The Turning Season (A Shifting Circle Novel), 9780425261705, 0425261700, Paperback, Shinn; Sharon

As the national bestselling Shifting Circle series continues, a woman must choose between hiding her nature—and risking her heart...
 
For Karadel, being a shape-shifter has always been a reality she couldn’t escape. Even though she’s built a safe life as a rural veterinarian, with a close-knit network of shifter and human friends who would do anything for her, she can’t help but wish for a chance at being normal.
 
When she’s not dealing with her shifts or caring for her animal patients, she attempts to develop a drug that will help shifters control their changes—a drug that might even allow them to remain human forever.
 
But her comfortable life is threatened by two events: She meets an ordinary man who touches her heart, and her best friend is forced to shift publicly with deadly consequences.
 
Now Karadel must decide whom to trust: her old friends or her new love.
