Just Ducky (Weird Shifters) Kindle Edition

4.6 out of 5 stars 33 ratings

The border between supernaturals and humans is at risk. War is imminent unless a comatose princess wakes. It’s only a matter of time before the situation turns violent. He’s searching everyone and everything to find a cure and a peaceful resolution.

____________________________________________________________________________

Unattached paranormals are on the prowl...

And who can blame them?

After being missing in action for quite some time, Vampire Lord Kobreon is in the limelight again. The competition is stiff to earn a place at his side. Who knows how long it will be before someone ends up owning a majority stake at the heart of the deal?

_______________________________________________________________________

She studied his history—collected his memorabilia—worshipped him from afar. If only fate’s favourable gaze would shine on her this one time...

The odds are stacked against her. Instead of fangs and claws, she has soft fuzz; replacing strength and agility are waddles and paddles. No one wants to talk to a failed shifter, let alone date one.

Can the only duckling on the water stay afloat, or will her dreams of a happily ever after sink forever?

Chances for eternal love don’t come around often. She’s praying this opportunity will turn out Just Ducky.

I’m such a fan of C.A. King and their lovely paranormal YA books. This particular book grabbed my attention with its adorable cover art. Who doesn’t adore a sweet little yellow floof!? I simply had to know how this shifter story would go, so I jumped right in and was not disappointed. I really enjoyed Ducky’s character and sort of related to her with the anxiety struggle that initially she did not have a good sense of control over, leading to a number of embarrassing situations. Of course, bullying from others around her ensued. One thing that I can say without hesitation is that the author clearly has a gift of keeping the reader enthralled with the different plot twists, characters and levels of paranormal figures. I could not put this book down. I found myself excited to see what was next and continuously telling myself that I needed to read just one more chapter before bed. I found myself laughing out loud throughout the book because of the witty back and forth and even some of the character names that were quite clever. For instance, I almost fell over when I first read about the character calling himself, Drak Ula. Who would have guessed he was not a fan of garlic! Don’t worry, this isn’t something that will give any plot twists away. I think fans of the paranormal, YA books, and great storytelling will really enjoy this book. It is quite interesting, a page turner and refreshing take on this genre. The fight between human and the supernatural, good vs what is perceived as evil, is always a good foundation for a fantastic story. This book did not disappoint.

    This book is so clever and unique. While Just Ducky is not my first weird shifter read it is definitely one of the better ones. Ducky is relatable with her wit, anxiety and demeanor and this is what I love about her. The world building is good, character building was even better and I have to say it whole heartedly pulled me in to it's weird little world.

    I can't wait to read about some other weird shifters that the author comes up with.

    Ducky is a shifter that lives in the kingdom of shifters under the rule of Lord Kobreon, a vampire by humans naming. Kobreon is set to keep peace between all the kingdoms as he does not want a war between kingdoms. However in his travels it is rumored that he is looking for a bride and that is why he is coming home. This is when Ducky decides she wants to try and get at least a peek at him even though she feels he would want nothing to do with her. Ducky is a duck shifter and according to everyone has no qualities of a good shifter. On her trip to the castle she gets anxious that she will be seen and accidentally shifts into her duck form and is saved and taken into the castle, where Kobreon and his mother begin to fall for this duckling shifter. However she is only known as a shifter to his mother, Kobreon does not yet know. Will Kobreon be able to prevent the war and will he be able to keep his beloved duckling?

    Being a duck shifter in the middle of shifters of larger useful animals is like being a carrot in a donut shop. Ducky is an outsider. No friends and lots of enemies. She had been attacked and verbally abused all her life. When the Vampire King comes to meet with people of her town she finds herself brought into the place when she inadvertently changes to a duckling. Someone from the place saves her from being trampled and killed by the mass of people trying to see the King. The king is on a quest that will lead to war if he doesn't complete it. Will war come for the humans and shifters? Read the book and find out. Excited to read book two.

    Just Ducky is the first book in the Weird Shifters series. After reading this book, I look forward to more in this series. The borders of the paranormals and humans are at risk of colliding and going to war, and the paranormals are out in force since the return of Lord Kobreon. In all of this, we meet Ducky. She is a duck shifter who is teased and mistreated. What happens when Lord Kobreon runs into this cute, fluffy ducky?
    I enjoyed the world-building and characters of this story. The book is the perfect length, allowing the story and characters to develop. I was intrigued by Ducky and how she doesn't fit the normal shifter story. I enjoyed her tenacity despite her circumstances while still being vulnerable to her character. Also, Lord Kobreon was interesting, and I enjoyed that he was a contrast to Ducky.
    I always enjoy books by this author, and this was no exception. I look forward to reading the next book in this series and to reading more from this author.

    I swear if you want to read some out of the box unique paranormal books C.A. king is the author to read. This is not the first book I have read by this author and I knew when I saw the cover I just had to pick it up. I just knew I'd be in for a crazy wonderful ride and I was right this book was filled with you know the usual vampires, wolves, ect., but also the not so usual never seen before shifter (at least in none of the books i've ever read). It also has action, adventure, danger, romance, forced proximity and fantasy. This is the second book of the Weird Shifters Series. The first being Happy Hump Day which I know have to go read 🥰 I can't wait to read more of the authors work. If you haven't Already read it, get it now. I mean have you ever read a book about a DUCK Shifter, probably not. 🥰 you won't regret It.

    Just Ducky by C.A King is about a world where Supernatural beings and Humans co-exist. During an era of peace and separation between the two. The Vampire Lord (Vampire being used loosely) is on a mission to heal the human princess. If he doesn’t find a cure then war will start. He finds a companion in Ducky after his mother rescues her. Unbeknownst to him Ducky is a shifter.

    I thought the story was cute. Basically a remake of the Ugly Ducking with a supernatural twist on it. I like that the shifters and Vampires are not traditional at all. I’m excited for the next book.

    Just Ducky is the first book in the Weird Shifters series by C.A King. It is a superb, very original, and cleverly crafted paranormal romance. There is a bit of a fairytale-esque feel to the story, as well as a ‘quest’ component- which means plenty of action, adventure, danger, and high stakes. This shifter romance had me intrigued from the moment I laid eyes on the title, and then the blurb only fired my curiosity even more- so I was excited to dive in as soon as it hit my Kindle. With unusual shifters, as well as vampires, wolves, agendas, an opposites attract element, forced proximity, magic, fate, humour, banter, mystery, tension, intrigue, suspense, the threat of war, and time running out- made this an entirely engrossing read.
    Ducky has felt like a ‘duck out of water’, excluded and made fun of- and treated like an outcast for her whole life. But when she discovers that the shifter of her dreams may be on the look out for a bride, Ducky can’t help but watch longingly from the ‘sidelines’. But then fate thrusts her into a situation that brings her up close and personal with her heart’s desire- only he doesn’t realise ‘who’ she is. With the threat of war on the doorstep, Ducky would love to be able to help find a solution to the problem- but what can she, a little duckling, possibly be able to do? And what happens when her secrets are revealed? If you love paranormal stories, sweet romance, adventure, and a fairytale feel, then you will definitely want to get your hands on a copy of this book.
    Another great read from Ms. King’s seemingly limitless imagination.
    Looking forward to ‘Happy Hump Day’ (Book #2).
    Happy Reading…

    Thank you, C.A King!
