I saw the blood on his lips. I wanted to kiss him to taste that copper and feel his tongue driving "The shifter becomes possessive, especially after sealing the deal with more than just a kiss.”

Noah Harris is a 28-year-old bisexual man currently single and living in a small apartment in New York.
Being a natural introvert with significant extrovert tendencies he expresses himself through the world of writing MM books, often with a darker, paranormal twist. His books are written from the heart of his deep, sensitive and mysterious, but playful and creative, wild spirit.
Noah is dedicated to giving something back to the universe, sharing generously in his successes and inspiring and motivating others through his writing and in any other way he can. He believes in living a natural, healthy lifestyle and has embraced meditation as a way of clearing the 'noise' in his head and allowing his dark creativity to shine through in his books.
He is determined to reach out to as many readers, who he considers his 'friends', as he can through his unique personal touch and through building like-minded communities online. It is this personal touch, with his readers, that sets him apart from most other authors today.
I liked the story itself but had a difficult time following it with the audio version. The narrator’s voice was fine enough but he only uses one. One voice, tone, tempo, etc. Pretty much the entire time. It made it incredibly difficult to tell the difference of who was saying what when characters were speaking. It also made it very difficult to tell the difference between when the mc was thinking something v. saying it.
I think I’d have liked this story worlds better if I’d read it text version instead.
The story was good though. I liked the vamp v were aspect and the premise of change/finding a purpose that was going on. All my dislikes really came down to how it was narrated and I often recognised points where the lines would have fit better if they were read differently. I may put this on my re-read list on my kindle.
A very excellent plot with interesting characters is the only good thing about this extremely violent, gay, paranormal romance. Unfortunately, the text is rife with errors that should have been fixed in editing. The audiobook version is amateurish with a very poor reader who couldn't be bothered to edit out his errors.
I think the primary reason for the lower rating is the performance of the narrator of the audiobook (There was NO distinction between any of the characters.), but I did have some issues with the plot, flow, and consistency of the story, too.
I liked the storyline but there are a lot of errors. I don't remember that being the case with other books that I have read by Noah Harris. Still worth your time to read.
