Psycho Shifters (Cruel Shifterverse Book 1) by Jasmine Mas

Emoji Review by Rebecca Dixon

I just read โ€˜Psycho Shifters,โ€™ Cruel Shifterverse Book 1 by Jasmine Mas and it is FREAKING INCREDIBLE ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿปโ€ฆ MIND BLOWN ๐Ÿคฏ โ€ฆ this is my latest OBSESSION โค๏ธ! (FYI, Iโ€™m not affiliated with the author, not in the book biz, reading is just a HOBBY, and Iโ€™m just a regular reader that is super passionate ๐Ÿ’—about spreading the word on GREAT books!) There are NO spoilers ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป!

Guyssssssโ€ฆ. thisโ€ฆ bookโ€ฆ. IS โ€ฆ. AMAZING ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿคฉ. OK! So Iโ€™m gonna be HONEST โœŒ๐Ÿป hereโ€ฆ even though itโ€™s ONLY been out on Amazon for a FEW days, Iโ€™ve scrolled past it a few times because Iโ€™m NOT an omegaverse person ๐Ÿ˜ข. But the fact that this was labeled โ€œshifterverse,โ€ that it has a COOL ๐Ÿ˜Ž cover, and that it has over 500 ratings w/nearly 5 stars โญ๏ธ โญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ in just a matter of days since it was releasedโ€ฆ I thought, OK โœ… let me give this a shot! It’s FREE on KUโ€ฆright ๐Ÿ˜?! Canโ€™t hurt ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ! Welp! I am SO GLAD ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป that I DID because this book was EVERYTHING that I could want and THEN some! ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿฅณ Seriously!!!! Gah, SO GOOD ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป! I need BOOK 2 NOW! ๐Ÿ˜ฉ๐Ÿ˜ฉ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

OK ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿป! So it starts off with a FMC that lives in a SHIFTER realm ๐ŸŒŽ! She is 10 years old, an indentured โ›“ servant, abused TERRIBLY by her caretaker ๐Ÿ˜ญ, has a little sis ๐Ÿ‘ง that she protects FIERCELY, and is assumed to be a โ€œnull.โ€ In a realm where shifters are alphas, betas, omegas, or nullsโ€ฆ a NULL is pretty much the shortest end of the stick โ˜น๏ธ! Fast forward ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ 10 years and she is RIGHT AT THE AGE where she can be tested to see what she truly is ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป! And oh boy ๐Ÿฅณ! This little small bodied, tiny spitfire ๐Ÿ”ฅ, who’s literally been to HELL and back, might surprise the HECK out of everyone! Itโ€™s a BRUTAL ๐Ÿ˜ , COLD ๐Ÿฅถ world where only the STRONGEST ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป shifters are protectors of the portals to the Fae Realm! Our girl soon finds herself next to 3 HOT ๐Ÿฅต ALPHA PROTECTORS and lets just sayโ€ฆ everything that comes after is not what I thought it would be! ๐Ÿ˜ฒ๐Ÿ˜ฒ๐Ÿ˜ฒ

So this is an enemies ๐Ÿฅท -to-lovers ๐Ÿ’˜ RH (Reverse Harem) and it is a SLOW burn that is SUPER HOT ๐Ÿฅต ๐Ÿ† ๐ŸŒถ! Like SIZZLING ๐Ÿ”ฅ! The story is categorized as bisexual and thatโ€™s because the men of her harem, who she thinks are INSANELY gorgeous ๐Ÿฅต, do in fact notice that EACH OTHER are INSANELY gorgeous ๐Ÿ‘€ ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ†๐Ÿ†๐Ÿ† ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿฅต๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜‚! But these guys are also SUPER PROTECTIVE ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป of our girl and YET!โ€ฆ complete AS$HATS to her at the same time โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿ”ฅโค๏ธโ€๐Ÿ”ฅโค๏ธโ€๐Ÿ”ฅ (donโ€™t worry, by the end of the book we understand why ๐Ÿฅณ!) The conflicting messages from these guys is actually absolutely ADDICTING andโ€ฆ I LOVE THEM ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜! Each guy has his own unique personality (and unique look ๐Ÿ‘€ to be fair!) and we actually get POVs from each! Which to be fair, made me LOVE each of them even MORE! ๐Ÿ’˜๐Ÿ’˜๐Ÿ’˜

But the reason the enemie-to-lovers works soooooo wellllll โ€ฆ. is because our girl is FIERCE ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿป ๐Ÿคบ! SHE IS AMAZING ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป! She fights HARD ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿป and when she is on her LAST leg, she fights EVEN HARDER ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿป! And she is FUNNY ๐Ÿ˜‚! She has lived her WHOLE life looking out for herself (because no one else has ๐Ÿ˜ข๐Ÿ˜ข๐Ÿ˜ข) โ€ฆ and this chick knows how to ROLL with the punches ๐Ÿคœ๐Ÿป and PUNCH BACK ๐ŸฅŠ ! MAN I just love her. LOVE HER โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ! And she STAYS this way too ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป! THE ENTIRE BOOK ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿฅณ! Yessssssssss ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป โ€ฆ soooooo FANTASTIC ๐Ÿคฉ! Honeslty, that’s one of my biggest beef’s with omegaverse is the FMC’s lose that fierce sassiness โ€ฆ and THANK YOU ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป TO THIS AUTHOR that โ€ฆ THAT DID NOT HAPPEN! Woot ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป Woot ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป! Ohhhhh and when we find out what she shifts intoโ€ฆ. can I say HELL YES ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป!!!! I kept thinkingโ€ฆ it HAS to be good, it HAS to be good, it HAS to be goodโ€ฆ and YES! IT IS BADA$S! ๐Ÿคบ๐Ÿฅท๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿป๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป (And super freaking UNIQUEโ€ฆ I can only think of ONE shifter that shifts into this of ALL the series I’ve readโ€ฆ hint hint.. Kate Daniels!)

And the story itself is sooooo goooood ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜! Such a cool, UNIQUE concept AND itโ€™s got one hell of a TWIST ๐ŸŒช! I did not SEE ๐Ÿ‘€ this coming and honestly, I sort of have a knack for sniffing ๐Ÿ‘ƒ๐Ÿป out twists ๐Ÿ˜…โ€ฆ so this SHOCKED ๐Ÿ˜ณ me! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ Not only were there TWISTS ๐ŸŒช and TURNS โ†ฉ๏ธ , but this was actually quite high FANTASY with great ACTION ๐Ÿคผ! Also, if you arenโ€™t into omegaverseโ€ฆ NO WORRIES ๐Ÿ˜‰โ€ฆ this first book is only SLIGHT omegaverse! It differs from traditional omegaverse in several ways actually! But the primary way is that the FMC is extremely DOMINANT ๐Ÿคบ, INDEPENDENT ๐Ÿฅท, and STRONG ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป โ€ฆ and GET THIS!!!! SHE. STAYS. THAT. WAY. ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿฅณ The alphas canโ€™t persuade her into anything ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป! Freaking LOVED it ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป!

And!! AND!!! Thereโ€™s more!!!!! This author has a heck of a KNACK for DRAMA ๐ŸŽญ! There were NO missed opportunities in this book ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป! Not ONE moment where I was likeโ€ฆ dannnng if only this happened ๐Ÿ™„! NOPE! She lead us on this AMAZING ride and totally knew how to throw in the DRAMA at just the RIGHT ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป moments! SO. WELL. DONE. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป Yโ€™all know I loooooove good DRAMATIC moments โ€ฆ and this book was sooooo FANTASTIC with them ๐Ÿฅณ! I even teared up at one part and was like OMG ๐Ÿ˜ฒ OMG ๐Ÿ˜ฒ OMG ๐Ÿ˜ฒโ€ฆ he has SEEN ๐Ÿ‘€ THEM now ๐Ÿฅบ๐Ÿฅบ๐Ÿฅบ!!! Oh my goodness, my HEART went to MUSH ๐Ÿ’”! The way he CRADLED her ๐Ÿฅบ๐Ÿฅบ๐Ÿฅบ. If you have been following the authorโ€™s BookToks, you may have any idea ๐Ÿ’ก what Iโ€™m referring to! I am a SUCKER for a FMC that has a TOUGH ๐Ÿ˜ญ past, but is STRONGER than all get out & is a SURVIVOR! And this girl definitely is! Like she legit is everything I hoped for ๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’—!

Seriouslyโ€ฆ I canโ€™t say it ENOUGHโ€ฆ I FORSEE this one being the NEXT BIG THING everyone is talking about! ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป This author is a newbie! This is her very FIRST book ๐Ÿ˜ฒ! And sheโ€™s hit a homerun on the very first try ๐Ÿ˜ฒ! Unbelievable ๐Ÿ˜ต! I am HOOKED ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป! I need book 2 now ๐Ÿ˜ฉ๐Ÿ˜ฉ๐Ÿ˜ฉ! Not gonna lieโ€ฆ this is up there as one of my all time favorite RHs ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ˜ณ! THEMS some BIG shoes ๐Ÿ‘  to fill, yโ€™all! Itโ€™s up there with the BEST ๐Ÿ†! I could literally read this book againโ€ฆright now! (Like seriously thinking about it ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ˜‚!)

NOW! All that being said! REMEMBER I said at the beginning Iโ€™m not into omegaverse?!? This book DOES have some of those themes, but they are soooooo minor ๐Ÿค๐Ÿป, it really should NOT sway you to not give this a shot if you are like me in that regard! BUT ๐Ÿคš๐Ÿป! I have to give a DISCLAIMER โš ๏ธ โ€ฆ Book 2 is NOT out yet and I obviously donโ€™t know what the future ๐Ÿ”ฎ will hold as far as omegaverse goes! But I CAN say this book is FREAKING FANTASTIC ๐Ÿคฉ and I LOVED every single sentence of it! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

So if you love enemies ๐Ÿฅท-to-lovers ๐Ÿ’˜ with SLOW burn ๐Ÿ”ฅ, some freaking HOT ๐Ÿฅต scenes that arenโ€™t too much in quantity (but are some M/M ๐Ÿ†,) you are opened to trying a RH (psssstโ€ฆthis is a GREAT ๐Ÿคฉ ONE to try!,) you love STRONG ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป FMCs who STAY STRONG ๐Ÿฅณ, you LOVE a plotline that is super different, high fantasy, with cool of TWISTS ๐ŸŒช and TURNS โ†ฉ๏ธ โ€ฆ and is NOT your normal shiftersโ€ฆ give this a shot! Itโ€™s free on KU and you never knowโ€ฆ you may be 200% PYSCHO about it (like I am ๐Ÿ™‹๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜!)
