The Half Wolf

De: Jay Northcote

Narrado por: Hamish Long

Mate, family, pack, home... Can Quinn and Kellan have it all?

Quinn grew up feeling out of place in the small town he calls home. Yearning for something he can’t name, he’s always felt different but never known why.

Kellan is part of a nomadic shifter pack. When they set up camp in the woods near Quinn’s town, the humans are unwelcoming and suspicious of the newcomers. The moment Kellan catches sight - and scent - of Quinn, he knows Quinn is special. But for the first time in his life, Kellan can’t trust his instincts. Quinn is human, and Kellan is a wolf shifter, so how can they ever be mates?

Their bond is instant and exhilarating. It breaks Quinn’s heart to know their relationship can only be temporary. Love isn’t enough when pack law forbids shifters to mate with humans. Tension explodes between pack and humans, and when Quinn discovers a shocking truth about himself that changes everything, he fears he’ll have to choose between the only life he’s ever known and the man he loves.

another decent story made great by narrator

cute story. spoiler.
.sorta... the title gives the whole story away but the story's fun eben if completely predictable. I was very pleased we were presented the world as it was and there was no attempt to explain the origins... of course, Hamish Long's performance raised it by 2 stars. thanks.

Good listen

A good listen, narrator had a pleasant voice.
Story line was sweet and action filled, if at times somewhat predictable.

All over a good listen.

Hot MM Shifter Romance

After Quinn's parents die, one before he was born, one a few days after. He was raised by his Aunt. He helps run her shop in a small town where everyone knows everyone and thinks they know everything. Being gay in a small town is not easy. And to be honest it's kinda boring. So when a traveling pack of shifters show up right outside of town things start getting more interesting especially when Kellan walks into the shop.

All Kellan wants to do is help his pack in anyway he can. But people are still wary and speciesist about shifters. Finding a job in any town especially small ones is hard but it's harder in this specific one bc people have long memories about conflicts decades before where lots of shifters and humans died. Ever since as a rule shifters do not mate with humans. Even hooking up is frowned upon. But when Kellan enters Quinn's shop he's instantly intrigued. Quinn smells different than any shifter or human he's ever met. And after Quinn points him to the only person in town hiring who isn't prejudice against shifters Kellan can't seem to stay away from Quinn. His inner wolf loathes it when they kiss goodnight after their nightly swims and go their separate ways. And even though Kellan knows this all will have to end when his pack leaves, he still can't seem to stay away. But when a lone wolf is killing livestock and the pack is being blamed bc most of the town's people don't believe them, it looks like the pack's departure date is getting closer and closer.

Truths are reveled. Hope is restored and there might be a future between Quinn and Kellan after all.

Shifters in Wales!

I love this fresh take on shifters. The world building was well done, the strained relationship between humans and the werewolves. Kellan and Quinn are fascinating characters. The prevalence of bigotry and outright hatred for no reason than prejudicial bias towards shifters, it's well portrayed and actually mirrors current modern society, so there's a lesson to be learned from this story as well.
I wouldn't mind reading more from this small town and their residents, both humans and shifters. I'm hoping it becomes a series.
This is my first Hamish Long listen. He brought the story to life!

Great listen!

This is such a great listen. Kellan and Quinn are such great characters and I love their story. These two are so cute together and the story is filled with action. Hamish Long really brings this story to life. It was so great to listen and I couldn't stop listening.
