Confrontations are real, urgent, and with consequences. I can see, hear, feel, and smell what’s happening. This story is an escape from my daily life *because* of those details. I have to point out that I love Emmy’s attention to details. Just come along for the ride and let it all unfold. Emmy Jackson’s stories take twisty turning paths that are as complex as his characters. I’m not going to attempt a simplistic summing up of the plot, since that’s impossible. If you have, you’ll be in familiar territory, but with the new experience of joining up with the circus as it travels around the country. Hopefully you’ve already read book one in the Empty Cradle series, The Untimely Death of Corey Sanderson. But for reasons that will become clear (I love saying that phrase), where ever Shiloh goes, Kissel follows. Everything that Shiloh is? He’s the opposite. She prefers her food to be cooked, her bed to be soft and sheet-clad, and the men she frequently brings to that bed to be quite human. She hasn’t shifted since she was a kitten. Meet Shiloh, the star of Gallamore’s Traveling Extravaganza. And of course they’re more at home in their animal form than as a human, right? If you’re about to read Shiloh in the Circle, do yourself a favor and toss those preconceived shifter-notions out the window. Most of the books I’ve read that deal with shapeshifters present their shifters as uniformly confident, enigmatic, powerful, near-perfect creatures. Empty Cradle: Shiloh in the Circle by Emmy Jackson
