Story
Smart men never dabble with demons. I never claimed to be smart, but at least, I’m powerful enough to control them. When I bound Havoc to me nearly 300 years ago, I never realized how difficult he’d make my life, although “accidentally” lighting him on fire every now and then does bring a smile to my face. Havoc is handsome, mysterious, and somehow, my closest companion, even if we don’t always get along.

Cloister Witte is a man with a dark past and a cute dog. He’s happy to talk about the dog all day, but after growing up in the shadow of a missing brother, a deadbeat dad, and a criminal stepfather, he’d rather leave the past back in Montana. These days, he’s a K-9 officer in the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department and pays a tithe to his ghosts by doing what no one was able to do for his brother - find the missing and bring them home.

When the vampire stalking me sent me a letter, I was prepared for my new life with the man I love to get thrown into chaos. But as the days stretch on and nothing happens, I become determined not to allow that monster to rule my life and decide that Marcus and I will move on. We can’t always allow the past to haunt us. If that includes pestering Marcus and harassing my fellow detectives, they’d better learn to love it because I’m not going anywhere, even if they like to remind me I’m the only human working in a department filled with vampires.

Needing a cover for his presence in the Windy City, Patrick is ordered to investigate a politician running for mayor. In the lead up to Election Day, not everything is what it seems in a city where playing to win means appeasing the gods first and the electorate second.

Cosmo Saville adores his new husband, but his little white lies and some very black magic are about to bring their fairy tale romance to an end. Someone is killing San Francisco's spell casters, and the only person Cosmo can turn to - the man who so recently swore to love and cherish him - isn't taking his phone calls. The only magic police commissioner John Joseph Galbraith believes in is true love. Discovering he’s married to a witch - one with something alarmingly like magical powers - is nearly as bad as discovering the man he loved tricked and deceived him.

Publisher's Summary
The world ends not with a bang, but with a downpour. Tornadoes spin through the heart of London, New York cooks in a heat wave that melts tarmac, and Russia freezes under an ever-thickening layer of permafrost. People rally at first - organizing aid drops and evacuating populations - but the weather is only getting worse.
In Durham, mild-mannered academic Danny Fennick has battened down to sit out the storm. He grew up in the Scottish Highlands, so he’s seen harsh winters before. Besides, he has an advantage. He’s a werewolf. Or, to be precise, a were-dog. Less impressive, but still useful.
Except the other werewolves don’t believe this is any ordinary winter, and they’re coming down over the Wall to mark their new territory. Including Danny’s ex, Jack - the Crown Prince Pup of the Numitor’s pack - and the prince's brother, who wants to kill him.
A wolf winter isn’t white. It’s red as blood.

This is a gem!
First off, let me just say there is a mild cliff hanger ending. And I hate cliff hangers. But this one didn’t leave me feeling angry.
I loved Danny, and though I had some reservations about Jack, I feel I will like him better as the series goes on. As for their relationship, there’s a happy for now, but I didn’t feel it was all settled by any means. I didn’t see much written by TA Moore so I have no idea what the plans are for this as a series. It does have some differences from other shifter books that make it interesting. I’d like to also get to know the characters more in-depth. I’ll be watching for the next one. This better not be all!
I’ve loved Derrick McClain’s narration for quite awhile, but this is something different than what I’m used to. I think this is the first time I’ve heard him do anything other than American accents and he did a great job. Even in the background dialogue, he kept the Scottish accent going. It was very easy to distinguish all the different voices and you could hear the emotions being expressed. Personally, I’d probably listen to Derrick reading an encyclopedia and still be enthralled.

Post apocolypse with shapeshifters
I usually love shapeshifters, Post apocalyptic stories and author TA Moore. I struggled with this one. I never felt I understood any of the world building at all, the frozen setting never clearly described, the characters roles unclear and confusing. Danny is a dog shifter, Jack is a wolf shifter and there are monsters? werewolves? rogue shapeshifters on the loose in the midst of a new ice age? I am still not sure. I never felt I got to know Danny or Jack. This book certainly never felt like a romance, not even a hint of one. And the character of Jenny felt redundant. Was this supposed to be romance? Descriptions were vivid, but the storyline was vague. Derrick McClains narration was amazing. A real bright spot in this audio. I feel that if I had been reading this book, it might have been a DNF, but I listened to all because of Mr McClains wonderful voice and lovely accents.

Alpha Jerk love interest
I thought Jack the love interest of the hero was a brute, who just threw his weight around, and treated his boyfriend Danny like he was a commodity there to please him. Although I found the world building interesting, I couldn't overcome the fact that I grew to detest Jack and his thuggish family. I couldn't finish this one.

Great start to a new series
I really enjoyed the book & liked both Danny & Jack. I couldn't stand Jenny & thought she had way too much page time. Obviously something is happening in the world but most people don't seem to notice or really care. With the way the weather patterns are, you would think there would have been more a "its the end of the world" mentality. But it's more, oh yea it's snowing in September. The story did end on a cliffhanger & I have to run off to read the next book as I need to know what happens.

Derrick McClain's narration is freaking awesome!!!
I received a free copy of this audiobook to listen to and review for Wicked Reads.
Dog Days is a fascinating story, but I believe I would have been better served to have read it or at least read along with it. I say that because I think this is an audiobook that I’ll need to listen to several times before I hear everything I’m supposed to (I’m at two listens now). Fortunately for me, Derrick McClain does a superb job in narrating the book – love the Scottish accents – and I’m looking forward to listening to it again… and again… and again. Truth be told, I got three chapters in and had to go back to the beginning to make sure I knew how the main players fit together. This is not on the author, nor the narrator, this is all on me. Despite my love of m/m audiobooks, I’m a visual learner at heart and there were just a few too many moving pieces in the beginning for me to grasp them all on the first listen. But that’s what the restart command is for – Alexa, restart my book. Did I already mention how much I enjoyed listening to McClain’s narration? Moving on…
One of the things I enjoy about male/male shifter romances is that you never know how a pack is going to react to a m/m pairing until you actually read or listen to the book. The genre provides a range of completely accepting packs to those that will kill or exile the “abomination.” In Moore’s Dog Days, it’s not quite so clear cut because Jack’s exile isn’t strictly because he prefers men, but more because he’s exclusive to men, refusing to procreate with a female AND because he has a twin brother, Gregor, who is willing to mate to produce an heir. In fact, I got the feeling (and this is where I think I would have benefited from reading the book) that the twins’ father had to name an heir and then exile the other son, and Jack’s not-quite-so-fluid sexuality made him the obvious choice for exile. Perhaps making Jack’s male-only preference worse is that his attention – at least for a while – belonged to a dog shifter rather than a full-blooded wolf shifter.
While the opening chapter seems to focus on Jack, Dog Days is actually Danny’s story. Unlike most wolf and dog shifters, Danny doesn’t want to be part of pack, preferring to live among humans, attending school and working as a human. But Mother Nature has turned everyone’s world upside down – both the humans and shifters – and Danny finds himself pulled back into a pack when Jack shows up to warn him of the Wolf Winter and the Numitor’s plans. To make matters worse, victims of fatal animal attacks begin to show up within days of Jack’s arrival… and so does Gregor. When Danny and Jack discover that Gregor isn’t the one framing Jack, things go from bad to worse to deadly as they must fight an unknown enemy who seems to be as determined to kill them as Mother Nature does.
Although I referred to shifter romances earlier, Dog Days is more focused on the conflict and action than it is on the romance. It’s actually a bit on the grittier side as Danny gets caught in the middle of Jack’s fight with his brother, as well as another entity who seeks to rule over the shifters, all while trying to survive apocalyptic weather conditions. I can’t say there weren’t feelings between Danny and Jack in the beginning of the book – after all, you generally have to have some degree of love for a person for them to be able to exasperate you much as they did one another – but I’d be hard pressed to say that they were in love. And while there was some definite relationship development over the course of the book, the most obvious being towards the end, I’m still not sure that they were in love by the end of the book – at least not in the traditional romance novel manner. To me, it felt more like a relationship that forms when a mating bond occurs between two close friends (with benefits). There’s a definite shared history there and strong feelings for one another; and while there may be love between them, they’re not to the point of being in love with each other – if that makes sense. I actually found Jack and Danny’s relationship to be refreshing and felt it went well with the overall feel of the book. While I loved how the author left the ending open in such a way that a sequel could be written but isn’t necessarily required, I WANT A SEQUEL!!! I want more of Jack and Danny and yes, even Gregor… especially if Derrick McClain is narrating.

Dog Days is a different kind of shifter story. It is creative but not exactly what you might expect.
There is very little romance or love in it and the characters are not endearing to the reader. Nevertheless, it is a story that holds the reader’s attention as all kinds of weather phenomenon pass through the plot. Centered on old tales and ancient history, it is quite properly read in the audiobook version by a narrator who has a Scottish accent. Sometimes his accent is so think it can be a little bit hard to understand, so I was glad I had both the pdf and the audio versions to follow along with at the same time.
There is a difference between werewolves and weredogs, as is brought up in the story. I really didn’t understand if there was or was not an attraction between Jack and Danny, but it didn’t seem to matter much. Also the weather didn’t really make a large difference to the story. The plot is a little bit slow and the ending was unexpected and not particularly satisfying. The book is well written and well researched, though. I recommend it for those who love historical fiction.
