What People Are Saying About Shift

— Midwest Book Review

Endorsements

Alexandria Faulkenbury, author of Somewhere Past the End:

Shift by J.P. Lee is a propulsive story that will captivate readers with its world building and character development. Lee writes with clarity and intensity, crafting a twisty plot that will make you root for the scrappy Sybil and her kin. Tackling found family, prejudice, ostracization, young love and moreShift is a coming-of-age narrative that will have readers begging to spend more time in the magical world of Americana. A must-read for fans of Suzanne Collins and Rebecca Ross.”

Kimberly Dunham, author of Betwixt:

Shift is an unflinching exploration of societal inequality and belonging with a rugged mountain backdrop. A seamless mingling of magic and grit, Lee offers high-stakes, political intrigue, and multifaceted characters that will keep you turning pages late into the night.”

B.W. Green, author of Lifeblood:

“Welcome to a world that is almost familiar and yet filled with magic. J.P. Lee introduces a compelling scene of political intrigue and personal struggle that tugs at your desire to explore its depths and nuances. A true YA tale, it follows Sybil through coming of age experiences, family loyalty struggles, questions of morality, and budding relationships. I would recommend this book to any young adult (or young at heart!) who loves non-occult magic, clean (kissing only) romance, relational and political twists and turns, and all-is-not-as-it-seemsWarning: it leaves you wanting to know what happens next!”

Holly D. Morgan, author of The Disparate Energy novels:

“I loved the world building and mysteries built into this story! The shapeshifting element continuously drew me in, making me want to keep reading to see what would happen next. I was fascinated by the main character and the way she views the world and circumstances she finds herself in. I could sense that underneath her tough exterior was a softness she’s afraid to embrace. I would love to continue this series and see where this political game is headed.
