The Stories
This was a fascinating read as it fills in all sorts of holes in this series.
“Infusion” begins with Jeremy’s conception and birth and continues on through his ordeals with his father, Malcolm.
In “Savage“, we learn how Clay turns shapeshifter and, with Jeremy’s rescue of Clay from the bayous of Louisiana, we discover a great deal more about how life works in a shapeshifter enclave.
“Ascension” sets the scene for Malcolm and Jeremy’s battle to become Alpha when Dominic dies.
In “Kitsunegari“, Jeremy encounters his mother’s side of the family. I haven’t yet read Frost Bitten or Waking the Witch yet, so I don’t know if it falls before or after either of these as it falls six years after Jeremy begins seeing Jaime.
