And while he’s been at the zoo, he’s fallen in love with Simon, the caretaker and heir of the entire state. ![]() Granted, no one knows he’s a shifter, and he’s never actually shifted into a human before, but he knows he can. ![]() So often we find shifters to be violent, or at least aggressive, but Alfie the alpaca is far from that.Īlfie is an alpaca shifter at a petting zoo. She writes lion shifters well, and so I thought this new story with an alpaca shifter would be unique.

But when a fire threatens both the zoo and Simon, Alfie knows the time has come to put his fears aside, make his first shift, and save them. One, he’s never shifted into human form, and two, Simon is saddled with a boyfriend who’s exploiting him for his wealth. ![]() He can’t explore his crush on Simon Mattock, heir to the estate and caretaker to the animals, for two reasons.

With tensions between the two sects intensifying, Darren must figure out a means of keeping the coming war from destroying his last vestige of humanity. ![]() As Darren works to master his newfound powers as a budding member of the supernatural underworld, he becomes a valued pawn between the vampires and their deadlier rivals, the Vampaneze. So its not too surprising that he is the best thing about Cirque Du Freak: The Vampires Apprentice, a well meaning and sorta fun movie that is weighed down by a wealth of source material, and a somewhat arrogant approach to the script that more or less depends on a sequel that we might not ever get. Transformed into a bloodsucker by Crepsley, Darren joins the Cirque Du Freak and quickly ingratiates himself with the unusual cast of characters who populate it, including Madame Truska the Bearded Lady (Salma Hayek) and the traveling sideshow's towering barker (Ken Watanabe).
