GOLDEN BY SHANNON MAYER

I haven't read a shifter romance in a while so this one really hit the spot for me! It's a unique novel and while I'm not happy about the cliffhanger at the end I really enjoyed it.

​The Little Mermaid meets Loki in this dark, twisted retelling that’s anything but a Fairy Tale. In this world, foes look like friends, the heroes are deliciously wicked, and you’ll never see the end coming.
​
Ten years ago, I ‘died’, and it was the best thing that ever happened to me.
I should have known it wouldn't last.
Once my family thought I was dead I was finally free to live.

Until the day my brother walks into my tiny bookshop.
No one leaves the Grayling pack and gets away with it.

They drag me back, but not for the reason I believe.
My mother has made an enemy of a powerful witch
and I am to take the punishment meant for her.

Death would have been kinder.
This curse? What I am now?

It's so much worse than I could have imagined.

She didn't just cut me off from my wolf, or even simply kill me. She made me a golden retriever and sent me to a shelter.

I'm ready to die in truth now, I'm hoping for it even.
And then my mate walks in...but how am I supposed to convince him I'm the strong partner he needs to help him stop the end of the world when I can’t stop wagging my freaking tail?

READ MY BOOK REVIEW

​Well, I’m not happy with how this one ended! I wasn’t expecting such a big cliffhanger during a profound moment of the book! Thankfully I did enjoy the story overall but I’m very anxious for the next one. It’s hard waiting months for a new book to release when it ends with a banger like this one did.

If you enjoy witches, werewolves, shifters, magic, mayhem, fated mates (who are enemies), and a curse that rocks the lives of the characters then this is a must read for you! Had I not seen this book on Instagram I probably wouldn’t have read it but I’m so glad I did. I haven’t read a werewolf/shifter book in a long time and this one was PERFECT to get back into the trope! I just need more ASAP!
