Beyond Reason

Beyond, Book 2

De: Lee McCormick

Narrado por: Zachary Zaba

Sometimes the hardest thing is being the only one left alive.

Axel Fetterman: The Cleaner

Twenty-two years ago, my world ended. I was called to a scene to find the man I loved, cold and lifeless, on the ground. Every moment between now and then has been nothing more than existing between one breath and the next while dealing with the grief of losing the one person I couldn’t live without.

When a man shows up at my door telling me he’s Xavier, I don’t know what to believe. On one hand, it’s impossible—on the other, I’ve never met another person who makes me burn the way he does. Is believing in the impossible too good to be true?

Xavier Benham: The Killer for Hire

Twenty-two years ago, I died. I don’t know how, and I don’t know why, but I’m alive again. Whatever screwed-up experiment brought me here, I won’t waste the opportunity. I can’t remember most of my life. I can’t remember much, but I can remember him. Axel.

I’ll do whatever I have to if it means getting back to him, and whatever it takes to become the man I used to be. The only thing standing in my way is the company that brought me back and their determination to rectify their mistake.

Beyond Reason is a dual POV dark romance with a twist on soulmates that answers the question of how long a man can wait for the person he’s destined to be with. Prepare yourself for angst, high heat, high emotions, and a killer for hire who is suddenly thrown into a world he doesn’t understand. Guaranteed HEA with a universe that’s wide open for exploration! Best listened to after Beyond Time.

Amazing

I enjoyed listening to this audiobook. The narrator did an amazing job reading the story.

I honestly enjoyed so much!

AN AUDIOBOOK I DEVOURED I MEAN LISTENED TO SO QUICKLY!!

I had the pleasure to read this as an ebook, and I couldn't get enough of Xavier and Axel! But to hear this story was just next level awesomeness! Loved!!

Love this series

I read and listened to this book and it’s love the story!!!! I can’t get behind the narration though … ugh

A love that goes beyond time, beyond reason 🖤

Xavier comes back to life after being dead for 22 years. When he wakes up, he doesn’t have all of his memories back, but his first thought is that he needs to find Axel, even though he didn’t fully know who Axel was to him. I love how this series is not only about reincarnation but how soul mates are tied to each other even across multiple lifetimes. Talk about swoon-worthy!

The beginning of this book ripped by heart out. Lee ripped it out of my chest and put it right through the shredder. The grief Axel experiences is utterly gut retching. Even after 22 years, the grief, loss, and heartbreak had never dulled for him. Axel battles within himself when Xavier comes back to him and the all-consuming terror that he may lose him all over again.

I adored Axel and Xavier. There is an intensity and an all-consuming love between them that is almost indescribable. This story was an utterly beautiful continuation to this series. The love that Axel and Xavier have goes beyond time, beyond reason. Absolutely nothing, not even death, will keep them apart.

Zachary Zaba isn’t one of my favorite narrators, but I think he did a good job with this one. I liked how you could clearly distinguish the different characters from his different voices and how he spoke. I think he did a really good job with Xavier’s accent. This story is full of emotion and heart break and that was clearly shown through the narration of the story.

Dark and exciting!

With Beyond Reason, Lee McCormick has written a perfect blend of dark romance and science fiction. The book is a seamless continuation of Beyond Time. The story is highly emotional and captivating. I can't wait to find out who the next installment is about. I hope it's Otto. I was fascinated by this character from the very first moment.

Highly recommended!


Zachary Zaba is one of my favorite narrators! With him you can clearly distinguish the different characters and the amount of emotion he puts into his interpretation of the stories is fabulous!

This was so freaking good. The story was heartbreaking and beautiful and the narration was just perfect. Zachary was able to give both these men a voice and what a performance it was 👏🏽🤌🏼

Reincarnation

Zachary did an amazing job bringing Lee’s book to life. This story is book two of the Beyond series. We follow a new couple Axel and Xavier (once Marshal from book 1). Xavier wakes up in the facility from book 1 with only one thing on his mind…Axel, not realizing over 20 years had passed since he died. Great story. Would recommend reading and/or listening to book 1 for better enjoyment.

Reincarnation mm romance

My review may contain spoilers for Beyond Time book 1! No spoilers for this book though! It was great visiting this world again. I love the unique world Lee McCormick has built. Xavier died 22 years before and came back as Marshall, the scientist that Clay stabbed with a needle of the medicine. But Xavier doesn’t have all his memories, they come back to him in pieces and flashes but he immediately remembers Axel. Axel has been devastated with the loss of Xavier for 22 years. So when a young man says he is Xavier it’s a little tough for him to believe and a lot hard to let him in because he doesn’t want to be hurt like that again. These two fight and make up a lot. They have to work through their own problems, Xavier not remembering everything and Axel’s fear that he will remember everything and he’ll lose Xavier all over again. This book has a lot of slow moments while Xavier is getting his memory back, tho they are being hunted by the facility that Marshall worked for. When everything goes sideways, an old acquaintance is called in to help, and here we see Kade and Seth again which was amazing! Absolutely adore those two. Axel and Xavier overcome a lot. Xavier isn’t in the kind of body he’s used to, and Axel has to get over that too. There is size difference, age gap, memory loss, reincarnation, lots of fighting, and some steamy times, makes for a fun read. Well written and such a creative new world. The narrator did an amazing job.
