When eighteen-year-old Chance Morgan kills another shapeshifter to save his girlfriend, Ana Hughes, he contracts a dangerous shapeshifting sickness that makes him crave power uncontrollably — and without restraint he’s a threat to the person he loves most. Desperate to keep Ana safe from harm and to find a cure for himself, he abandons her in the Yucatan and escapes into the wilderness. Violent memories and voices surface in his head, creating a dangerous tug-of-war between good and evil.

Companionless and alone, Ana meets a woman who claims to have the same shapeshifting and healing abilities as her and vows to teach Ana the skills to help Chance, but as weeks pass she begins to question if her new mentor truly intends to keep her promise.

With time running out, Ana must find the power within herself to heal Chance before he loses his battle against the powerful voices inside his head.

Set apart from other eighteen year old, Ana Hughes knows she is different. A life threatening heart condition smothers her future and she yearns to feel normal. Her hopes are pinned on a fresh start in a remote town far from her native Colorado. Among the locker filled hallways in Clark Bend High, Ana keeps to the shadows, not wanting to draw attention to her violet tinged lips and wilted silhouette. And she almost succeeds, until she meets Chance Morgan.

Struggling to keep up appearances, she soon suspects Chance is hiding something as well. His animal-like senses, miraculous healing ability and peculiar reaction to her Thunderbird necklace compels Ana to question if there’s more to the stories about his Navajo ancestry. Without any other explanation, she fears he is playing tricks on her. But the truth may prove too much for Ana’s delicate heart…

My impression:
Finally, I finished this book. I bought it 5 months ago from Amazon, and weeks later I started to read it on my Kindle. I can say that this is very interesting book. I remember when I found it, I read an excerpt and since then I wanted to buy it, but I wasn’t able to. Then why it took me so much time to finish it? I think because it’s Kindle edition, and believe me – I don’t like reading through my phone. Other thing is that I was able to read only during 20 minutes breaks while at work.

On the book. This is not traditional book about vampires, shifters or anything like this. Yes, it’s about shifters, but not in the traditional ways I used to meet them in other books. It’s totally new way of representation. Of course, there is that “usual” things like “normal” girl likes the bad boy and happily he loves her too. And of course, he have a secret and etcetera…

I like the way in which Natasha Brown write. I like how she describe the nature and I like that way of writing conversations. It’s easy to read and don’t let you get bored.

I do recommend this book. It’s the first one from this series. There is two more books released since now, and I’m planning to buy and read them some time soon. And you can start reading too, as “Fledgling” is still free to buy from Amazon!

General note: 7/10
