Shifters in the Night (Mystic Bayou, #5)

by Molly Harper

Amanda Ronconi (Narrator) and Jonathan Davis (Narrator)

A chance meeting leads to a wild ride in this irresistible audio-first romance by Audie Award-nominated author Molly Harper! 

Lia Doe came to Mystic Bayou for one simple reason: to get her job done. Namely, to build a housing complex for all the new residents flocking to town since word of its supernatural population got out. But from the moment Lia arrives, it's clear that nothing about the job is going to be simple.

First, there's the mysterious guy she meets in the middle of the night while they're both cavorting in their alternate forms. Spending time with shape-shifters is nothing new to Lia, but there's something special about Jon Carmody…and the magical pull she feels whenever he's near. There's also a sense of homecoming and belonging in Mystic Bayou that makes her want to stick around - despite the dangers brewing from mysterious forces.

Will Lia complete her project with her heart unscathed, or will her life shift forever?

Reviews

Another fun foray into the paranormal world of Mystic Bayou. This romance has more mature characters and I really enjoyed the slightly different perspective on a town and falling in love in Mystic Bayou.

Lia Doe is a deer shifter - how cool is that? I found the deer abilities particularly interesting. As a shifter she ages more slowly... it's been a while so I forget her age but I want to say 50s? I may be a little off, but she's mature. She has experience, both romantically and professionally and I really enjoyed watching her use that maturity to handle both her problematic employment and romantically awkward Jon.

Jon is a selkie, like his brother Will (doctor that we met in a previous book), but he lives on the outskirts of town, runs his boat repair shop and otherwise keeps to himself. But with Will back in town he's pushing those boundaries to meet new people. When Lia comes to town, he is immediately drawn to her and wants to court her. He too is older, but I would venture to say less experienced. His awkwardness was a delight to watch and made him super easy to cheer on. It also led to some great (aka hilarious) dialogue).

I was happy to watch them both get their HEA and I also really enjoyed the progress/developments going on in Mystic Bayou. It's changing so much from book to book, in exciting ways for all the characters.

Amanda Ronconi and Jonathan Davis continue to narrate this series, with Ronconi performing Lia's POV and Davis taking up Jon's. I have enjoyed their performances; despite having very different voice styles they work well together and each bring the characters to life.
