{"product_id":"the-dratsie-dilemma-the-san-andreas-shifters","title":"The Dratsie Dilemma: The San Andreas Shifters","description":"A heartwarming urban fantasy from New York Times best selling author Gail Carriger about redemption, destiny, and the enduring strength of found family (and caffeine).\n\nOnce upon a time, Trick went up against the sea and lost. Badly. Or so he thought.\n\nWhat the sea decides to keep, it keeps forever.\n\nTrick is a dratsie shifter, a river otter. He is charming, loads of fun, and a little bit slippery. He’s running from a past he can’t forget, and he’s landed unexpectedly in the chaotic comforting embrace of a small town cafe and the world’s queerest pack of werewolves.\n\nUnfortunately, it turns out the past has also refused to forget Trick. It washes up on his doorstep and gets instantly tangled up in marine biology conferences, twelve mermaids thrift shopping, and specialty cappuccinos.\n\nThat past is grumpy, sexy, and wearing a very sparkly tail. (Don’t you dare call him a fish.)\n\nTrick was just starting to feel like it was all going to be okay. But sometimes the sea decides to spit up a merman who has been looking for Trick for over a decade. Trick will have to decide whether he starts running all over again or faces up to heartbreak and the childhood best friend who betrayed him.\n\n\"Carriger manages to keep things fresh and progressive in not only the contemporary urban landscape but in the diversity, humor and warmth she uses to complement some of the weightier elements...\" - The Novel Approach (The Sumage Solution)\n\n\"Carriger has created a world that’s uniquely her own in the shifter-verse that I thoroughly enjoy visiting and can’t wait to see what comes next.\" - Boy Meets Boy reviews (The Omega Objection)\n\nThis delightful gay shapeshifter series is perfect for fans of TJ Klune, Alexis Hall, or R Cooper. The San Andreas Shifter books stand alone and do not need to be read in any order, but if you’re a stickler, this book comes after The Enforcer Enigma (and newsletter exclusive short story Vixen Ecology).\n\nDelicate Sensibilities?\n\nThis paranormal romance contains MM sexy times, horrible puns regarding oceanography, and clumsy mermaids in high heels. If you get offended easily, then you probably will. The San Andreas Shifter stories include blue language, dirty deeds, and outright admiration for the San Francisco Bay Area. Not for the faint of heart (or mouth or tongue).\n\nBy G L Carriger The San Andreas Shifter series (start with The Sumage Solution) The 5th Gender\nAs Gail Carriger The Tinkered Starsong series (start with Divinity 36) Crudrat The Finishing School series (start with Etiquette \u0026amp; Espionage) The Delightfully Deadly stories The Parasol Protectorate series (start with Soulless) The Supernatural Society stories The Custard Protocol series (start with Prudence) The Claw \u0026amp; Courtship stories\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1944751521\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1944751521.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Carriger, Gail|Carriger, G.
