Great book, outstanding series!

I absolutely loved this! Zeus is a shy dog-shifter and his inner Saint Bernard is perfectly suited on the Mad Creek Search & Rescue Team proving assistance after an earthquake in Alaska. While there, Zeus meets Timo, a Quimmiq dog-shifter, who ekes out a precarious existence with his small pack in the Alaskan wilderness. Timo’s pack have dropped in numbers and live, healthy pups are a rarity. Timo must summon his courage to travel to Mad Creek to seek answers that will help his pack. This series! Once again, I was choked up by the beautiful characters and sympathetic writing. The slow burn romance between Zeus and Timo was moving but it really took a back seat to the plight of indigenous peoples struggling with the changing environment and the limited gene pool. Some readers may want more romance, but I loved the richness of the story. The incredible strength of this series continues to be all the admirable traits of dogs (e.g. loyalty, playfulness, innocence) personified in human form along with the dog-breed-specific personality traits - it’s a wonderfully inspired concept by Eli Easton. A huge shout out to audio narrator Matthew Shaw, his empathetic rendering of the text really amplifies the joys and the sorrows so well.
