ARC REVIEW Shifters of SoHo by J.S. Striker

Shifters of SoHo: Salazar & CrimsonShifters of Soho, This is the third installment of the series. It introduces new characters and old. Salazar we met previously in Dean, he was the mute vampire how was imprisoned by the slave traders. Crimson was introduced in Rigby the shifter who helped them escape the mountain. In this new boxed set Salazar and Crimson have been captured on put in cages along with three other people, well... a Wood Fairy, a siren/vampire half breed, and a human. 

Salazar: Trapped in a cage again Salazar again with the help of his fellow captives escape in the midst of escaping he gets chained to the young human boy, Pix. On the run in an unfamiliar forest the five of them work together to safe. When the wood fairy, Khalil, gets injured Crimson reveals what he is in order to save him. Afterwards they split up Crimson with Khalil one way and Salazar, Jison the siren/vampire, and Pix another. It takes Salazar long enough to realize Pix is in fact a woman and not a young man. Pix was trapped on this plan with her sister but when the traders caught them Pix pretended to be a boy to avoid the fate of her sister. Pairing off with this band of mixed match riff raff is her only was to get back to the marketplace and then back home to SoHo. Falling for Salazar was definitely never part of the plan.

Once again Striker writes an epic like story in novella length. So much happens it nonstop and it's a great adventure. Salazar and Pix were a fun couple.

Crimson: After Khalil and Crimson left the others they ended up in SoHo looking for Khalil's mate. After many failed blind dates Khalil finds one that doesn't think he's strange but rather quirky. Crimson isn't sure about her. Alison has no choice the black witches have her mother and unless she delivers Crimson to them they will kill her mother. Nothing ever goes as planned and the portal to deliver Crimson to the black witches screws up and they end up in the middle of nowhere with the added baggage of Khalil tagging along. Crimson has no plans on giving himself over to the black witches but he does promise to help get her mother back. Crimson and Alison try to fight the attraction but being thrown together in life and death situations creates a bond between them that they can't deny even in the end.

Another great story. Overall between Salazar and Crimson this is a great set. Exciting adventures humorous situations and heartfelt romance.
