BLURB:
Float like a butterfly. Kill like a swallowtail.
Scott knows his boring day is over the second a bloody and scared George Kelvin crashes into his office, claiming people are trying to kill him. He knows he should pass the case over to one of his brothers, but he can’t seem to do it. The strength and resilience of the man mixed with a quirky sense of humor fascinate him. He may be a human in the company of powerful shifters, but he’s just as deadly and well trained as the rest of his brothers.
With devious CIA agents, foreign forces gunning for what George possesses and George’s power-hungry father, who is also Deputy Director of the FBI, Scott begins to wonder if he’s bitten off more than he can chew.
George always knew his father was dangerous and cruel. However, he never thought that those titles would inadequately sum up the lengths his father is willing to go to, to get what he wants. The only chance he has is using whatever is on file against his father. Staying alive to do that is another challenge. When he runs into the Shifter Protection Specialists, Inc. office, he’s desperate, but isn’t convinced anyone can protect him from his father. Risking more than he’d thought possible, he discovers that maybe he is more than he’s always been taught to believe.
One thing is for certain—his father is not going to give up easily.
REVIEW:
Shifter Protection Specialists, Inc. is a human/shifter run family business which specializes in providing protection for people in danger. This is book two in this series and I must say that it is off to a pretty good start.
George, a half human, half Swallowtail butterfly shifter, is on the run from his abusive, cruel, and corrupt human father who happens to be the Deputy Director of the FBI, and various other foreign operatives hoping to get their hands on some valuable, top secret information he has. It would appear that George, while quietly gathering proof that his father murdered his mother, inadvertently obtained obtained information that could very well endanger the security of several countries if this information were to fall into the hands of the wrong people.
This series so far is turning out to be a pretty good read. I find the characters entertaining. Here you have this close knit family which consists of human and shifters who run a successful protection agency. The interactions between these brothers will keep you laughing throughout the story with Oscar aka Ozzy, a bear shifter providing much of the book’s humorous moments. There’s Iago, a Phoenix shifter, the beautiful Viktor, a gryphon shifter, Raptor, a velociraptor shifter, and a snake shifter named Khan. Then there’s Merlin, a dragon shifter, and Aleksi, a saber tooth tiger shifter (Purrfect Protector). They’re all brothers with humans Scott, Jazz and Robert, the oldest brother and patriarch of the family. What I especially liked about the story was the loving and close relationship these men share. They’re proof that not all families consist of blood relatives. Welsh has done a great job of forming these characters. The way the characters are written allows you to become connected to all of them which will make the transition from one book into the next easier.
The author did a wonderful job of connecting you to these men. I cared about all of them. You not only got a book featuring the MC’s story, but the other character’s stories as well without it being confusing.
The lengths of the books are substantial, which is something that I really enjoy when reading a series. There were a few editing mishaps but they were minor and did not deflect from my overall enjoyment of the story. I liked the book and I think that other readers will as well.
If you enjoy reading about shifters, intrigue, action and suspense with a touch of sexiness, then this series would definitely be something that would interest you. This is yet another series that I will continue to read and enjoy.
