Waaay too much telling and not enough showing. For example, the argument with Mrs. Grey should have been shown, it would have made a more dramatic impact to the story. I felt that I was playing catch up with this particular world, I'm told that a lot of shifters don't like Skyler because he's a snak...

I wasn't sure what to think when I saw that the main shifter was a snake shifter but I really liked Sky. I found his circumstance- living as a snake only for the first 12 years of his life- to be really interesting, and to be adopted and loved for the rest of his life to be so heartwarming.It was n...

3.5 stars~ Just from the cover I was expecting a cute, sweet story and that was exactly what I got. :) Skylar is a snake shifter who lives alone in the woods until he finds two abandoned and crying wolf babies. He calls for help from wolf Brady, his longtime crush, and together they try to find out ...

I really enjoyed this story, though it was a bit thin, or rushed in some areas.I liked the world Derr created, and I really hope she comes back to it. It would be really nice to see how Skylar and the puppies fair in the future.

I absolutely loved this story, and would love to see it continued. Wasn't sure how I'd like snake shifters, since they're usually evil and I'm not a fan of snakes, but now my opinion's changed a bit. I highly recommend Backwoods Asylum.

A pure feel-good-read, every problem gets solved miraculously and a fast HEA, not really realistic and could have been much better if the same story had been told 3-4x slower. But I guess sometimes a happy little story like this is just what you need...

Really adorable with extra brownie points because damn, who doesn't love werewolf cubs? (cue squealing)

3.5 starsEditing problem aside (since I am familiar with that 'issue' of LT3 releases), I thought the story was really lovely. There wasn't plenty of snake shifters out there and Sky was an adorable one. As always, Megan Derr's stories were chaste on sex scenes, so forgot about finding hot sweaty me...

I'm a fan of Ms Derr's stories, she has a way of making me care about the characters and the stories are usually very caste and cute. I also like unusual shifter stories and the only other snake shifter story I read [b:Snakeskin Boots|11775068|Snakeskin Boots (Were Menagerie, #1)|Xara X. Xanakas|htt...
