Dommik was a monster, a Monster Hunter, and an alpha. Part of an elite group that dealt with the horrors of the universe. At least that was what everyone at the spaceport was whispering as he walked by.

A Cyborg, a hunter, a beast with eyes as dark as the pits of Hell and the stride of a predator. Katalina was a nobody who was intimate with death. It clung to her like a shroud, It followed her like the plague, and infected her like a parasite.

When she overheard that the Monster Hunter needed an assistant, she took the job. And when the Cyborg's eyes caught hers, she knew getting closer to death might just bring her back to life. The Cyborg didn't scare her. So she followed him and left fate up to chance.

Contains mature themes.

I waited until I listened to the first 3 books before making this review because I wanted to see if it developed more, the result is mostly no. Also, these books are almost a decade old from original written publication and really not the author's best work.

I love Naomi's Naga series so I was pleased to see this series in the Plus catalog, however most of the critiques are accurate, book 1 is disjointed. It is clear it was a lot of scenes stitched together instead of a cohesive story. It doesn't get much better with book 2 or 3 (which I almost didn't finish). As for this book 1, there are good parts like the world building. I loved the aliens and ended up wanting more of them and their human pairings because hybrids are mentioned. I generally liked the cyborgs background but Dom was a walking contradiction with his emotional monologuing and masterbation while claiming no emotions over and over again. Cat was an idiot. Not completely TSTL but pretty close. Both characters just reflected the sign of the times this book was written and that carries through to the next few books as well (hymen popping cliche and all). So, if this is free and you are looking for something new to listen to in between other books, have at it (my situation). Otherwise, I wouldn't recommend spending time or money on these books when the Author's other works (Naga Brides) is so amazingly better.

The whole story seemed disjointed. The relationship not developed enough for even a one night stand. Backstory was told on both characters, however not enough to get attached and drawn in. Maybe the next one will have a little more flow and substance.

The heroine: Katalina (a.k.a. Kat) - She spent her life as a caregiver to the dying. The last one was her own grandmother who seemed to die of the same thing her parents died of which was a parasite. She feels she must have the same parasite inside her and that she also will die before her time. With her grandmother dead, she wants to travel the galaxy and find some sort of cure for herself.

The Hero: Dommick - He is a Cyborg shifter (part tech, part human, part spider DNA). They call him a Monster or the Monster Hunter and he knows it. He thinks he is a beast and that no woman could ever have feelings for him.

The Story: While at the spaceport, Kat sees the Monster Hunter and hears how every time he is in port, he drops off different creatures, plants and flowers to be studied and as he is walking by her, he hears his bosses tell him that he needs to hire an assistant. She is determined to be his assistant as she thinks that the flora and fauna he collects might be the answer she is seeking.

This was a very odd one. Dommick had a lot of secrets and doesn’t want Kat to know just how much of a monster he actually is. When I found out he was a spider cyborg shifter, I thought I wouldn’t like this one, but I thought Dommick was cute. Especially how he was such a loner and how he sat around braiding ropes in his ship and tied them all over like his own web. He was rough and tough and had a tender heart.

I read the third book, Shark Bite first and liked it because it was different than the average alien romance. This was the same. I really liked the story and the characters. Kat was extremely open minded but had a thing about bugs and she was a bit of a hypochondriac. But everyone has their own foibles, so I enjoyed it.

Like Shark Bite this book was dual points of view, dual narration and narrated by Hollie Jackson and Alexander Cendese who both did a great job with these non traditional characters.

Kat and her monster!

I will say this was very out there. I am happy I read it and that I couldn’t predict it. I’m definitely going onto the next book. Curiosity and all...... 😀

Different but good

The plot of this one is really weak. The heroine thinks she's unwell during this whole story because her parents and grandmother died so she has this baggage during the whole book so it keeps her from giving herself to the cyborg because she thinks she's dying and that she's contagious. eventually they get together and not to spoil the story...well it's a HEA.

Cliche romance

Wow

Definitely an interesting concept if Xenophilia is if interest. A lot of concepts that haven’t been used before in the sci-fi romance tropes. I definitely plan to purchase and read the next volumes.

I didn’t k ow cyborgs count have Brooklyn accents

Definitely a new twist oncyborg stories. These stories involve high bread cyborgs that are crossed with animals. This particular book involves a cyborg that is mixed with a spider in addition to be part human. Overall, unique twist. Not my favorite book, but I would still would recommend.

Enjoyable. New twist on cyborgs

I enjoyed this audiobook. This is the first cyborg shifter book I have ever read/listened to and I really liked it. I enjoyed the Scifi in this book and the forced proximity.

Loved it

The writing was great and so weren’t parts of the story. I just can’t get past the MMCs cybernetic enhancements. Too spidery for me.

I think that the narrators were rather good. Both of their performances were entertaining. His was sometimes a bit overdramatic at times but depending on the listener’s preferences that can be good.
