Book Blurb

Holidays can be lonely, when a shifter is immortal, it can be even lonelier. Two shifters come together on the longest night and find a way to be together.

 

Bran Coffee finds himself stranded in a blizzard on the way to his clan’s Yule gathering. As a bear he likes to sleep the longest night away, so he finds himself a spot out of the wind where he’ll be safe. When he wakes, he finds a stranger waiting for him, but before he’ll find his clan, he’ll discover new love and break the lonely chains binding a dragon from the world he’s forsaken.

 

Book Review

The longest night, or the winter solstice, is a holiday I can see shifters celebrate. Especially assuming they are closer to nature than humans due to being part animal. In this story bear shifter Bran is on his way to his clan’s gathering when his car breaks down, there is a blizzard, and he is desperate for shelter. Bears, you see, like to sleep through the solstice – probably a remnant of their bear natures. The idea made me smile, while at the same time, I was curious to see what happens to Bran once he falls asleep in a cave so deep that he has trouble getting inside in one piece.

When he wakes up there is someone with him, and the guy has thoughtfully provided “breakfast” in the form of a hare. After a week asleep, Bran is hungry enough to devour it in one sitting. Once he is done, he starts asking questions, and soon figures out the man guarding the cave is also a shifter – a very rare dragon. I liked how they get to know each other just briefly before deciding to go look for Bran’s clan, after all, they are shifters!

If you like stories about paranormal beings and their winter holiday traditions, and if you’re looking for a short, entertaining read with a touch of mystery, then you might like this short story.
