I’m reading City of Light by Keri Arthur

Given that none of the animal shifters ever shift into an animal at any point in the entire book, you might wonder why they’re even called shifters.

The answer is that the love interest is a scarred ex-ranger with a constant feel of barely suppressed violence. He has to be called a cat shifter because it would create the wrong tone if he was called a catboy.
