Review: Cataclysmic Shift

Cataclysmic Shift by Tara Lain
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was so excited to read the third book in this series and happy that Aloysius is getting his story. This is not a standalone book. You must read the first two for this one and the characters, their relationships to each other and other happenings to make sense. And all the main characters are back in this one.

As with the other stories, here again the gang is battling evil, this time in the form of witches from Europe. They want the source of Killian’s power and believe that Aloysius is that source. Hit by a blast of power trying to protect his witch, Aloysius is knocked unconscious. Scared, Killian and Blaine decide to take him to a vet Blaine knows. As he shows Killian and Blaine out, he reassures them that he will do what he can, but he can’t figure out or find anything that is physically wrong with Aloysius. In the back where Luke left him, Aloysius wakes up and he’s human. With little memory of his past. He’s also naked and surrounded by animals. His name though he remembers, it’s Alain Bellarose.

Luke is drawn to Alain. While he has spent a very long time hiding and not involving himself with people, he can’t seem to help it with Alain. Alain seems to be everything he didn’t know he was looking for. They both fall hard and fast for each other.

There are many twist and turns in this book. Luke has a hidden past that gets exposed on accident by Alain. Alain is torn by his need to protect Killian and the others. With no memory of his relationship with them, he doesn’t understand why. Then there is his need to protect Luke as well. Add in evil witches and magic fights, it’s an exciting ride through the pages.

What a wonderful way the author weaved this tale. You are both wanting and hoping for Alain and Luke to get their happy ever after. Yet at the same time you understand that for them to get it, there is a great sacrifice on the part of others. You do and don’t want the sacrifice to be made. The ending is as it should be and will make you very happy.

I received an ARC from the author in exchange for an honest review
