Blurb: You can now have all four of the MM Lake Erie pack novellas in this one reasonably priced collection! Included in the set are the previously released novellas An Erie Halloween, An Erie Operetta, and An Erie Garden Party. To round off this whimsical and romantic shifter set is a brand-new novella, An Erie Uprising!

It’s been one wonderfully romantic year since skunk shifter Templeton Reed met Mikel Lupei, the alpha wolf of the Lake Erie pack. During that year, the two men fell in love and worked side-by-side to solve some tricky murder mysteries. They also opened up Lupei Manor, Mikel’s familial home, to other LGBTQ mystical beings in the Erie area. Sadly, being gay in the supernatural world Templeton and Mikel live in can be a death sentence.

During the past year, the magical world has slowly been coming unraveled. Civil unrest now runs rampant through the community as the lesser breeds revolt against the hateful dictates of the Elder Counsel. The uprising will surely touch every person residing in the magical world beside Lady Erie. Will the flames of unrest and war consume everything and everyone Templeton and Mikel hold dear as well?

Review: I love reading VL Locey’s books. In fact, I actually got my hands on a couple of these novellas when they first came out, but since I’d never read the first one I never got the full background. In the last couple years I’ve been devouring Locey’s ice hockey based books, so this was a nice change of pace, although I absolutely adore many of her other books.

This collection, An Erie Collection, brings together the first three novellas of the Lake Erie Shifters series, in addition to a new story: An Erie Halloween, An Erie Operetta, An Erie Garden Party and An Erie Uprising.

In An Erie Halloween, cute little skunk shifter Templeton Reed meets wolf shifter Mikel Lupei and the couple fall in love and mate. In An Erie Operetta, Mikel wants his pack to be classy and proposes a night out at the opera. This means suit fittings and all sorts of hijinks. In An Erie Garden Party, spring may have come and melted the snow away, but a new comer to the pack means that everyone is in danger. However, the question is, why is the new comer a danger. That answer leads us to the new novella in the series, An Erie Uprising. The pack manor is now providing shelter to other LGBTQ paranormal creatures. However, not all is good in the paranormal world because their way of life is fast coming undone. Templeton and Mikel have to fight to keep their new pack together as well as somehow battle the outside forces threatening their peace and harmony.

Templeton is the heart of this series, he is sweet and funny. When it comes to having to deal with members of his and his mate’s pack it’s usually pretty damn funny. Because let’s face it, the skunk is feisty and the wolves are grumpy! At the heart of it, these are some cute stories that are a mix of sweetness and some harsh realities which are faced by the shifters of Lake Erie. Mainly, these guys have to deal with homophobia and the fact that to many shifters, same sex relationships are outlawed. When I say cute, I mean it in the fact that these novellas are full of hope and there is a happy ending for the two MCs.
