Shifting Again is a collection of stories by several of Torquere Press’s finest writers. There are eight stories in all and each story focuses on some type of shapeshifter.

Alpha by BA Tortuga

This story is about two werewolves who make a pack together only to be torn apart by an imagined betrayal. When Roman drives Cage off and then realizes he was wrong, he must woo his lover into trusting him again.  

Each story in Shifting Again is a small look at the talent of its authors. My favorite story is Alpha by BA Tortuga. I felt Cage’s pain and loss when Roman turned on him. My least favorite story is Hide by Cat Zheng. I found it to be very confusing and I had to re-read the story twice before it made sense to me. Despite my confusion over Hide, on the whole, Shifting Again is a collection of stories that is very enjoyable and I do recommend it.
