This was a fun, easy read with writing that doesn’t take itself too seriously. I liked the FMC’s inner thoughts and the omegaverse setup. The start felt a lot like Blood of Hercules, but it eventually found its own voice. The MMCs were intriguing, though I’m still unsure how the relationship dynamics will play out. The ending left me curious for the next book. A solid pick if you’re in the mood for something light, a little cringy, and entertaining.

Psycho Shifters by Jasmine Mas (Audiobook + New Edition)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Okay, so, Jasmine Mas did it again. I devoured the audiobook of Psycho Shifters and was instantly hooked from the growl-worthy first chapter to the unhinged, chaotic shifter drama that followed. If you loved Blood of Hercules (like I did), this is another reverse harem dream that does not disappoint. Sadie is amazing! She's the FMC with claws, trauma, and alpha energy that takes zero crap, and I loved every second of her rise. Jax, Cobra, and Ascher are each phenomenal and terrible in their own rights. The tension? The banter? The feral vibes? Chef’s. kiss.

Can we take a moment for the new edition dropping June 24? It. Is. STUNNING. I preordered it months ago just to display it and whisper sweet nothings to the cover. :) Haha!
Audiobook listeners, this one is so good! The narration adds so much grit and emotion. You’ll be pacing your kitchen, gasping mid-dishes, and wondering how fast you can get to book two.

Warning: You may experience uncontrollable grinning, aggressive bookmarking of spicy scenes, and a sudden need to challenge the local alpha.

Despite usually not liking reverse harem, being exceedingly picky with problematic
MMCs, and taking issue with the female main character being “not like other girls”, I could not put this down. Jasmine Mas has real talent for writing edible story lines that you can’t help but tear through like a bag of salty potato chips. It still needs a little tweaking and editing, and stylistically I would not necessarily call this style of prose unforgettable. That said, I found it to be a romp and unexpectedly enjoyable. This NEEDS to be marketed to the same circles that like the Zodiac Academy, I think it would find significant success there. Thank you!

I listened to this audiobook and it was so good! Mollie Stark, Jaime Lincoln Smith, Teddy Hamilton and Jeremy York did such a fantastic job. I love when each main character gets a narrator, it helps me differentiate between all the characters and it makes listening a lot more fun.

I really liked Sadie. I loved her inner monologue and how she was sarcastic. She was also very strong and independent. Sadie endured years of abuse. She knew what she had to do to survive and would get into a certain mindset when it came time for her training. I loved when she would prove the alpha males wrong. I knew she’d get a badass shifter form.

There are three alphas that Sadie has to room and train with, Jax, Ascher and Cobra. They each have their own personality and relationship with Sadie. I, personally, loved Jax the most. He was the one to warm up to Sadie the quickest and was very protective of her. As time went on, all the alpha males saw who Sadie truly was and it made them all become protective of her. They each have their own stories and backgrounds that I hope we get more into in the next book.

Overall, I really enjoyed this book. I am very excited to read the rest of this series, especially since this one ends with a cliffhanger. I would recommend it if you enjoy the omegaverse and shifters. If you’ve read Blood of Hercules, this does have a similar feel to it in the beginning. So, if you enjoyed that book, I’m sure you’d enjoy this one as well.

3.5 stars rounded up 4
2 out of five for spice

The setting in this story and the unique of the main characters were the things that grabbed me the most while reading. The realm was very cold and had a lot of medieval aspects but then would have bits of technology mostly from other realms, so a mix of old and new. The characters and the different alpha shifters were all so different, their appearance before and after they shifted were unique and fascinating, not to mention powers they have, very cool. Sadi has had a really tough and cruel start to life and while she might be the first female alpha, things do not get easier for her. I was just waiting for something to turn around for her, a break and just routing for her. Her appearance is so cool, the red eyes very intense and definitely goes along with her personality.
I did want some more world building and more information from the plot to be revealed, there were still too many things that were left hanging, plus the big cliffhanger at the end, I wanted a few more things a little wrapped up. I am still very interested about where the story and characters are going to go and will be picking up the second book in this fantasy shifter romance.
I received an ebook, via Netgalley. This review is my own honest opinion.

Thank you netgalley for the opportunity to read this book.

The book starts off with the FMC Sadie who is an orphan living with her sister under the rule of an abusive man named dick. Sadie is taken away and tested to see is she is a beta or a null by a mysterious person. She ends up at an academy to train because she is the first female Alpha. Sadie encounters many trials and troubles with the other hard headed Alphas.

This book had a potential to be very addicting and thrilling adventure. But unfortunately the syntax , plot holes, and immature writing style made this story hard to get through. The FMC was constantly stating how small and dainty she was. Also I found the use of calling women sluts constantly a little odd and uncalled for.

This took me a little bit to get into, but once I did I couldn't put it down! I loved the way Sadie kept fighting for herself despite everything she went through, and how despite the other alphas treating her like crap she just kept pushing them.

The relationships between them are layered and complex, but Sadie is so much more than any of them bargained for. Each alpha has something to offer, and she slowly starts to want each of them, but they've been holding back already without her knowing. I was not ready for that betrayal at the end, holy crap!

This book was such a great time. I am a big fan of Jasmine Mas after Blood of Hercules so when I saw this I was so excited. And it didn’t disappoint.

This story was crazy in the best way. A lot of twists and turns but the humor is were it is at. If there is one thing I love about Jasmine Max writing it the characters. Sadie is a strong willed, hilarious, badass main character. I loved her sassiness. And all of the Alphas are clearly defined characters with their own issues. While there isn’t as much spice and you would expect ( there is some MM action) I need to see where this series goes. While this book will not be everyone’s cup of tea , it is definitely mine.

This… started rough. The formatting was challenging, but once I got over that hump, the writing and syntax… left something to be desired. The writing was very immature and didn’t always follow the general rules of grammar, especially at the beginning. The main character is a bit immature, but that’s part of the story so no issue there. She’s feisty and sassy and the dialogue reflects that.

Once I pushed through the first quarter of the book, I actually started to enjoy the story. It seems very much like it’s going to be a why choose, which makes sense considering the content is shifters. The plot was interesting, with a couple of twists and turns. There’s a good bit of spice, but nothing too wild. Enough to keep the book steamy while proceeding with the plot.

The characters are… interesting. Sadie is immature and spicy, and the other alphas all have different personalities. I suspected something was amiss pretty early on, but the twist is pretty well done. I’m curious to see how the fae queen fits into this. One of those I’m not sure if I’ll read the rest of the series based on the writing, but I’m interested enough in the plot that I might.

All in all, this is a decently enjoyable plot but pretty immature writing, which is why it receives the 3⭐️ from me.

Okay. So.

Was this well written? No. Did the world building make sense? No. Was every female character outside of the FMC so two dimensional as to be almost offensive? Very much yes.

However.

Look, this book is silly, outlandish and exactly what it set out to be. For all its flaws (Ascher I’m begging you to know two words beyond princess and slut), it’s so damn addictive and honestly I had a fun time. Come for vibes and enjoy the ride. Would be great for an Emily Rath fan looking for more fantasy/paranormal.

Wow, just wow. I absolutely gobbled up this series. When I wasn't working, I was reading this book and the rest of the series in all of my free time. If you are a fan of Why Choose books, you MUST add this to your TBR. The plot was fun, adventurous, and really put the characters through the ringer. This series is kind of a slow burn, as the characters don't fully get together until the end. But still highly, highly recommend reading this!!

Ideal for readers who crave intense, emotionally charged fantasy romances with strong, complex female protagonists navigating power struggles and forbidden attractions in a high-stakes world.

This was a very fun and quick read. Shifters? Why Choose? MM? An air of mystery? This story had it all and it was fairly entertaining! We follow our girl Sadie who is stuck in a horrific living situation as a servant to an abusive beta, and all her life believes she's a null shifter (the lowest class that exists with no extraordinary abilities). Her only distinguishing features are her long platinum white hair, ruby red eyes, golden skin, and comparatively short stature. When she's randomly grabbed for testing one day, it turns out she is the first female alpha to exist. She's then brought against her will to a fortress called Portal 3 and comes face to face with three gorgeous, asshole shifters Jax, Cobra, and Ascher, who aim to make her life a living hell. I think the premise of the story was very interesting and had a lot of great ideas that made for a fun read. This type of book is very squarely within the genre that I truly enjoy but I think the execution fell a bit flat for me in terms of the writing and the character development. The writing was a bit juvenile and we just didn't get to spend enough time with the characters or have any real explanation to understand the dynamics of the main characters together. Why are the MMCs so against a female alpha? We know they think she might be a spy for the fae but we didn't really get much context or are shown why the fae queen is so evil to warrant the aggressive treatment of Sadie. I also think it was odd that the first of the 3 MMCs to pursue a sexual encounter with Sadie was Cobra given how he doesn't talk to women ever (except for Sadie). I would've thought he'd be one of the last to pursue her, as they were all attracted to her. Unfortunately, at the end of the day, I just didn’t feel a strong emotional attachment to any of the characters in this story to care enough about how their storylines progress. I do think readers who love romantasy, bully romance, and fast-paced stories will enjoy this book! Thank you to Netgalley, Harlequin Trade Publishing, and Canary Street Press for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.

I went into this book knowing only that there were shifters, omegaverse, and why-choose. That checked a lot of boxes for me. The story was so entertaining! I loved Sadie's humor and personality. With all that she went through in her life, it's shocking that she could even still joke.

I have so many theories running through my head about the characters and where the story is going. There's definitely more to what the alphas mean. Speaking of alphas, I like them all for Sadie. Their unique looks and personalities drew me in. I'm so glad this is a why choose series. I would hate for Sadie to have to only choose one. I can't wait to continue this series! It's so addictive. I finished this book too quickly. I highly recommend it!

This is a 4.75 for me rounded up. I really really enjoyed this book. I don't know what it is about Jasmine's writings, but I just zoom through them and can usually finish them in a day if I start them early enough. Her books are just such fun page turners that it's so easy to get lost in them. One thing you know when you are reading a Jasmine Mas book is that there will be sarcasm, banter and self-deprecating humor and all of which I love. So many of the lines and situations had me giggling like whenever Sadie tries to run and acts like it is torture because same, I hate running. I would say this is more bully than enemies to lovers though they certainly don't like one another or at least they like to think they don't, but all the MCs are drawn to one another in a way that shows they are just fighting their feelings so there is a lot of tension build up to go along with this being a slow burn. But anyone who doesn't love slow burns I would totally recommend this one because I think you will enjoy it because again the way Jasmine writes its doesn't feel like a long, drawn-out ordeal but rather it just fits best with the story and what is going on. Now this was actually a reread for me as I read this when it was indie published and I had just as much fun reading it now as I did then. Which shows me that this book and author are well on their way to being not just an auto buy author for me (which they already are) to also being one of my comfort authors/books.
Now for the characters you first have Sadie who has been abused her whole life, and you can see it not only on her body from the scars but also in the way her mind works. All she really thinks about was surviving and taking care of her sister and that was before her ALPHA designation revealed itself so rather than just trying to survive her abusive situation, she now has to survive literal monsters that she is expected to fight. While her alpha form is very powerful and up for the task her regular self.... let's just say it needs work, a lot of it. But thankfully she has the 3 MCs there to help and support her... sort of. I really enjoyed the MCs who are not only fighting their feelings for her but also 2 of the men are together as well. I loved all three for different reasons, but my favorite is as always, the more psychotic of the men which is Cobra who is also the shiniest and I also love shiny things. I am so excited to reread this series and fall back in love with these characters and even though I know what happens next, I am again excited to read the next book as this one leaves on a great cliff hanger.

This book is about Sadie who is an indentured servant just trying to survive as best as she can. She is abused by the man (Dick) who took her in and has been since she was a child. She is just trying to survive the next two years when her adopted sister will finally be home from school, and they can run away together. But one night during a violent confrontation with Dick another man breaks in and takes her to the mystical lake. This lake is used for testing people when they come of age to see if they are an Alpha, Beta, Omega or a Null. It is when this stranger test her blood in the lake that it is revealed that Sadie is an ALPHA! And not just any alpha but she is the first female alpha ever recorded. But that little fact doesn't save her from what happens next. Because alphas are immediately consigned to fight against the monsters that comes through the portals because alpha's have the special ability to shapeshift into powerful monsters capable of fighting back. With these results she is dumped at bootcamp where she comes under the care of the three other alphas that are in charge on this facility. These alphas are not just her trainers but her roommates as well and they are not what you would expect. As they as one is covered in tattoos, the other literally has jeweled skin and the other one has HORNS! But the one thing they have in common is that they are super powerful and super arrogant and they don't think she belongs because not only can she not fight but she also can't shift yet so she should just get out of the way and leave. But she is about to prove them wrong and when they hear her roar, she is going to make them eat their words.

I received an ARC copy in exchange for an honest review.

This book was so much fun! 🖤
Shifter romances and reverse harems?? 🥵 Yes please. The MM scenes were chef’s kiss and don’t even get me started on the tattoos and piercings 😏😏 if you know, you know.

It’s wild, sexy, and addictive—the perfect escape if you love spicy paranormal with power plays, possessive love interests, and badass female leads.

Well that was a fun ride. Having read Blood of Hercules previously, I had a notion of Jasmine Mas’ signature sarcastic humor to process dark themes in which the FMC seeks self-validation by her own worth while being heckled and prodded by morally gray men who are irrevocably attracted in a why choose fated mates kind of way. While Blood of Hercules uses Greek mythos as it’s foundation, Psycho Shifters uses a conglomeration of fantastic beings, primarily shifters and fae.

If you want a quick, fun, easy-world-to-dive-into read with humorous one-liners and frustrated alphas crumbling at the sight of a seemingly weak but resilient FMC? This is your book. Is it revolutionary? No. Is it a fun fucking time? Hell yeah. It does not take itself seriously, although even through the humor, there is a subtle commentary that you can relate to the current world.

I really wanna listen to this in the new audiobook format to see the performance, which probably will elevate the reading experience.

I could not put this one DOWN! It was incredible and I knew it would be with Jasmine and the set up of the world and the building and I just need more immediately. I can't believe it has taken me so long to find this series and so glad that it got picked up and will be in book stores everywhere to get more attention.

Thank you so much for the ARC for my honest review! I loved this so much! I'm left with so many questions! I will definitely recommend this book to my followers and will continue this series. I loved the fmc! I love Jasmine's writing style!

As a huge fan of Blood of Hercules by Jasmine Mas I just had to check out her other works! I did enjoy this book and it also leaves on an intense cliffhanger that leaves yo wanting to. know what happens next! I thought the humor throughout this book was so fun and added quite the touch of uniqueness to this book. There is a lot of death and pain throughout the book so if someone is looking for a lighthearted romantasy book this isn't the series/book for then.

I definitely had high expectations from blood of hercules and this did not disappoint! definitely another unhinged (in the best way!) read that left me wanting more and wanting to head to book 2 immediately! Definitely a fast paces book having you flip through the pages as well on the edge of your seat.
