Aura's life is anything but easy. Her boyfriend, Logan, died, and his slides between ghost and shade have left her reeling. Aura knows he needs her now more than ever. She loves Logan, but she can't deny her connection with the totally supportive, totally gorgeous Zachary. And she's not sure that she wants to. Logan and Zachary will fight to be the one by her side, but Aura needs them both to uncover the mystery of her past - the mystery of the Shift. As Aura's search uncovers new truths, she must decide whom to trust with her secrets and her heart.

I'm going to start this review with a confession. I LOVE Jeri Smith-Ready. She is one of those authors that brings out the fan-girl-with-stalker-tendencies in me. (I am mostly kidding here.) Her writing is magical and touches the same part of me that made me drop everything and obsess over Edward Cullen. It's THAT good.It is difficult to write a review for a second book in a series without mentioning an event or two that occurred in the first book. There may be some spoilers from book one in this review, so please continue at your own risk. I've tried very hard to be as spoiler-free as possible.
SHIFT starts off where SHADE ended. Literally. The transition between the books is seamless and there is no awkward retelling of book one events in the first few chapters as can be the case in some series.
The thing that excites me most about this book is the character development of the two main male characters in the series. Logan is almost unrecognizable from who he was before his death in SHADE. To simply say he matures is really doing an injustice to his growth and the events that are a catalyst to his maturity.
And Zachary. Where to begin? Well, there are some heartbreaking moments with Zachary in this installment. But here's the thing: They needed to happen. A boy can only be so patient with a girl that is being pretty darn wishy-washy in this whole love triangle business. Aura kinda gets her just deserts. In addition to Aura's indecisive heart, Zachary has to consider the ramifications their relationship will have on the WHOLE WORLD! That's a tough call, kids. Even with the heartbreak felt in SHIFT, Zachary is very, very close to becoming my favorite fictional boyfriend of all time.
Aura is still Aura. I've always really liked her and I think her maturity level is enviable. Not sure how she's able to practice such self control with a naked Zachary, but like I said, her maturity level is enviable. I'm pretty sure I don't have that level of maturity at double her age. ;)
Many secrets were learned in SHIFT and I feel like the love triangle has been resolved after finishing this book. Which makes me wonder what SHINE is going to bring us. (Surely many chapters will be dedicated to a castle getaway.) There is a hint of a new love triangle forming for Aura so maybe that plot line will be more developed? And I am anxious to learn more about the mysterious Shine event, too. Or....maybe it will be a 500 page love story that accidentally turns into an adult book? Either way, I'm anxiously awaiting Jeri Smith-Ready's next masterpiece.

Shift Shade Book 2 (Audible Audio Edition) Jeri SmithReady Khristine Hvam Audible Studios Books Reviews
I don’t know how Jeri Smith-Ready does it, but Shift was another one sitting read book. Shift enthralls you from the very first page to the very last. The plot, characters, and writing are all superb and the ending will leave you dying to start Shine (which I did immediately by the way.) Oh yea, in case you were wondering there is much more Zach in Shift, so that is yummy… I mean fun.
Aura shows a great deal of growth over the course of Shift. She begins to come to terms with the fact that Logan is dead and that things cannot go back to the way they were when he was alive. She stops dwelling so heavily on the past and begins looking toward the future. However, this is Aura, so of course things are never easy. Just as she begins to choose the future she wants, things get in the way. The reader will really feel for Aura; seriously my heart hurt a lot during this book.
Zach is back in full force in this book, and boy oh boy do I adore him. He is not perfect, but I like him more because of that. While I may love him, he still made some choices in this book that made me want to smack him upside the head. Then we have Logan, who I like but I just don’t adore him like I adore Zach. Logan is just too clingy and whiny for me. I also think he is a bit self-centered, but then again that is just him. I love that both boys in this book are genuinely likable, because it makes the love triangle much more interesting. I also love that neither one is perfect, they both made mistakes, and there were moments where they both made me shake my head. It is more believable this way, rather than there being the one “perfect” guy up against the other guy who seems to just be in the way.
Aside from the lovable boys, the plot in Shift is great. It is fast paced and will keep you guessing. More and more about Aura’s past is coming to light and of course the DMP are beginning to get way too interested. It is becoming clear that Aura being the first is not coincidence and that there are some things that come along with that. These are the kind of things that need to be kept secret from the DMP. Then we have Zach who is a walking BlackBox and well things are just not simple at all. Then there is also the mystery of her father and well that one was a whopper.
Shift is the kind of book that can break your heart one minute, but have you smiling the next. It manages to combine the paranormal with humor, real life situations, and heartbreaking moments. You will become engrossed in the story and the world around you will cease to exist. I stayed up into the wee hours of the morning in my quest to finish this book and I do not regret it.
All in all, Shift is a great story and a great second book in the Shade series. This series is very original and captivating and something that you need to pick up soon.
