‘Putting Down Roots’ had me charmed from the beginning. The title alone is intriguing, the characters are interesting, and while I guessed what was going to happen pretty early on, the lyrical writing and beautiful descriptions kept me interested until the very end. I have a feeling the author wanted this to be slightly creepy, but I just couldn’t see that. Yes, these are unusual shifters, but the dangers they face are unique and the way they live their lives is so different from what I am used to from other shifter stories, that about the only thing I wished for was for this story to be longer. Don’t get me wrong, it is perfect the way it is, but sometimes when something great comes along, I can’t but help to want more f it. I guess I am greedy.

If you’re looking for an unusual paranormal read with a touch of mystery and a great ending, then I can recommend this short story. It’s very memorable.
