Book Blurb

Jude Kash’s life was filled with abused animals and too little sleep. His work at the We Are One Foundation brought him his new devil-dog Teddy Bear and his new obsession: an abused liger named Sampson.

Sampson suffered from poor living conditions and threats with a gun. Jude, or Kash to his friends, witnessed it first hand when he snuck onto Whitman’s, Sampson’s owner’s, property. When Kash and others from the We Are One Foundation finally make a plan to rescue poor Sampson things go terribly wrong.

When Kash finally regains consciousness he awoke to a very handsome and naked man taking care of him. Kash felt a connection with the man he couldn’t explain. The man introduced himself as Maj and explained everything except for one small detail of his life: he was Sampson, a liger shifter.

Kash took the news considerably well except for one problem... that detail wasn’t so small, in fact, it could cost Kash his life.

 

 

Book Review

After reading the original story (a short short version of only about five pages) and liking it, I was excited to see that the author has now written a longer tale. At the heart of it is Jude, an animal rights activist who sets out to free a mistreated liger. What he finds once the cat is free is – something totally unexpected for him. That twist was as good as the first time, but there is more! The additional details on Jude, an extra second twist, and the extra dimension added depth to the characters and the world, and made me a very happy reader.

Jude is a good guy who tries to help those who can’t help themselves. Whether it an abused dog he ends up naming Teddy Bear, Teddy for short, or an abused liger, Jude fights for their freedom as if it were his own. His past isn’t exactly blessed with a loving family – his father emotionally abused him for years before kicking him out of the house at age fourteen. So I can see where Jude’s motivation comes from. The fact that he is willing to put himself in danger for others’ sake speaks volumes about who he is. Sampson, the liger he wants to set free, is being kept in horrible conditions, and Jude strides out with his organizations okay, but not their active help.

Things don’t quite go as he hoped they would when Sampson's owner makes an appearance. Luckily, Jude has help from the threatened beast himself. The surprise that follows would be most people's undoing, but Jude deals with it amazingly well. As the story continues beyond its original end, the mystery deepens, a stranger appears, and more revelations follow. Jude is in for the adventure of a lifetime!

If you like stories about men who fight for what they believe in, if you're looking for a world with more than a few surprises, and if you’re looking for a read with a definite paranormal edge, then you will probably enjoy this novella.
