Shapeshifter seeks new shaman for his family. He finds Sophie, a former victim of domestic abuse, when her friend is killed at a night club. Good story from Saintcrow. 3 stars
Set in Lilith Saintcrow's favorite place, Jericho City, Taken doesn't require that you've read any of her other books to follow the story. This story has stayed with me since I finished the book, it was more than a were-creature and vampire story. The abused wife plotline was sensitively handled, with the lingering effects of the trauma explained and worked through. Not your typical romance, it has depth and tarnished characters.
