great series

book 4 tours up some of the loose threads from books 2 and 3. the story is expertly weaved and absorbing. surprised by the new narrator but quickly got used to her and she read well.

A good listen

The story is engaging and there weren't any points where I felt like it dragged. Though, I feel like Dax's sickness should have been spread throughout the first half of the story, instead of introduced and resolved right at the start.
Ali Sparks is an alright narrator, certainly easier to listen to than some other book narrators. But in this book, she goes too fast, not leaving enough time between paragraphs and page breaks, making them feel like they're all part of the same sentence in some parts. Though, she thankfully gets better in later books.

Brilliant story

What a great series from Ali Sparkes and I enjoyed it as much as the kids. Good storyline, great characters and good narration.

My favourite series

Ali sparkes is honestly my favourite and has been since I was 12 so I will never not love these. I do love how she manages to connect her other books like tyrone. I would love to see how more of the novels connect too. I hope Ali sparkes makes the audiobook for feather and fang and writes me like 80 more shapeshifter books thank-you

Another great addition to the series

Absolutely love Ali’s books! This one is probably the favourite of the shapeshifter series. You get some wholesome Dax & Owen content, some of Mia’s later plot being foreshadowed here and of course Lisa being the brat we all love as usual. Some great use of the spirit world also spices things up. All in all, great character development and fast paced plot. Just be aware of the shift in narrator so you’re not surprised when you purchase, but regardless I thought Ali did a great job with the narration so not a bad change! :)

Ali Sparked is my new favourite author

The sharpshooter series is amazing although I would not recommend it to children under 8

Good but

I loved the story but I preferred the first voice actor, I feel he probably embodied the characters better. Other than that, awesome book, I loved it!

Noooo! Author's shouldn't natate their own books.

Totally ruined by the author's monotone stilted narration. I loves the first three books in the series and was eager to continue the story. The first narrator was a bit odd but put up with it for the brilliant stories and characters.

From book four onwards however the author has decided to narrate. HUGE mistake, it was so lacking in acting ability it completely ruined it. I really tried to cope with it, and managed about five chapters before I returned it with a heavy heart. Really, really disappointed.

Note to all authors: Narrating is a very specialised skill, hire those that can do it. I understand you're passionate about your books but please don't risk spoiling them by doing the narration yourself!

Why the change of narrator?

I loved the initial shapeshifter books, and when purchasing book 4, I didn’t even bother the sample it.
So it was quite a frustrating realisation that Ali Sparkes is now reading her own books.
A good author unfortunately isn’t automatically a pleasant reader and changing it is not great!

I haven’t been able to finish it, I am not enjoying her voice and am thinking of returning it
