~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

FILTHY VANDAL is the first book, a prequel, in the Junkyard Shifter series & FILTHY BEAST is the second book in the series.
 
I had already read FILTHY BEAST, along with FILTHY WOLF and FILTHY ALPHA, so I was ecstatic to finally get my greedy little hands on the prequel and read Grant and Caitlyn’s story.
 

Because I had already read two other books in the series, I was already in series love with Grant and Caitlyn.  These two are awesome.  I just knew I would love to read about how they met, fell in love, and found the secret that has since become common knowledge among the denizens of the junkyard for release from their prison.  I was right to want this story.  It was even better than I could have hoped it to be. 
 
Now, onto to the next couple.
 
FILTHY BEAST is the second book in the Junkyard Shifters series.    Though each book will focus on one couple, I recommend reading the whole series and in the order of release.
 
There are no flowers and chocolates in this romance.  Not when their “meet cute” is in a junkyard that is the prison for incorrigible shifters.  I love that the men are rough, hard, masculine, alpha to the nth degree and the two women present are strong but soft.
 
I loved this story.  It was different in so many ways.  Yet, there was the steam, fated mates, and plenty of hints of who may feature in future stories and all of the elements that I hope to find in a shifter story.
 
I wish I had read Caitlyn and Grant’s story.  They are the shifters who live just outside of the Junkyard and help Carter and Lena.  In my research for this review, I found out that there was a prequel, but it is not available on Amazon.  On the other hand, I am standing ready to accept each book as it releases, and I will serve my time in the junkyard awaiting my perfect mate to arrive.
 
Note:  While I received this book as a gifted ARC via Alpha Obsession Book Club, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
