Publisher's summary

Some days, an elf can't get a break.

I'm overworked, underpaid, and underappreciated, and up to my lavender eyeballs in missing and murdered shifters. To make matters worse, I've acquired a dog.

Sort of.

He's not actually a dog. I don't know his name or anything about him other than the fact that he's mostly hairless and is blind in one eye-and he's a witness to one of the unsolved shifter murders that's keeping me up at night. We found him at a crime scene, injured and scared, and I just can't make myself lock him up for obstruction of justice, even though I probably should.

He won't shift back, so here I am with a dog that isn't a dog following me everywhere and eating off my plate every time I turn around.

The weirdest part is that I'm not sure I want to go back to living without him constantly underfoot.

Contains mature themes.

Heart to Hart

I really enjoyed the first book in this arc with Hart and Tavi. I had already read the e-book and was so pleased with the performance of the audiobook. It’s a perfect continuation of the series and a great beginning of a new arc, while still letting me hang out with the cast of characters that I’ve grown to love in the previous books.

Characters

Loved this sequel and enjoyed narrators voice . What I would have really liked if they could combine both narrators of the series . I got really used to Ward , Mason and Sylvia voices as portrayed by Daniel Henning . I think adding Harts new narrator would be the perfect touch . That being said I can’t wait for the next book way to go KM Avery ! 😘😘

This whole series is different and amazing. I enjoyed continuing story with Hart and now Taavi! I have all this books in this series (that are out) and am loving the audio, which,brings it to life! Declan Winters is a terrific narrator! He has a sexy voice and does Hart Perfect! I am so excited for the next series.

Absolutely perfect!

This series is a favorite of mine, and its SUCH a treat having it on audio. The narrator was utterly perfect, and I'm just so thrilled about listening to the next two books after this. This series is much more realistically narrated than the previous series, which I personally love, with less overt "voices" but still with really excellent differentiation between characters. His Taavi, Hart, Ward, and Mason voices are terrific. As for the story, as I said, it's a long-time favorite for me. The balance between everyday moments/slow burn and moments of tension is excellent, and I appreciate the author tackling difficult subjects. The fantasy world she created is a great metaphor for many issues we face in our real world, and I think she handles them with both empathy and firmness of conviction. Also, her characters are always worth following, as their growth is well-earned.

Definitely give it a listen, whether or not you've read the first series (though you might find it a lot easier to follow if you do read them). I sure hope the rest of the series comes out soon!

POV surprise

It took at least an hour of listening before I got used to this book not being about Ward and Mason. And then adjusting to Hart's new voice, because his voice in prior books was very distinct. The story is good though. And probably a good thing Hart's voice changed since he's the main character. However, I fell in love with Ward and Mason and didn't really care for how they seemed to be portrayed more arrogant and even a bit condescending. I've read descriptions of the balance of the books in this series and there don't seem to be any more featuring them so I am choosing not to continue... at least for now. Need to get over my double disappointments.
