The Morph — J.C. Andrijeski

“I, meaning me, Dakota Mayumi Reyes, was running, full-out, for my life.” Dakota Reyes, a PI who specializes in “hard-to-prosecute” cases, finds herself in a dark alley one night, about to end up dead at the hands of a young Ted Bundy in training… when a lost, shape-shifting alien named Nihkil rescues her. Then he accidentally takes her home with him. The problem is, Nik's home is in a different dimension, and Dakota has no clue how to get back to Seattle, or even Earth. THE GATE SHIFTER SERIES is an unusual shifter romance centering on shifters from another world altogether, called morph. Part detective series, part science fiction romance, the Gate Shifter series explores crime solving, interstellar warfare and alien romance with the least likely candidates imaginable.
