If you are looking for a fresh and original take on the shapeshifter genre, you might want to check out Where Shifters Meet for Drinks by Ioana Visan. This book is a collection of seven short stories that explore the lives and conflicts of two shifter clans: the were-eagles and the mutts. The were-eagles are more like crows, while the mutts are more like dogs. They have been at war for decades, ever since they moved into the same city and competed for resources and territory.
The stories are told from different perspectives, such as the Mayor, who is trying to keep the peace and protect the citizens; the intruders, who are looking for a new home or a new identity; the humans, who are caught in the middle of the shifter drama; and the shifters themselves, who have to deal with their own problems and secrets. The stories are connected by the Blue Moon Café, a neutral ground where shifters meet for drinks and socialize.
The book is a mix of humor, action, mystery, and romance. The author creates a vivid and realistic world, where shapeshifters have to adapt to the modern society and face the challenges of being different. The characters are well-developed and relatable, each with their own personality and voice. The plots are engaging and unpredictable, with twists and surprises that keep the reader hooked.
The book is also a great example of how to write short stories that are satisfying and complete. Each story has a clear beginning, middle, and end, with a satisfying resolution and a connection to the overall theme. The stories are also varied in tone and style, ranging from light-hearted and humorous to dark and suspenseful. The author shows a great skill in crafting short stories that are both entertaining and meaningful.
