Really liked the start of this book, good ratcheting of tension but the money shot came a little too soon for me. I liked the characters, August is kind of cute and bumbling and shifting into a chinchilla made for lots of cute youtube viewing to find out what the hell they were. Sam was macho, surly...

Gumption & Gumshoes - Alex Kidwell I entered looking for this And, I don't know how, I ended with this Aside the disappointment for characterizations, I didn't found anything interesting in the plot (which, imo, is not credible) and I don't know what to think about the paranormal side. So, ...

4 stars. I loved Auggie! A chinchilla shifter! And he was so awkward and chubby and nerdy. And Sam was awesome. A bit older and grouchy, but really just a softy underneath it all. They were really just perfect for each other.Recommended :)

This was everything I don't like and Kidwell made it work for me. Both MCs were interesting, the mystery was predictable but again it was right for this situation and the whole shifter thing was really funny. I hope there will more from this couple!!! Please!!!!

3.75 starsAn utterly charming story. It got perhaps just a little too sweet for me around the last quarter, but Augie is so adorable I could forgive him for being constantly amazed and thrilled he'd landed Sam, his gruff, George Clooney lookalike landlord.

August, thanks to an inheritance from his grandfather, is a fairly new detective owning his own business and working his first big case. Sam is his divorced older, grumpier landlord. These two are attracted to each other but neither one of them wants to make the first move. August is self-conscious ...
