Story
When ghostwriter Maz Amani inherits a house from an uncle he’s never heard of, he offers heartfelt thanks to the universe, packs up his car, his cat, and his skepticism about mysterious uncles leaving all their worldly goods to unknown nephews, and high-tails it to a small town halfway to the Oregon coast. Anything would be better than week after week of couch surfing his way around Portland. Even if the alleged house is a rundown shack ridden with termites, spiders, and—shudder—rats, he’ll deal. Because hey, he owns a house!

Dragons were dying. All over the world, a curse was taking us out one by one, and nobody knew how to stop it. I watched my mother burn, I watched my little brother fall sick. That's when Robby practically falls into my lap, with his big brown eyes and charming smile and his penchant for being hunted by vampires. After saving him twice from certain death, we soon come to realize that there's a reason he's being hunted. And that reason may be the answer to all our problems, and the start to a whole new set of them.

I’m such a cliché. Rich, successful… and bored out of my mind. A classic case of a midlife crisis probably, but instead of buying an expensive sports car, I go on a long business trip to Australia. Alone. I haven’t trusted myself to be with anyone since my best friend betrayed me, leaving me bleeding and heartbroken. Until a gorgeous surfer dude named Ocean falls into my lap. Literally. He’s unlike anyone I’ve ever met. Bossy, carefree, and somehow, he reads me like an open book. I agree to him staying with me in Melbourne so we can have a fling. With me in charge, obviously.

Sometimes being a crown prince was incredible, and sometimes you were just royally screwed. The Fenrir shifters had ruled Cadmeera successfully for thousands of years and Crown Prince Raz'mar Kinsharae was determined his reign would be as successful as his father’s. Unfortunately, no king could be crowned without bonding with an omega consort, an ancient magical ritual that had to take place first, and so far none of the omegas put forward were his bond mate.

Amazing!!!
This is my FAVORITE of Shadowy Solutions so far. I was absolutely hooked on the mystery, and I adore these two coming together so genuinely 😭 I feel like Diem made real strides forward while living with his struggles. And who can’t love Tallus? But let me tell you, the way Diem bodily protects Tallus in this one is one reason why Size Difference is elite.

A wonderful continuation!
I love opposites attract so much, and Diem and Tallus’s dynamic has filled that space for me from book 1. The mystery was intriguing, with no shortage of twists and turns, and the B&B from hell had me cracking up every time 😂
Major kudos to Nick J Russo for another stellar performance! I’ve started waiting for the audiobooks to experience these books for the first time, because I’ve been conditioned to need his accompanying narration! I’m especially in awe of his voice for Diem - it embodies gruff Diem to a T. Highly recommend these for anyone looking to jump into this series!

Small town, BIG SECRETS. and lots of clocks?
i was never a murder mystery Girly, After reading these books more and more i don't know if its how Nicky writes them or if its how things go but they are really growing on me.... Like Talus is to Diem!
a small town having a big issue, with you guessed it A TWIST! from the beginning to the end its all right there but you just need to make the connections,
my ONLY Issue is that Talus, wont stop complaining, but once Diem complains talus jumps his bones about it. or does the Full steam ahead INTO DANGER! the Number 1 rule of murder mysteries! never go ALONE!.

They’re boyfriends!
Tallus and Diem are back! Woohoo!
Every time Nicky James publishes a new audiobook, I kind of lose my mind. I binge the book and soak myself in her men. Then I sit down to write a review and struggle to find the right words to convey how amazing the experience of listening to her audiobooks is.
So…Tallus is studying for his PI licence. And is just 10 hours away from completion – as he reminds Diem every 10 minutes when trying to justify his actions. Diem, for his part, has nabbed a job in a small-town outside of Toronto – too far to commute. It’s clear there’s no case. It’s also clear he needs the money. Since his new client is willing to pay…he goes. And brings Tallus with him.
Okay – quick aside. The description of the B&B had me in stitches because that was basically my grandmother’s house minus the clocks. Sorry, Nanny, had to be said. I hadn’t been comfortable in her place and I sure wouldn’t have been in the B&B. So Diem had my complete empathy.
Aside over.
Tallus is more empathetic to the victim’s mother than Diem is capable of being (or at least so Diem contends). Which is why Diem brought his boyfriend in the first place. Yes, they’ve actually upgraded from f- buddies to boyfriends. Half the time I don’t think Diem can believe this either.
Now, this case is all about high school students. They’re better than 8th graders – but not by much. I don’t miss high school and these mouthy teens give Tallus and Diem a run for their money.
But all is not as it seems and it’s up to the two sleuths to solve the mystery.
I’ll be honest and say I did guess at one element early on, but the rest came as a surprise to me. Again, as with all of Nicky’s mysteries, this was well done. I loved it.
Nick J. Russo is brilliant in his portrayal of the two men – especially Diem’s rough voice. Everything about these stories just clicks and I’m thrilled to see there’s another one coming! Woohoo. So yes, you want to grab this one. And all the others if you haven’t and thank you for the Valor and Doyle cameo. More please!

I Just Love These Two So Much
Loved It. I enjoyed the mystery, but my favorite part was the connection between Talas and Diem, their relationship was getting stronger and more captivating in this book. Although I think this book can be enjoyed as a stand alone, it is much better to listen to previous books before this one to appreciate the amazing character development Diem and Talas are going through. Narrator was amazing, I love his voices for all the characters and he made this captivating mystery a perfect listening experience.

Can feel the emotions
Tallus and Diem are back. About 6 weeks after the last book, this core of this story occurs. This story starts at the end and then begins the retelling of the recent past. Love how they get engaged in a new case. A case filled with many twists and turns to keep both the reader and the characters on their toes. There are multiple characters that the guys have to interact with to work through the case. All these characters add great value to the story. The romance between Diem and Tallus continues to grow. I love the evolution of their relationship throughout this story. There are a few other things that stick out. The dog, the clocks, and so much more. What a great story.
Updated for audio:
Just love Nick Russo's portrayal of these guys. He must get tired of doing the deeper voice for Diem. He did an excellent job of emphasizing the emotion in this story. You could feel the emotions. The audio was just as excellent as the read through.

So Happy Diem & Tallus Are Finding Their Way
I love the grumpy/sunshine dynamic and Diem & Tallus are one of my favorites. This third book in the series is great! Diem and Tallus' relationship is evolving into something solid. Diem continues to break my heart with his struggles and he fights so hard to connect. I love how Tallus supports him and helps nudge him to open up. Add in a really intriguing mystery with enough twists and turns to keep me engaged and I didn't want to stop listening. The narration was superb and I am so glad there is going to be more books in this series.

emotional
Nick J Russo's voice for Diem is perfection. Diem is learning how to deal with his emotions and it just bleeds through the voice acting. And even though I want to wring Tallus's neck a few times, one chapter in particular, he's so good for Diem. They're relationships develops significantly in this book. Can't wait for the next one.

🎧⭐⭐⭐⭐🎧
I found that this book is more about Diem opening up to Tallus, even if it’s hard. He wants to be better, and he pushes himself each time. He pushes through some of his triggers because he doesn’t want Tallus to give up on him.
He might not have the words to show Tallus how he is feeling, but he sure is trying to show him with his actions. I did find him a little abrasive in this book, but I get it; he is in pain, and he is working through it. It’s an emotionally charged book, and Tallus does have a care. I just don’t think Tallus truly understands just how tortured Diem is from his past.
The case Diem and Tallus are working on is an interesting one. How I never know whodunit is a mystery to me. The cases are my favourite part of this series.
Nick J. Russo is perfection, I love the way he voices both of these characters; it adds so much richness to the story.
