This series has a very interesting premise. The year is 6515 and lion shifters are the only species left on the planets. Apparently the great rains killed all humans, other shifters, vegetation and other animal life thousands of years ago. The lions live in small villages as prides where each territory is separated by quite a distance to prevent war between prides. Animal and vegetative life is plentiful but no humans or other shifters exist. Also no women. So evolution has allowed the males to be able to carry babies.Into this strange world walks Alexi and his friends who stumble on a doorway from their time to this one. Lansing the lion king turns out to be Alexi's mate and now must protect him against the forces within his pride that want to kill the wolves and the king.This is an unusual storyline but it was entertaining considering the type of books these are. I'll be interested to read further and see what happens! I don't know about this world Ms. Hagen has built. I think it's a little too farfetched for me. All the humans have died out, the only sentient beings are lion shifters and they are all male because for some reason the females didn't survive the great rains. So Mother Nature steps up and fixes it so the males can carry children, all of the offspring being male. So apparently not only did the great rains kill off all the females but the Y chromosome too. Nope – don’t buy it, even if I do like to read MM books, this I’m not buying.
What do You think about Alexi's King (2012)?
