Author Apollo Surge now has ten books available on Amazon – including MATING SEASON, THE LAST OMEGA three book series, THE LEGACY OF THE WOLF series, and his new series – THE MOONSTONE LEGACY, of which THE WAY OF TWO PATHS is the second installment. Paranormal gay romances have become a popular genre and Apollo fits into this category of writers well. In this novel the story continues to be centered on wolf shifters and the range of emotion is strong and unique.
The plots of this new series continue into a fresh territory for this fine author, an arena of secrets involving paranormal identities that reaches a new level of sophistication. The book opens with a Prologue that is not only moody, but also one that beckons the reader to enter the further ongoing romance from Book 1. ‘It was a bright, starlit night and Mel was once again lying beside Todd, gazing at his handsome features. His skin was smooth, like porcelain. He had an ethereal beauty about him, almost like he wasn’t form this time at all. Never before had she been taken with a boy. She’d always been attracted to people older than herself, and had wanted to wait until college before she met the perfect guy. Someone who could talk to her about philosophy, acting, and the meaning of life. Todd had come out of nowhere…The only other boy she had loved was Johnny...’ And with that opening the author has captured our imagination and attention, and the secrets of the book will surface.

Apollo’s gift of prose serves the story well: the descriptive and atmospheric rendering of the locale and the interplay of wolf shifter/werewolf and human make the story ring. This second episode unwinds well and continues to mesmerize as a wolf shifter romance. Apollo continues to grow as an author.
