I didn't want to stop listening.

I didn't want to stop cleaning my house so I could listen to this whole book. As it was, I did complete this book in 3 days with interruptions, and that is quicker than I listen to most audiobooks.

The narrator did a brilliant job of making each character have distinct voices. I like when I can picture male versus female characters as I listen even though it is just one person doing the narration.

The story is engaging. It has all the elements that I love in a book: characters to cheer for, a love story, action, and redemption. This book focuses on Michael Vincent who was controlled by the evil werewolf in the first book, Bound. He's learning to live with the actions he committed while he was under a spell by keeping separate from his former pack.

The best part about this series is even if you aren't into werewolves, witches, vampires, or demons, the characters of the story make you want to read on. In that way, I compare these books to the Twilight series, because the books took away my fear of monsters. Not all werewolves and vampires want to kill humans just for sport or food. Even though I knew it was fiction or fantasy, I was a chicken and avoided the genre. With werewolves like Michael Vincent, I want to join his pack.
