Michele wrote: "Are there any suggestions for the "New Creatures-Read about a species you have never read about"? I read a book with a phoenix shifter last year but it was the first new one in a while."Depends on what you have read :)
Maybe:
Stormwalker
Demi-Gods
Gargoyles
And again there is a lot of different shifter/weres
Not sure with the policy on it many be just reading where it is the same creatures that you are use to like gods but from a religion you don't know much about
What was the Phoenix shifter book called? :)
Hope it helps! :D
