Shifter City Hero

An Urban Fantasy Adventure (A Lion's Pride, Book 1)

By: Shane Hammond

Narrated by: Jude Erin, Rhys David

Become a shifter. Build my pride. Be the leader these people need.

I’ve always known I was different. There’s a beast inside me, clawing to get free—and it finally breaks loose when I return to Thornveil City, a magic-soaked metropolis crawling with shifters.

Soon, I’m teamed up with a razor-sharp wolfgirl whose bite is much deadlier than her bark, and we have one mission: protect a dangerously-gorgeous kitsune heiress from those evil creatures who want her magic for their own twisted ends.

Our enemies are ruthless. The stakes are sky-high. And I’m the last one standing between Thornveil and total oblivion.

This city needs a hero—and I’m going to give them one.

Fantastic New Series

All in all it was a very enjoyable listen. I really liked the intrigue throughout the daily life of the protagonist.

Wow I'm loving the story and build up.

If you like series like Dragons Justice you will love this book. The older character eas a nice change along with being a parent. The story and narration are amazing and well done. Definitely can't wait for book 2.

loved it.

I had really hoped he'd come into his shifter power earlier but other than that I loved it, relationships developed great, powers and strength developed great, the VA was great. loved it.

Fantastic First Book in Series

Wonderful start to a new series. The MC felt like a realistic figure with tough choices to make that could affect his family and friends. The love interests were all great and you can tell Alex has a few women who are harboring feelings for him and are moving into position to join his pride. Nice ending as well to setup book 2!

Don’t believe it until you read it!

This book is a great first installment in a new series. I’m looking forward to reading/listening to more in this world. I think the characters and story are well developed. I like the touch that the MC already has a child. It really makes him have more to lose.
