Shapeshifted

Now with a special cover for the 2025 Christmas Season!

Nurse Edie Spence is once again called upon to save a life...and this time, it's personal. Can her new community of zombies, vampires, and shapeshifters come to her rescue when she needs them most?

When Edie was fired from her paranormal nursing job at County Hospital, her whole world came crashing down. Now she's is once again shaken to her core. Her mother is deathly ill and there's only one thing that will save her: vampire blood. But with the paranormal community shunning Edie, where can she obtain it...without losing her own life in the process?

Edie hopes to procure it at her new job at the clinic across town, where the forces of evil loom large. Vampire gang wars are rampant. Old underground enemies are rising to the surface. And Edie's zombie ex-boyfriend has arrived at the scene-but is he the same man he used to be? And what should she make of the enigmatic doctor with whom she shares an unexpected connection? She'll have to figure it out soon, because all hell is about to break loose-literally-and time is running out...

"Shapeshifted is the third Cassie Alexander novel I've read, and I enjoyed it just as much as the first. Edie Spence, Alexander's nurse protagonist, has a real talent for getting into trouble and somehow getting out of it, but each time she seems to have sacrificed something, even if it's only her couch. And she's so often sleep-deprived, I worry a little about her patients. But Edie is loyal and tough and determined, and these are all characteristics you want in an urban fantasy hero, which she certainly is. In this book, Edie finds her mother has cancer, and Edie wants some vampire blood to cure her. But Edie's being shunned by the supernatural community. How's she going to get it? A loose plot point or two get tied up in this book, but other threads are left open. We can all look forward to what happens next."--New York Times bestselling author Charlaine Harris

Ok

Like the story but preferred the narrator from the first two books . Doesn’t pronounce words right and can’t tell what the characters attitude by the AI narrator

AI ruins

First and foremost, I have been reasonably enjoying the Edie Spence series. That, is why I attempted to excercise forbearance for the AI narrator. >_< *Big sigh*
Unfortunately, I was not saved from the grating issues of using A.I. The story suffers it's computer voice, making inaccurate as well as inconsistent pronunciation of names and words. There are also electronic skips or stumbles over sentences and, sometimes too long a pause between a word. Those are some of the most notable complaints of the A.I. for this audio book. Other typical complaints in general shared with other audio books, are the lack of having the reward of a voice putting literal "character" into those in a story. Primary examples are: language accents and emphasis to emotions in the dialogue. Tai Simmons, the audio voice for the first two Edie Spence books, made it pleasant to hear the the different change of accents from each characters dialogue. A definite win and preference to computer/monotone voice.
Just a little rant-review for anyone else interested or intending to continue the audiobook Edie Spence series.

The ai narrator

WHY DID YOY RUIN THE SERIES?! The voice is awful. She cannot pronounce correct words. I feel like Siri is talking to me nonstop. So sad.
