Honestly I almost never read books with shifters, etc. The cover and the fact that there is a dog involved got me to get it!! What a darling, clean book this is! It was so good I actually went in and bought the 2nd in the series!
Lily Mason decided to leave the only place she ever knew--her parents had been murdered--and then so was her brother. She discovered that she had an uncle who lived in Moonrise--so off she went.
She got there and her car needed fixing. She left it at the garage in town and starting walking. She would need a place to live, a job and most importantly would have to learn how to hide that she was a shape shifter.
She left her car and started crossing the street---when suddenly she was pushed--by a big dog. She would have been run over-but the dog saved her life. She ended up adopting him!! What a big love bug that dog is--you are going to LOVE him! Of course she meets the guy who was walking him, or trying to catch up with him--the chemistry was immediate-but they kind of ignored it. He found out that she had no place to live and offered an apartment above the garage. He ran an animal shelter.
Plenty goes on--murder and mayhem. You will not stop reading this one until the end and like me will more then likely want to keep reading this series!
About the Book: (from Amazon)
When cougar-shifter Lily Mason moves to Moonrise, Missouri, she wishes for only three things from the town and its human population. . . to find a job, to find a place to live, and to live as a human, not a therianthrope.
Lily gets more than she bargains for when a rescue pit bull named Smooshie rescues her from an oncoming car, and it’s love at first sight. Thanks to Smooshie, Lily’s first two wishes are granted by Parker Knowles, the owner of the Pit Bull Rescue center, who offers her a job at the shelter and the room over his garage for rent.
Lily’s new life as an integrator is threatened when Smooshie finds Katherine Kapersky, the local church choir leader and head of the town council, dead in the field behind the rescue center. Unfortunately, there are more suspects than mourners for the elderly town leader. Can Lily keep her less-than-human status under wraps? Or will the killer, who has pulled off a nearly Pit Perfect murder, expose her to keep Lily and her dog from digging up the truth?
Fall in love with Lily Mason, the shifter who only wants to live as a human, and her pit bull Smooshie, a rescue dog who in the end may be the one doing the rescuing!

USA Today Bestselling author Renee George writes paranormal mysteries and romances because she loves all things whodunit, Otherworldly, and weird. Also, she wishes her pittie, the adorable Kona Princess Warrior, and her beagle, Josie the Incontinent Princess, could talk. Or at least be more like Scooby-Doo and help her unmask villains at the haunted house up the street.
When she's not writing about mystery-solving werecougars or the adventures of a hapless psychic living among shapeshifters, she is preyed upon by stray kittens who end up living in her house because she can't say no to those sweet, furry faces. (Someone stop telling them where she lives!)
She resides in Mid-Missouri with her family and spends her non-writing time doing really cool stuff...like watching TV and cleaning up dog poop.
Author Note: For readers who have enjoyed reading my books and taken the time to share their love in reviews, thank you so much! I can't tell you how much it means to me to know my work is valued.
