And I think in my own mind I make a distinction between "were" type shapeshifting and the more fluid ability to morph into a variety of shapes...Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11835101886202235868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265120169320473011.post-61317189699052496282010-09-06T20:17:32.907-05:002010-09-06T20:17:32.907-05:00I recommend Kristin Cashore and her companion book...I recommend Kristin Cashore and her companion books, "Graceling" and "Fire." These aren't NECESSARILY shapeshifter books, but what do you like about shifter books? The magic and romance, right? That's what Kristin has. [:<br /><br />But for real shifter books, I recommend The Werewolves of Mercy Falls series by Maggie Steifvater. The first two books are "Shiver" and "Linger." Alsoo, if you read more adult genre books, I recommend Patricia Briggs' Alpha and Omega series. It's a really sweet love story.

My jaw dropped when I saw it on here. I think your assessment is quite sound. From what I remember, it sounds just about right. It was the cover that first intrigued me, but it does seem suited for a younger audience (funny thing is, I also looked at her website a while back to see if she had come out with anything else).<br /><br />But as far as other shapeshifter books go - Little Sister by Kara Dalkey. Oh my gosh amazing. I am the screaming advocate for that book. Not only the best shapeshifter book by far I've ever read (I haven't read Mistwood yet), but one of the best Asian fantasies as well. Look hard for a copy. If you can't find one, I'll buy you one. I'm not kidding.Heather Zundelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16621649337908358313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265120169320473011.post-33850875586515020382010-04-22T19:27:58.241-05:002010-04-22T19:27:58.241-05:00Thanks Morgan!

I also really like the cover.<br /><br />I would defiantly have to recommend Rachel Hawthorne's shape shifter series (If you haven't already read it). The first one in the series is Moonlight.Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11341203393966461548noreply@blogger.com
