Resumen del Editor

Not quite human, not quite beast. Not quite female, not quite male. Sometimes hunter, sometimes prey. Always alone. Until them.

Fiend hunter Sam “Sabertooth” Forest is used to being on the outskirts. A cur with a mix of shifter and human blood, Sam can’t fully shift to beast but can’t fully pass as human. Through sheer determination and a desire to protect the broken shifter woman who raised them, Sam has managed to eek out a place of their own in a world devastated by the rift that allowed monsters to spill into the Earth plane.

Sam hunts monsters and, sometimes, curs and mongrels just like Sam. The work might be dangerous, and the humans might want to put the mixed-breed hunter on their hit list, but it’s a job. It’s freedom. Sam works alone and trusts no one.

The next hunt should bring in a big bounty - big enough to pay the pack extortion fee and keep Sam’s adoptive mother safe through winter. But when a leprechaun horns in on the unicorn hunt and tricks Sam into forming a hunter’s guild, Sam is suddenly burdened by an overabundance of people.

Setting off to hunt one-horned murder beasts with an annoying leprechaun and a nerdy half-ogre is bad enough. But when you add in a betrayal by the seductive siren Sam has loved since childhood and the machinations of a rich human politician, well...Sam’s simple, lonely little life just got a whole lot more complicated.

Author’s note:

I love reverse harem, but I got sick of reading the same old tropes. In my books, you will find atypical characters and varied sexuality. In general, you probably won’t find many alpha males or fainting females.

The Not Quite series is a harem/reverse-harem urban fantasy series of novellas and contains the following:

• Adult language, and lots of it
• Moderate levels of violence/gore/action
• Graphic sexual situations
• Polyamory/ multiple lovers
• LBGTQ and straight themes (the main character is intersex and will have both male and female lovers, and this is a harem, so expect M/F, M/M, F/F, MMMFF, etc.)

As usual, my characters all have their own emotional scars. This means, the book may contain mentions of abuse, unpleasant situations, etc. Please do not listen to it if you are triggered by things like this.

This is a series, so while there will always be a complete plot cycle of some kind, there may be a lead in to the next book. The book does not end on a "cliff-hanger" where the action stops right in the middle with no resolution, like some books tend to these days. The main plot arc is brought to a "for now" conclusion, and there is a setup for the next book. If you aren't in to that, please pass on by.

Great

I loved this book and it was great as an audiobook. I liked the narration: it seemed to fit well. Love this series.

Not Quite...

Not quite as bad as I was worried it would be. Author/narrator combinations can be dubious at time but Kaye did well with both!

a little dry and rough

both a book and a performance were a little rough. maybe it needed another edit cycle. the repeated words were unpleasant.

the concept is really cool and its nice to have representation of non binary people .
