The Night Shifters
Genre: Paranormal/Urban Fantasy, Paranormal Fiction Read an Excerpt | Message from the Author
In The Night Shifters Devenport crafts an unusual paranormal tale with just a dash of romance. At the beginning of the story, Hazel's disinterest in the "real" world may at times frustrate readers, however, over the course of the novel the heroine evolves in ways that are both unexpected and heart-warming. Much of this story is centered on the dreamworld that Hazel explores, and Devenport's creativity shines with each new element that Hazel encounters. Although there are some plot points and dialogue that could have been more tight, Devenport is an author to watch and The Night Shifters will stay with readers long after they have turned the last page. Hazel loves to dream. She would rather be asleep having fantastic adventures than focus on anything in the waking world. So when the sun doesn't rise one morning, Hazel is not upset. In fact, she is more than ready to go back to her dreaming when she discovers a list of instructions that have mysteriously appeared on her kitchen table. What Hazel doesn't know is that these instructions will lead her down a very dangerous path into a territorial war between the demi-gods of her dreamworld. Will Hazel be able to navigate the destructive forces of the gods or will she become trapped in her dreams forever?
