Story
Mark believes he’s meeting Jimmy for the first time in the diner where he works, but he’s wrong. Mark has no recollection of their original encounter because the wholesome Jimmy of today couldn’t be more different than he was two years ago. Back then, Jimmy sported multiple piercings and facial hair. He was painfully skinny—and a meth addict. The drug transformed him into a lying, conniving thief. Mark doesn’t associate the memory of a hookup gone wrong with this fresh-faced 20-something…but Jimmy knows. Can Mark see Jimmy for the man he is now?

But I’m in Porter’s Peak for a reason, and I’m not about to let a pack of wolves drive me away. And I’m certainly not going to fall into bed with the alpha...not even if he says we’re fated mates.

As we grow closer, my resolve to stay out of his arms is slipping.

Story
Theo Decker might be the lead singer of Riven, but he hates being a rock star. The paparazzi, the endless tours, being recognized everywhere he goes - it all makes him squirm. The only thing he doesn't hate is the music. Feeling an audience's energy as they lose themselves in Riven's music is a rush unlike anything else...until he meets Caleb Blake Whitman. Caleb is rough and damaged, yet his fingers on his guitar are pure poetry. And his hands on Theo? They're all he can think about. But Caleb's no groupie - and one night with him won't be enough.

Story
Jean-Pierre’s greatest gift was a lack of feelings. His past had ripped them away. But then he saw Eden. Onstage, she played her violin, spinning his head with songs he’d tried to forget. Unable to stop himself, he makes Eden his obsession. And unlike any normal man, he takes what he wants. But there’s someone in the shadows blocking his path. His plans for Eden won’t be so simple. This mystery person sends Russians his way, igniting a war with the Bratva. It’s too bad that there’s no limit to his obsession for her - no force that can stop him, no bullet to get in his way.

A Horror, Mystery Suspense/thriller & Gay Romance
Where does The Blue Moon Cafe rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
The Blue Moon Café is a horror mystery suspense/thriller and gay romance all in one that will pull you in, scare the crap out of you and have you rooting for the unlikely relationship between human and werewolf. Non-traditional in that it strays from modern-day romantic epics and ends with a shocking surprise that just might break your heart. One of the best audiobooks I've listened to in years!
What did you like best about this story?
The horror, suspense and wonderful love story between two unlikely men.
Have you listened to any of Topher Samuels’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Yes, and I really enjoyed Mr. Samuel's smoothe, calming voice, which he ratcheted up at the terror and suspenseful portions to scare the crap out of me!
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Scare the crap out of me!
Any additional comments?
I usually listen to audio books (the unabridged versions) via headphones traveling on hours-long plane rides or driving long trips alone. So when a book I’ve had my eye on was released in audio book format recently, I decided to take a chance and listen while in my car – which proved quite often as I found myself looking for places to go, errands that needed doing so I could listen to Rick R. Reed’s suspenseful, romantic thriller, The Blue Moon Café.
Taken from the blurb for both print and audio format: “Someone–or something–is killing Seattle’s gay men...” Something moves in the dark night at full moon hunting and killing gay men in the places they gather. The protagonist is Thad Matthews, a young gay man done with relationships and certainly not ready–or willing–to take yet another dive for the perfect dream that presents in the form of a sexy, super compassionate, masculine, hairy and handsome Sicilian restaurant owner and chef, Sam Lupino.
Reed begins The Blue Moon Café with his signature terror/horror prose, which he is well-known for delivering, quickly ensnaring the reader–or listener in my case–with heart-racing, pulsating suspense. Vivid detail and full-moon-lit scenery ratchets up anticipation and ushes the listener forward, sans trepidation. Reed tempers the heightened elements of the novel with a strong romance that provides a little distraction from the bloody killings.

A bit too "normal gay"
Would you try another book from Rick R. Reed and/or Topher Samuels?
I would give both a try, Topher Samuels is in the middle ground of narrators, he does not excel but his voice does not grate on the ears like some readers alas do.
Rick R. Reed builds most of his ensemble iut of the typicsl gay party goer and bar scene, well, personally, I have more a thing for larger than life characters or plots and am not to much into bears...
Did Topher Samuels do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?
Hmh, it was okay, though his Italian pronounciation seemed a bit off to me, unless he was deliberately trying for a Sicilian accent (I don't know how that would sound, but I dare to think it is mostly just the English/American trouble with foreign languages).
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
Hah, well, it might actually do okay as a movie, so, why not?
Any additional comments?
I thought the book mostly suffers from being a bit too ordinary, if you seek something big and epic with paranormal elements, this is not it.
The story most likely would have worked well without the werewolf plot, just replacing it with a normal serial killer.
I felt the whole thing suffered a bit under too little detail and attention being put into things, the characters don't really manage to create true sympathy for them...
It is not a bad story just, not a good one either, and its likely biggest asset, being a paranormal story that is gay and not m/m did not really catch me and I am gay myself...
All in all, I really prefer the quirkier, less realistic, dramatic and over the top m/m stories to this.

I never write reviews.
I was severely disappointed in the ending of this book. Also, as a general criticism for the entire book, the complete lack of werewolf lore (or even a true glimpse into this book's pack universe) really upset me as this book is billed as a werewolf story. I kept waiting for the payoff but it never came. What is the point of a supernatural universe if the reader doesn't ever get an understanding of it? The entirety of the werewolf/wolf/supernatural plot elements could have been dropped altogether and this book may have turned out to be a fairly okay/run-of-the-mill (read: disappointing) mystery; but there was definitely little to no suspense - the 'whodunnit' plot was ruined immediately as it is very apparent who the antagonists are. The characters were likeable enough, but I certainly don't think a clear case was ever really made over the course of the story that supported the conclusion/resolution to the book. Again, extremely disappointed and a bit bewildered at the ending - zero resolution to the romance/relationship plotline, zero resolution to the human side of the crime and how that all resulted. That could be book 2 in a series, I suppose, but I am not sure I could bring myself to read it after feeling such disappointment at this book. I may have expected too much.
