Into the Myst

I loved it!!! Can't wait for the next installment. The plot was interesting and the heroine not mousey or winey. I like Ms. Banks' works and hope she continues this series!

first book in Maya Banks' FALCON MERCENARY GROUP series

While on a mission to Ahdarji, a recovery unit, along with their mercenary guide, are exposed to a chemical agent which leaves them all with the ability to shapeshift. Only the shifting is uncontrollable and unpredictable and the answers to the situation seem to lie with the one man who seems to have conquered his shifting - Eli. Tyana Berezovsky is determined to do whatever she has to in order to find a cure for her brother Damiano's shifting instability. The drugs they'd been using to keep him in human form aren't as effective as they used to be and Ty fears for him. As a member of the elite group of mercenaries called the Falcons she uses her knowledge to attempt to gain information from Eli by seducing him. Eli Chance has a big secret. He was born a shifter and his teammates `gift' of the ability to shapeshift makes him feel less like a freak of nature. He feels a great responsibility for his comrades and is concerned for their sanity due to their inability to control their shifts and lack of memory or human characteristics while in their altered forms. Eli's very aware there's something different about Ty from the minute he first sees her in a seedy bar. He's blissfully unaware that her interest in him is more than purely sexual until he notices her slip a little something extra into his drink. Ty's mission to get info regarding how Eli's able to control his shifting proves to be more difficult than originally thought since he's not going along with the plan to incapacitate him. She hadn't planned on actually having sex with him but she certainly isn't complaining about the detour in her plans either. Her mission's blown when she can't find the information she needs and Eli busts her searching his place. She still manages to escape and return to her `family' but her concern over D's deteriorating condition will have her going against Jonah and Mad Dog's demands that she give up her quest. Is there any hope for a lasting relationship between Ty and Eli when her family blames him for D's condition in the first place? INTO THE MIST is the first book in Maya Banks FALCON MERCENARY GROUP series and I have to tell you I'm already looking forward to the others. These aren't your ordinary shapeshifters and I was stunned by how sexy I found Eli's ability to shift into mist. There's no denying Ty and Eli are both deadly as well as emotionally vulnerable and the combination keeps readers' riveted to the pages. Of course, I love the smart mouth comments and attitude that are present throughout the entire book. Their verbal sparing keep you smiling despite the seriousness of the situation. I'm dying to know more about all these characters and what happens next. There's just an emotional pull towards the men of both Eli and Jonah's group and I want them all to get their own happily-ever-afters. Maya Banks is a master at creating characters who capture readers' hearts and live on in their memories. She con
