Synopsis (Goodreads):

Lia Doe came to Mystic Bayou for one simple reason: to get her job done. Namely, to build a housing complex for all the new residents flocking to town since word of its supernatural population got out. But from the moment Lia arrives, it’s clear that nothing about the job is going to be simple.

First, there’s the mysterious guy she meets in the middle of the night while they’re both cavorting in their alternate forms. Spending time with shape-shifters is nothing new to Lia, but there’s something special about Jon Carmody…and the magical pull she feels whenever he’s near. There’s also a sense of homecoming and belonging in Mystic Bayou that makes her want to stick around - despite the dangers brewing from mysterious forces.

Will Lia complete her project with her heart unscathed, or will her life shift forever?

Thoughts on Shifters in the Night:  We're back in Mystic Bayou and things are just as gloriously chaotic as ever with these wild supernaturals. And now that the supernaturals have been outed to the world, more and more are heading into Mystic Bayou since it's at the center of a lot of what's happening.

For Lia, MB feels like home. She likes the people. She likes the atmosphere. She very much feels like she's found her place. The company she works for, however, has big plans for MB that don't entirely align with what the people living there want. Which puts Lia in a bit of a pickle since she's kinda sorta caught in the middle of things.

Meanwhile, practically-a-hermit Jon can't stop thinking about Lia after their first unexpected meeting. Fortunately for him, Lia can't stop thinking about Jon. They're slightly hindered by a lack of communication (Jon's not good with sharing his feelings...or much of anything at all after spending so much time alone and Lia misreads-and overthinks-a couple of things on more than one occasion), but they figure themselves out pretty quickly.

Good thing, too, since this is Mystic Bayou and sometimes sinister things happen if the residents aren't careful. It always help to have someone who has your back when things turn dangerous.

A lot of familiar faces, a fierce group of friends, a small town trying to keep from getting too big, too fast, and a couple who are stumbling along in the best possible way. *thumbs up*
