 Medical urban fantasies are rare, but generally enjoyable. I like it when authors try to take the paranormal and give it a little bit of a scientific edge. Unfortunately, most of the nursing that Edie (the MC) does is of the banal kind. It involves a lot of paperwork and a fair amount of needles. *shudders* There's some interesting world-building, but a majority of the novel is spent getting to know Edie. Which was a problem because I never warmed to her. 
 Edie is a familiar UF heroine. She's cynical, broke, and kind of snarky. And, boy, does she come with baggage. But it's the kind of baggage that weighs you down and makes you feel depressed. Like, Kate Daniels has baggage, but I'd still love to hang out with her. If I hung out with Edie, I'd probably want to split my wrists. 
 Also, I think I was (willfully) mislead by the word "shifted" in the title. There is little-to-no werewolf/shifter stuff in this novel. Mostly, the mentions are limited to their tendency to pee in the elevators at the hospital where Edie works. Blech. I understand, however, that book two is going to feature werewolves. Will I read it? I don't know. It depends how long-lasting the scars of Edie's depression last.
