🌟 4/5 Stars – A Wild Ride Through the Shifterverse

Psycho Shifters is a journey into a world where shifters reign and chaos is the norm. The multiple narrators and shifting POVs of this audio add a dynamic layer to the storytelling, keeping me engaged throughout. If you enjoyed Blood of Hercules, this book offers a similarly unhinged adventure, swapping gods for shifters.

The FMC is not standout, typical 20 year old that's special, but it was fun. This is a guilty pleasure and most definitely a dark fantasy, I didn't take it too seriously. I found myself eager to see where the story would lead. The narrative's intensity and the complex relationships between characters kept me hooked, and I'm looking forward to diving into book 2.

Pretty wild and crazy and spicy - everything the description said. It's clearly the first in a series and there are a lot of unanswered questions that will, hopefully, be answered as the series continues. It was a great start!

Oh this was excellent! The tension, the badass FMC, THE MEN! I loved every single thing about this book and could not put it down! This is paranormal why choose at its finest!

Thank you for the ARC copy! I had actually already read this series on Kindle Unlimited a long time ago. So long that I forgot I had ever read it and had to go back and look. This was literally such a fun read.

unfortunately this book continues to be mysoginistic, transphobic and feeds into the stigma around mental illness. I absolutely do not recommend it. I thought it would have been reworked but I guess not! the writing was just so bad. the characters are unlikable and two dimensional and predictable and misogynist and boring at best.

Psycho Shifters is a story about Sadie, a servant girl who doesn’t believe herself to be much of anything in the world. Suffering from abuse by a man that took her and her sister in when they were kids, she becomes a numb and violent adult. Until the day that she is taken to the sacred lake, and is determined to be the first female Alpha. Forced to join an Alpha training camp, she faces the three other male Alphas who don’t believe that she is untrained.

This was a quick read, with an interesting enough plot but I found it severely lacking where the characters come in to play. Each character is severely underdeveloped, and frankly, are terrible. Usually I enjoy at the very least one character in a story, but I didn’t enjoy any of them. They are all assholes, including our main character Sadie who is “not like the other girls”. I also was quickly over the fact that her “small, weak” size was constantly mentioned paired with how big and muscly the male alphas were. And that they kept calling her a “little girl” or “little alpha”.

Overall, this one was just not for me. I am definitely interested in where the plot goes with the fae queen and the betrayal at the end of the book, but not enough to continue with the series.

Thank you to Jasmin Mas, Harlequin Trade Publishing | Canary Street Press and NetGalley for the early E-Arc of Psycho Shifters, available at the end of June!

The premise is intriguing, there's a lot of world building to be expanded upon, and a lot of character development to be seen. Overall I liked Sadie and the big reveal of who her bestie actually is and what they're not caught me off guard and was an unexpected reveal. I was very surprised at how slow the burn is for a RH book. Overall I'm left with a lot of questions but my interest is piqued and I'll definitely continue with the series.

Thank you so much for the opportunity to read an ARC!

Book 1 in the Cruel Shifterverse series

This book is absolutely pathological in how addictive it is. I couldn't put this down, nor did I want to. I was a willing captive to Ms. Mas' powerfully compelling words. I completely understand how people become spellbound by this series. If you are a lover of reverse harem or why choose ABO (Alpha/Beta/Omega) paranormal romances, then I definitely recommend this series. I absolutely will be continuing this series. I have to know what happens next! Read, enjoy, and hold on as you join Sadie on this wild and crazy ride.

Sadie is our strong and tenacious FMC. Sadie and her younger sister, Lucinda, are orphans and nulls who have belonged to a beta named Dick for years. Unfortunately, Dick isn't a good person and routinely beats Sadie the whole time she's a servant. At twenty Sadie is taken to a sacred lake that telegraphs what a being actually is- an alpha, beta, or a null. The lake gave an interesting answer. Sadie is labeled an alpha and dropped off outside of the compound that protects the third portal of the realm. Here is where we meet the portal's alphas: Jax, Ascher, and Cobra, who are the MMCs. This is definitely an enemies to lovers story. The MMCs don't know anything about Sadie's history and are disappointed that not only is their new alpha is untrained, but also tiny. As Sadie is trained she learns more about the world and the mysterious alphas she now has to bunk with.

Now, while this book is extremely easily to get sucked into and binge, there were things that I, personally, felt repetitive. Such as Sadie being described as small, tiny, petite, etc. After the third time it became a little much. We got it, she's a small, tiny, girl. The other thing that I was sad was missing was the spicy times between Sadie and her fellow alphas. Now, don't get me wrong. There is a ton of delicious tension and two of the alphas are a couple that we get to see together. (Yumm) And we do get to see a very short spicy scene with Sadie and one alpha at the end of the book, I was just yearning for more. But, the great thing is that this is a series and we're going to have plenty of time for heat, spice, and our main characters to get to know each other and fall in love. :o)

J'ai adoré Blood of Hercules, je voulais donc lire cette série pour me faire ma propre opinion dessus et la réédition de cette série par Canary Street Press avec un magnifique jaspage était l'occasion parfaite!
Nous allons suivre Sadie, une jeune femme qui est exploitée par son employeur jusqu'au jour où on lui fait passer le test pour savoir de quelle catégorie elle fait partie : alpha, bêta ou omega. Elle se révèle être une alpha, la première femme alpha et elle va devoir faire sa place dans une académie où il y a déjà trois alpha qui vont tout faire pour la tester...

C'était une lecture assez originale! Ce premier tome nous introduit un nouvel univers, un folklore bien à lui et des personnages hauts en couleurs! Le bémol c'est qu'il y a quelques longueurs et surtout des descriptions dont je me serais bien passée ^^ Sadie est assez attachante même si c'est une tête brûlée et j'ai eu un peu de mal avec certains des personnages masculins et de leurs trop grandes méfiance envers Sadie! Vu le cliffhanger, je vais m'empresser de lire la suite !

En bref, un premier tome qui est bien mais qui souffre de longueurs! Espérons qu'il soit traduit en France

ARC Review: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I LOVE this new cover with the sprayed edges. It had been long enough since my last read that I got to enjoy it all over again with fresh eyes.

I am very happy I was reintroduced to this series. The ending is quite the cliffhanger and I am sooo glad book 2 is already out. There are six books in this series available now. I hope they all get these great sprayed edges designs too.

Omegaverse + RH

Dark themes, harsh realities, and uncomfortable situations. This makes the book better, creating flawed characters with the potential to grow. This feels like a great setup for the rest of the series.

This is NOT a lighthearted romcom, please read the triggers first. It does have humor and light moments. Some spice in this one and I'm guessing more will be in the following books.

Thank you NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing for this ARC!

I first heard about this series on TikTok (go figure), and when I saw it was available on NetGalley, I knew it was meant to be. After seeing Blood of Hercules everywhere, I was super excited to get into more of her other books. Then, when I saw this one was Why Choose and Shifterverse, I was instantly sold.

I love that her books are getting the hype that they deserve. The men in this book, if you can call them that, are SO hot, and I cannot hold myself accountable for the things I felt reading this book. It was witty, fun, and spicy—everything you could want, and maybe some you don't. While there were definitely some moments where it was cringey, it was a really fun time, and I don't mind the alpha male in this. Let me say this is not for everyone, but it was for me. And I am about to bend the next two books in this trilogy.

📖 / 4⭐️

Thank you to Harlequin Trade Publishing & Canary Street Press via NetGalley for the opportunity to read this early in exchange for my honest opinions! #PsychoShifters #NetGalley

Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for giving me access to an eARC for this book!

4.0 stars. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Psycho shifters is the first book of a series. This book features Sadie who begins the book as a servant until she is taken to a lake and revealed to be an alpha which means she is meant to be a leader in a war against the fae and she has the ability to turn into a monster. She is then taken to a portal where she joins other alphas and betas and trains for the war. She meets three alphas who make her time difficult. The story continues from there.

I really enjoyed Sadie as a character. She has many different aspects to herself including her strongwilled alpha side, her logical killer side, and her vulnerable female side. I loved seeing her react to different situations, particularly in relationship to the other alphas.

I liked getting to see the perspective from the other alphas. I liked getting a glimpse into their stories and loved seeing their relationships with one another.

As a whole, I enjoyed this book. I will say I felt like at times the plot moved a little slow. It was more character driven so while I was not bored, I found myself wanting to learn a little more about the world and the overarching plot opposed to more of the day to day action. I did enjoy the idea of having the shifters turn into different monsters. And I found the premise to be unique. I definitely plan to continue this series.

I would definitely look up trigger warnings, there are a lot of scenes describing and depicting abuse. It is also a very spicy book. The scenes include M/M and poly scenes.

This review has been posted to Goodreads and is currently available.

🌟 4.5/5 Stars 🌟

Would you enjoy reading a fun, action-heavy paranormal romance why-choose fantasy with three hot AF alpha males? 😏🔥 Yes please!!! Psycho Shifters by Jasmine Mas has everything—spice, action, character development, and a training scene that totally gives Fourth Wing vibes 🐉💪.

Sadie is such a relatable, fierce MC—I loved her girl-boss energy and refusal to let anyone control her body or her fate 🙅‍♀️👑. This body does contain some DARK scenes, so please read the trigger warnings and take them seriously! Sadie starts off as an indentured servant but once it's discovered she’s actually an Alpha, things get real. She’s sent off to train with a group of Alphas, and that’s when the sparks start flying.💫

While there’s not a ton of spice with Sadie yet (patience, friends!), there is spice with other MMCs, which sets the stage for things to heat up in future books. I’m already obsessed with all three MMCs 😍 and can’t wait to see how the romance builds from here!

My only wish? A little more world-building would help paint the scene better. Parts of this book went really fast, and there are a couple of times when it was hard to keep track of the who, what, when, where, and why. But honestly, Sadie’s first-person POV pulls you in so fast, you barely notice. It’s an immersive ride from page one 📖✨.

If you're into omegaverse, why-choose romance, or just want to dive into a wild and spicy new world, Psycho Shifters is the perfect gateway into the Cruel Shifterverse 🌕🐺.

10/10 recommend. Let the obsession begin!

Thank you to Netgalley and Jasmine Mas for sharing this book with me!

I always enjoy Jasmine Mas' work and this book is no different! I love this trilogy and story so much, and I am so excited for it to be published for a wider audience! The same hilarious writing, unique plot and world-building, and sassy characters who also break my heart are alive here in this book and I can't wait to have it physically in my hands.

I really enjoyed Pyscho Shifters ! This was such a fun read. From the very beginning you are rooting for the fmc. She’s been through some harsh situations. Check trigger warning for sure.

Jasmine Mas can write the sh*t out of a whychoose romance, and I’m living for it. These alphas were my dream possessive alphaholes and I ate it up.
For being a why choose this was definitely a slower burn!

The plot twist at the end was everything !!! Cannot wait for the second book.

This story was a fantastic introduction into a fantasy world of far and shifters. The main characters all have some trauma that we are starting to on cover and the twists and turns of the court intrigue is tantalizing. I can’t wait to read the rest of the series because the ending had me hooked.

I wanted to love it. But I didn't. Got repetitive with talking about how tiny the FMC was and all that nonsense. Got really bored with it. I can see why some people would love it, just not for me.

Thanks to NetGalley for the copy of this book.

Thank you, Harlequin Trade Publishing | Canary Street Press, for the eARc!

I requested this book on NetGalley because I had seen it mentioned on social media. Unfortunately, it ended up not being the right fit for me.

This was my first Jasmine Mas book. I struggled with the writing style and didn’t connect with the humor. The pacing felt uneven, and the tone came across as more juvenile than I expected.

I also found some of the descriptions repetitive, particularly around character traits. The elements of misogyny expressed by the male alpha shifters were jarring and unpleasant to read. I found the world-building to be minimal as well, and I generally prefer my fantasy reads to have a more developed setting.

I considered not finishing the book, but I saw some potential in the plot and was curious to see how the story would unfold. While the plot twist at the end was intriguing, it ultimately wasn’t enough to make me want to continue with the series.

Psycho Shifters by Jasmine Mas is the first book in the Cruel Shifterverse series. Sadie is a shifter and is doing everything possible to survive, when her life is turned upside down after she is discovered to be an alpha. Now she is training and living with three gorgeous alpha men who do not know what to make of this tiny and fierce warrior. This book was so surprising and I absolutely could not put it down! The humor, raw emotion, spice, and constant snark from our FMC was a fun and different take on the romantasy genre and I am excited for the rest of the series!!

Thank you to NetGalley, Harlequin Trade Publishing, and the author for this eARC in exchange for an honest review.

Sadie is an indentured servant at a tavern with her younger sister. While her sister seems to be favored by the owner, Sadie is the focus of his abuse. This is a world where shifters exist and each person is tested when they turn 20 years old to see what kind of shifter they are. Sadie never expects to be tested because of her indenture, but an exception is made, and Sadie learns that she is an alpha. She is then literally dropped onto the doorstep of three other alphas that are guarding a portal into the fae realm. She then has to navigate what her being the first female alpha means, what the deal with the three other alphas is, and survive several plots out for her demise.

I very much enjoyed this. I knew I would probably like it for the most part, but it exceeded my expectations. I love how snarky Sadie is and that she never backs down. We get the other perspectives from the other alphas, but Sadie‘s POV tends to be the focus.

I did find the beginning to be a little bit slow, and it felt clunky in the rush to get her out of the tavern and to the other alphas, but once she was there, everything flowed better. This is a light, bully romance, in my opinion, but Jax is pretty quick to, if not trust her, at least treat her with better respect than Ascher and Cobra do.

Probably my favorite part about this is the length. The narrative is faster paced in a novel of this length, so we hit the major beats quicker as well.

If you are a fan of paranormal romance, or romance that is a little bit more out there than the standard fare, you will love this. I am looking forward to reading the rest of this series.
