did find myself skimming thru a lot of the pages as I felt there could have been much more action as far as drama was concerned. It was def way too wordy in places. To much conversation. When Nickie has a conversation with one or two ppl, then relates that conversation to another, did we HAVE to hear the whole conversation all over again? We were there! Towards the end of the book, the author started doing just that and I must say I was relieved to see that.

That said...I do look forward to reading the second one in the series, as it does look like there will be much more action and less conversation in it.

I look forward to seeing what Brandon does with his threats, and how Nickie and Devon's relationship develops.

Nice story. Gives a lot of background on the pack and the paranormal universe in this rhelm. Nickie comes off as a pragmatic, wise flexible young woman. I'd want her on my team if I ever had to go to battle! Bill seems like a nice Alpha. I would have liked to see his non-Nickie side to get a true 360 of him as Alpha and as a man. Fun story. There were a couple of controversies that were thrown in. They look intriguing! Excellent foundation for a series. Nicely done. There were a few editing issues with dropped pronouns, but nothing that detracts from story context. Lots of single men were introduced to Nickie. Did she make a choice? Did she need to?

3.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable and Quick Read
Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2019
Verified Purchase
This was an enjoyable and quick paranormal romance book. The main character is likeable and I can see her growing in depth in subsequent books. However, the use of "Kitsune" is confusing to me. I believe this typically means fox in Japanese. While this story mentions various animal forms for shifters, the main form in the story line is wolf. Additionally, there were numerous misspelled words, as well as grammar and sentence structure issues that detracted from the flow of the story in the kindle version that I read. The story line has potential, though, so I will eventually give the second book in the series a try.

4.0 out of 5 stars who and what she is and how she see and understands the world shifts very abruptly
Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2018
Verified Purchase
On a typical weekend hike with a buddy from childhood, Nickie finds herself bitten by a rattlesnake.

In order to heal itself, her body changes. Boom. This orphan raised in a family of mostly humans funds out she is a shifter. PS she has an adopted brother who is a shaman.

All of a sudden, she sees, hears and smells the word differently. In more ways than one, really. She realizes she is a telepath, and can hear and understand many others, and call or stop a shift.

Thanks to a long time friend of her father, she learns many new skills.

As she puts it, it is probably less that everyone else has changed, and more now that she has changed that she sees and understands them in different ways.

Unfortunately, not all want to relate to her without seeing her as a threat - or as a desirable mate. Talk about culture shock - the idea that someone would try to claim her is completely foreign - and a huge shock when someone tries.

A really interesting standalone - and very cool as the first book in a series about this community.

It is the kind of book with action and adventure that also makes you think about perceptions and ideologies - including understanding of self.

Looking forward to the adventures continuing!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best Shifter books I have read!
Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2020

This version of shifting is very interesting and different from other books. You have to be born to Kitsune parents to become one.
This book has a Kitsune man that can't shift. There is a young woman who was adopted and one day she shifts. She has a talent that can help the man shift. The story is very well written and keeps your interest.

2.0 out of 5 stars There are no Kitsune in this book
Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2013
Verified Purchase
A kitsune is a Japanese shape shifter. They turn into foxes usually seen with multiple tails (traditionally 9). Melissa Stevens seems to have wanted to use a different word for her shifters. I was disappointed when Nickie turned into a wolf. I would have been happier if she had left "Kitsune" completely out of her book if she was going to ignore the traditional mythology.

There are repetitive sections where she describes the same events multiple times. When Nickie turns into a wolf for the first time, you get the scene first hand, then she describes it to her best friend, then she tells the whole story again to her new alpha.There are long, overly detailed descriptions. How many times do you need a detailed breakdown of how someone puts on a pair of shoes, puts together a plate of food, gets ready for a shape-change, gets into her locked apartment and so-on.

About a third of this book should have been deleted.

There’s a lot of good material in here but there was ALOT of repeated conversations and a lot of them weren’t relevant to the story.
Also for a romance novel there was literally only 2 kisses. Spice level 0.25 as it all happened in the last 20 pages.

Pretty good book except for the fundamental misunderstanding of what a kitsune is. (Kitsune means fox in japanese). Otherwise a solid slice of life (ish) story.
