Alpha Instinct

Alpha Instinct (Moon Shifter, #1)
by Katie Reus

Fear has a scent. So does desire…

Ana Cordona has been a strong leader for the lupine shifters who survived after all the males and most of the females in her pack were mysteriously poisoned. As tough as she is, with no Alpha male, the pack is vulnerable to the devious shifter Taggart, who wants to claim both their ranch and Ana as his own. When Connor Armstrong comes back into her life, promising protection, it’s almost enough to make Ana forget how he walked out on her before—and reluctantly accept his offer to mate.

The minute Connor sees Ana again, it reawakens a raw hunger. He must have her for his bondmate—his wolf cries out for it. But his human side knows he must proceed with caution because of their complicated past. If he is to truly have her body and soul, he must go beyond his burning desire and win back her heart. Whatever it takes, he is determined not to leave her side again.

But Taggart and his rival pack are not their only enemies. A human element in town is targeting shifters. Their plan not only threatens Ana and Connor’s future, but the lives of the entire pack

The Pack were poisoned and all the males died. Ana doesn't know who poisoned them.

Sean Taggart wants to take over the pack and be the Alpha. Right away at the beginning of the book you can see how cocky he is.

I find it interesting that the shifters in the book have such a long lifespan. Also shifters aren't the only think living among the human. When the shifters came out to the public the vampires did too.

Not only is ana dealing with Sean Taggart, there is also Connor who wants to be the Alpha of the pack and there is the person who poisoned the pack and there is also the Antiparanormal League.

It almost seemed like there was too much going on in one book. There were so many things going on at once. One conflict would have been enough.

The book was good and I will most likely read book two when it comes out.


This book is in stores 2/7 and I suggest that if you like books about shifters that you read this book.

I received this book before release date for free through Goodreads First Reads.
