Publisher's summary

A nude man invades Luca Suarez's home and protects him from creatures who cannot exist. Creatures hunting him.

The stranger can't tell Luca why. He can't even tell Luca his name. He remembers nothing until the moment he sees Luca. The only hint Luca has to the stranger's identity is a tattoo on his wrist: "N o X".

Nox doesn't know who he is, but he's sure of three things, his memory loss is temporary, the monsters chasing Luca are called Anubis, and his Alpha, Koda, sent Nox to protect him. There's just one problem.... Koda is Luca's brother who was murdered five years ago.

With each passing hour, Nox fills in the pieces painting an impossible truth. And with each passing hour, both men find themselves inexplicably attracted to each other. Something Luca is willing to embrace because he has nothing left to lose. And one Nox can't let happen because it could get Luca killed.

Contains mature themes.

This Author and This Narrator? Perfect combo.

I loved the Bound Gods series, so when I saw this I knew it had to be good. Kirt Graves is the icing on top. Looking forward to Anubis and I dearly hope it will be in Audio format.

Original, intelligent, Emotional,, Mercurial, Epic

I absolutely loved this book! it was so original, I was hooked from the beginning and couldn't put it down and found that I had to replay parts quite often. Not because the story was difficult to follow, but because I didn't want to miss a thing. Especially, the scientific aspect of the story. whats amazing is that it all made sense and was believable. so, someone did their homework. Yes, there was a lot of scientific jargon, physics, but it was put in layman's terms thanks to Dr. Reese.
I rooted for Luca and Nox, even though I can't see them having HEA. I still want them to make it. people playing God, messing up peoples lives and causing misery.The military, government, and of course scientific research companies do what they always do. its about war and money.
some mention there is a lot of sex, I believe it was necessary based on how the Anubis interacted as a pack. as they were created and revert to baser instincts..its more than sex, its belonging, caring, needful, give and take, and yes, even love in a sense. Remember they are of the hive-mind ..I wish I can say more about that. Kudos to MCs for being strong and fighting, though death is right around the corner. I even like the SCs, they have depth and don't complicate the storyline. lastly, the narrator is spot on with voices and emotions. This should be made into a movie or series. Thank you A Wilder and K Graves for this madterpiece.
(Its so hard to write a review without spoilers, I hope I did it justice)

More then just another shifter story

Without spoiling too much all i have to say is that it is different then your average M/M shifter romance. i have been looking for something different and this was it. I love the nuances and details the author adds to shifter formula making it almost something totally different. The world the author creates isn't totally outlandish it sorta works in a science-fantasy kinda way. All the characters are great, The only thing that annoys me is how main character that wind up these situation always end up in a state of total disbelief. its like they never even heard of "werewolves". No one even connects the similarities until much later on in the story. I guess the author really wants to separate his world from all the other shifter novel and if the characters were so clever the book would be shorter and less entertaining but i just roll my eyes how obvious somethings are. By the end there are some loose ends but overall it was very satisfying but i'm hoping there would be more.

Kirt Graves is one of my all time favorite narrators, I absolutely love his voice range, it doesn't matter if the character is male or female he give them a distinct personality and flair.

That being said lets get to real reason why we listen to these book! animalistic love-making doesn't being to describe it! the world the author created was very solid and the story would have been great without the excessive lovemaking but who are we kidding!

Porn meets a physics textbook

I will start by saying that I enjoyed much of this story and I did finish it. Despite my next comments, I'd recommend it, especially the audio version as Kirt Graves brings the novel to life. He is talented and has not only a good range of voices but great pacing, depending on what's happening.

There were things I loved about the novel and things I really didn't. I won't give spoilers.

The good:

This is a very original take on shifters. There are elements from multiple genres woven seamlessly together into something I wouldn't have considered. It's refreshing to listen to/read something that isn't just trope. The characters were fleshed out and I sympathized with many of them. It resolves satisfactorily, which for me is always a worry. I feel like reality is full of doom and gloom; I need my happy ending!

The bad:

While this book was long (something like 15 hours or so), I felt like it could have been cut down without losing anything. I am totally fine with gay sex, why would I be in this section otherwise, but it was like a free-for-all with it. There were many scenes with Koda and the gang, and then Nox and Luka basically were like rabbits throughout the book. It became absurd. I know Ms. Wilder tried to tie all the fornicating (that's really what much of it was) into their need to "connect" with their alpha, but seriously.

The other major issue for me was that there were times where the story got bogged down in technical details that completely lost me and threw me out of the flow. I do appreciate that the author wanted to justify her theory on this new breed, but it was way too scientific for an audiobook. I even rewound through some parts, but nope. Had no idea what was going on in places. Don't know if it's different in written format but I suspect it's still too dense.

I would actually love to have a sequel. The book ends wrapping up several storylines, yet drops kind of a bomb on us at the end. Hopefully Kirt Graves can narrate again. Give this a try, you can always return it. I'll probably let it sit for a few months and then listen to it again.

One of the best books I've listened to this year!!

This book had great character development that made you get the full connection between Luca, Nox. The multiple POV's added to the uniqueness of the story. I think that is what I loved the most because so many books have similar story lines, they can get redundant. So, when I find one that really stands out I can only hope there will be a book 2!! I absolutely recommend this book to anyone looking for a new take on shifter m/m romance.
