SYNOPSIS
When his family is threatened, a shifter must choose between high school and a life of crime.
For the past six hundred years the Byrd family members have been shifters with avian powers. Seventeen-year-old Rolf is the only Byrd who transforms into a dog. Rolf knows that when his mom looks at him, all she sees is a mutant, but Rolf has plans for his future that go beyond shifting.
Rolf is using senior year to shoot Desperate Dawn, a film that he hopes will win him a prestigious scholarship to the University of Southern California. If Rolf can convince Summer Hathaway to be his leading lady, heâll be golden. But when Rolf finds twenty dead ravens on his porch, shifter problems show up at his door.
Snake bites, wild coyotes, and drive-by shootingsâRolfâs neighborhood suddenly becomes a deadly place to be. Summerâs douchebag boyfriend makes it worse, especially when he attacks Rolfâs sister. Rolf will do anything to protect the people he loves, even if it means giving up on his dreams. Hopefully, he wonât have to.
Shoot the film. Get the girl. Save his family. Itâs a good thing that Rolf can fight like a dog.


EXCLUSIVE RELEASE EXCERPT
Shifting was in my blood. My father was a shifter, just like his father before him. They were bird shifters, but I was canine. I could transform into any dog I wantedâalmost any dog, that is. Iâd never mastered a large breed like a St. Bernard or Great Dane. Granddad thought that was because as a human, I was five feet, five inchesâthe shortest guy in my high school. But I didnât need to become a big animal to protect my sister.
Hounds were my favorite breeds to shift into because they allowed me to look for things that other people couldnât see. My nose smashed against the sidewalk. Something about Doryâs shoes smelled delicious. I sniffed around the bottom of her sandals and discovered a tiny morsel of dried-up pizza.
âYou donât need to be a drug-sniffing beagle.â Dory nudged me away with her toe. âLenox doesnât do shit like that. Pick something else that wonât be so obvious.â
I closed my eyes, took a deep whiff of the night air, and shifted into something smaller.
âA pocket beagle?â Dory crossed her arms. âThe dealâs off. Find yourself a new wardrobe assistant because Iâd rather miss the party then show up withââ
âHey, Dory,â said a friendly voice. âCute dog.â
A slim brunette in a skirt and cowboy boots walked up to us. It was Rain Hathaway, who had the good fortune to be the younger sister of Summer Hathaway, the girl I was going to marry.
âHi, Rain.â Dory plastered a smile on her face and fiddled with the tassel on her purse. âIs that your Lexus?â
âI wish. Itâs my momâs. Iâm staying at her house this weekend.â Rain smelled like Tide Pods and soy sauce. She bent down on the pavement. âIs it okay if I pet your dog?â
âSure,â Dory said in a higher-than-normal voice.
âWhat a cutie.â Rain held her hand up to my nose so I could sniff it. Now that she was closer, I smelled other things on her too. Sheâd eaten tuna rolls for dinner, followed by a Dr. Pepper. Her momâs Lexus was relatively new and still off-gassing chemicals.
I nuzzled Rainâs hand and sniffed deeper. There was a dog at her house, a female Shih Tzu. As Rain ran her hand down my back, I closed my eyes, enjoying the massage. My tail wagged. I couldnât help it. She scratched me behind the ears and I groaned. I looked up at Rain with my puppy-dog eyes, and she giggled.
âYour dog is adorable,â she said. âIâve never seen a beagle so small before. Whatâs his name?â
âTrouble.â Dory glared down at me. âHis name is Trouble because he is a pain in the ass.â
