TIGER, TIGER is the only possibility that fits when some Spanish-speaking jaguar shifters bring in a body that has been mauled by something with massive paws. Some local homeless men have gone missing, and no other were-tigers are known to Sasha and his friends. Someone killing people could bring down wrath on all the shifters, so they'd better find him. The jaguar clans distrust the tigers and Sasha tries to convince them to co-operate. He gets distracted by experimenting with his complex ménage relationship, then suddenly the rogue tiger attacks and there's no time to react.

This adult paranormal story combines a few different themes - gay ménage, bondage, and shapeshifting suspense. The Siberian tigers are really well characterised and it's easy to see how a luckless victim would be overpowered. This is the second in the Chicagoland Shifters series and there is also a werefox and Russian bears for us to meet.

Sasha's a vegetarian who is given grilled Portobello mushrooms with mole sauce at a barbecue party when the jaguars are hosting. He has empathy with the shifters who value his skills when they get wounded. However there is a lot of violence in this story and a lot of dominant behaviour around Sasha, so I can't help feeling that he doesn't get the best end of the bargain. TIGER, TIGER follows the first instalment, Burning Bright, by A Catherine Noon and Rachel Wilder.
