Where Foxes Hunt with Wolves

M/M Paranormal Romance, Folk Lore, Book 2

De: K.A. Merikan

Narrado por: Wyatt Baker

"You are responsible for what you tame."

Yevhen. Forest ranger. Werewolf. Stifled by pack rules.

Radek. Foxy ginger brat. Changeling. Will avoid responsibility at all cost.

Banished from his pack for being gay, Yev has one last chance to redeem himself in the eyes of his family. He needs to stick to the rules for a year and bury his sexuality forever. Shouldn’t be so hard, since he can’t have a relationship with a human without revealing his werewolf nature.

That is, until one night, a drunk ginger brat points a rifle in his face.

Radek finished university months ago but thinking about the future is not on his agenda. Life would be great if he could just avoid any and all responsibilities.

He doesn’t want to be his mom’s caregiver, doesn’t want to take over the family fox farm, doesn’t want to return to his village, and doesn’t want a steady boyfriend.

His world turns upside down when he’s arrested by an infuriatingly attractive forest ranger. If that wasn’t bad enough, he’s now hunted by werewolves for discovering their drug-smuggling operation, and...he turned into a fox?

Helpless and wounded, he seeks sanctuary with the very man who got him into this mess, but what’s a fox to do? If there’s someone who can help him understand his changeling origin, it’s Yev. A werewolf.

Loved it

Whoa buddy! This was a great book! I was very impressed with the narrator! I loved the story! It was super hard to stop listening to it ... wonderful job!

5 star narration!

First, I loved the narration. I listened to 5 seconds of the sample and immediately grabbed this. I read about 60% of the book then switched to the audio and finally learned how to pronounce several words, haha. I do think it’s funny that Radek and Adam don’t have a polish accent, but Emil, Yev and Yev’s family have accents. I think it was to help differentiate characters, and I’ll forgive it, but it’s still funny.

I found the first book a little hard to get through - it’s really long and the pacing was rough in places - but I still rated it high because it was a really interesting story and I liked the main characters.

This book? I loved it from start to finish! We meet Radek in the first book as Emil’s sometimes f*ck buddy and a free spirit. He’s moved to a bigger city for college and to do all the things he couldn’t do growing up in a very small rural town. In this book, he’s visiting home in December and things quickly go from having a crazy house party to his life changing overnight.

Enter Yev - a gentle giant of sorts. He and Radek have a rocky start, but Yev has a big heart and a lot of empathy. I honestly loved how rock solid Yev was and how quickly he came to understand Radek. They become incredibly close in a short amount of time because they can finally be themselves with each other, Yev in particular.

The story itself was really interesting. There are some really tense spots but that feeling was never dragged out and things were either resolved quickly or the characters immediately started working towards a solution or outright addressed any issues. And, again, Yev and Radek are solid together, even when they have a few blow up moments.

And just know … there’s definitely some “monster f*cking” as the authors put it on TikTok hahaha. Those scenes are spicy!

I highly recommend not reading the blurb and jumping right into the story. You don’t have to read the first book and can read this as a stand-alone, but there will be some things about Emil (from the first book) that you won’t know or understand since Emil and Adam have some big secrets that they keep to themselves and are only revealed in the first book.

Never read anything like it!

Omg loved it soooooo much! This was not like any shifter book I’ve read before, K.A. Merikan never disappoints. One banished wolf shift and a fox “changeling” come together ♥️🐺🦊. There first meeting doesn’t go well, but they come together to well. I don’t want to say too much, highly recommend reading/listening to this one. Wyatt Baker does an amazing job... like always 🥰.

Solid follow up to first book

Really enjoyed the werewolf and fox changeling aspect in this one! This series may be one of my favorites from Merikan - the folk lore and paranormal aspects are SO intriguing.

Solid story

I really liked how this was written. It’s warm, romantic, and funny. The characters were their own, fully fleshed out, and felt believable. I also liked how the characters represented their animals - foxes are friendly, playful, ect and wolves are loyal, stand offish, and affectionate. I have read a lot of mxm and often times one is usually written in a really toxic manner but I think this author did a great job of being assertive, protective, without being controlling and over bearing. I think the world was really well built and defined.
