What People Are Saying About Shift
“Original, deftly crafted, as well as an inherently fascinating and fun read from start to finish, Shift is an extraordinary and unique contemporary ‘alternate world’ fantasy that is all the more impressive when considering that it is author J.P. Lee’s debut as a novelist and launching her The Shiftwork Chronicles series. Especially and unreservedly recommended for high school and community library Science Fiction & Fantasy Fiction collections, Shift is an expert blending of fantasy, suspense, romance, and adventure.“
— 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 more, Shift 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-seems! Warning: 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.“
