Declan

It’s really hard to pretend like life is normal when you’re staring a monster in the eyes, though he’s both tempting and irritating in his human form. I put my days as a hunter behind me, unable to cope with the death and pain anymore, to become an upstanding citizen and for what? To assist Lake, a man who claims he’s not a monster but keeps talking about me like I’m edible and–even worse–wants to woo me? Between my old organization trying to pull me in and Lake proving that things aren’t quite what they seem, I’m dragged back into this world of fighting the things that humans fear the most.

Lake

The human is exquisite. The first moment he told me he was going to hunt me down, I felt my heart burst. He’s beautiful, sassy, angry, and going to be mine (even if he thinks he can refuse my charms). But what Declan doesn’t know about me is that there’s a reason I’m hiding as a human among monster hunters. And while he definitely doesn’t know why, he’s willing to work with me because the people around us strangely want Declan and me dead at the end of this (I mean, who would want to kill us? We’re amazing).

But honestly…what’s more fun than dragging a hunter off to the dark side?

Warning: This is a chaotic monster and a chaotic human. Stuff happens. People die (but they were bad, so it doesn’t matter, right?) and there’s plenty of humor alongside a budding romance.

I absolutely enjoyed this jewel. The grumpy Declan and the talky Lake are so entertaining.

In this world where monsters life among humans two men try make a life for themselves, a life different from the one others planned for them. Declan has grown tired of being a monster hunter, of endless killing and losing his friends and colleagues so often. But he has only quit his job for a few years when his boss wants the hunter back in business. Declan is determined to tell him no. But as he meets the new lab guy this man gives him the creeps. There is something about that guy that makes the hair on his arms stand and his cock hard. Which are two very different reactions. So is he going to fuck or kill Lake?

The book is written in two points of view. The interactions with Lake are mostly cheesy. Because he says this like "pet my hair before I die" and "you should not want to off your friends except when you're getting them off". He wears his smile like armor and often everyone is speechless about what he just dared to say with a wink. I had so much fun listening to Lake teasing Declan.

The only thing I could think of the make the audiobook better would have been two narrators. But the one did a great job.

Gay Paranormal Romance - I LOVE IT!

Okay, normalerweise mag ich die Dialoge von Alice Winters. Sie sind lustig und schlagfertig und charmant. Aber in diesem Buch ist es mir alles zu viel.
Declan ist noch halbwegs normal aber Lake haut ständig den Vogel raus. Und dann gibt es noch Emma, eine Kollegin von Declan, die sich brav für jeden Quatsch hergibt und den Männern hilft. Die Standardsätze, die ca. 100x wiederholt werden:
* Declan: "Aber er ist ein Monster!"
* Lake: "Ich bin einfach nur großartig!"
* Emma: "Ich will helfen."
Ein weiterer Protagonist war Sir Reginald. Ich dachte ja, dass dieser noch irgendeine erweiterte Bedeutung haben würde. Aber nix! Er diente Lake nur dazu, Declan auf die Palme zu bringen.
Dann war mir Mittens noch lieber. Sie hatte in der einen oder anderen Situation wenigstens noch einen Nutzen.
Nach dem letzten Kapitel wartete ich sehnsüchtig auf den Epilog, damit wenigstens ein paar der losen Enden verknüpft werden... aber es ist einfach Schluss. Ich war fassungslos und genervt.
Michael Ferraiuolo liest wie immer großartig. Insb. die Verfremdung der Stimmen der Monster hat mir gut gefallen.
Bin wirklich nicht sicher, ob ich mir eine Fortsetzung dieser Serie antun werde. Dafür habe ich zu viele andere vielversprechende Hörbücher, die auf mich warten.

Es ist einfach alles zu viel!
