Charlie Adhara
A former FBI agent is partnered with the enemy in this suspenseful male/male shifter romance from debut author Charlie Adhara.
Hunting for big bad wolves was never part of Agent Cooper Dayton's plan, but a werewolf attack lands him in the carefully guarded Bureau of Special Investigations. A new case comes with a new partner: ruggedly sexy werewolf Oliver Park.
Park is an agent of The Trust, a werewolf oversight organization working to ease escalating tensions with the BSI. But as far as Cooper's concerned, it's failing. As they investigate a series of mysterious deaths unlike anything they've seen, every bone in Cooper's body is suspicious of his new partner - even when Park proves himself as competent as he is utterly captivating.
When more people vanish, pressure to solve the case skyrockets. And though he'd resolved to keep things professional, Cooper's friction with Park soon erupts...into a physical need that can't be contained or controlled. But with a body count that's rising by the day, werewolves and humans are in equal danger. If Cooper and Park don't catch the killer soon, one - or both - of them could be the next to go.
Contains mature themes.

Featured Article: No Full Moon Needed—Here Are the 20 Best Werewolf Audiobooks to Listen to Right Now
Tired of listening to stories about humans? Consider the werewolf! Taking various forms over the course of centuries and mythologies, often as flesh-devourers, werewolves now commonly appear in fantasy and romance novels as shape-shifters. The shape-shifting element in werewolves' stories has almost humanized them, depicting the internal struggles we all face within ourselves, on some level or another.

It's really a bummer how bad the narration is, because this story (and indeed this series) is _amazing_.
From other reviews I expected the narration to be too fast, but (as other reviewers commented) you can fix the speed by setting the playback between 0.9 and 0.95x. I did this and it did fix the speed.
Unfortunately there are other issues with the narration. The narrator barely uses any inflection (he sounds bored?) which was a bummer. But the real deal-breaker for me is there is no vocal difference between the narration and the dialogue, and within the dialogue there is no vocal difference between any of the characters (male or female).
I wasn't long into the audiobook before I was totally lost as to what was happening. I had picked up enough of the story and the author's style to realize the book was good, but I just couldn't follow it from the narration. So I bailed on the audiobook and got the kindle version, which I devoured.
Storyline is great. The dialogue is really cleaver. But what is really stood out to me is the tension/angst/chemistry between the two MCs is just... palpable. This was my first time reading Charlie Adhara, but it won't be my last. Can't wait to get the next book in this series! (But since the narrator is the same for the next book, I'll skip the audiobook and go directly to Kindle)

Blomquist is newer to me, but overall did a solid job. There are some moments where he misses the mark, he is at times a bit rushed, and has a slight nasal tone, but he has a huge cast of characters to cover. He generally navigates this material well. I can see why he turns some listeners off, but in my opinion, he sounds believable for Cooper and Oliver, and as the series progresses, he has more challenging characters that he handles quite well.
The story takes some time to get going, and having finished the series before writing the reviews, I can say that my initial thought that Oliver Park is the more interesting character played out over the course of the five books. Cooper is written as the challenging guy, the one who has more to offer than he thinks he does. He is supposed to be in awe that someone like Oliver, who is polished, educated and gorgeous, could care about him. However, time and time again, the heart of the books comes back to Park. Coopers insecurity is a constant issue for me.
The way Adhara writes the wolves, there is a touch of tongue in cheek that is often missing. Compared to the self important Wolfsong, Wolf at the Door is a breath of fresh air. Cooper is still healing from a wolf attack, something that unexpectedly propels him to a governmental department that secretly deals with wolf crimes. He is partnered with wolf Oliver Park for a special assignment, and test to see what it would be like for mixed partnerships in the department. We learn that Park works for a similar agency on the wolf side of things.
The working relationship is as slow to grow as the romantic one, but both are worthwhile endeavors. There are some quirks and twists along the way to keep you guessing. This is a smartly crafted world that sets up an interesting pair that we really get to know over the course of the series. Highly recommended!
This is the wolf series you need!

He may not do multiple voices like I am used to...but he reads the book with the right inflection and emotion. I followed along and enjoyed every moment of the story.
Every narrator is different so I don't like to compare. I like his version of narrating, even without multiple voices for the characters.... HE IS NOT MONOTONE.
I repeat....Every narrator has their own style, and he made this book enjoyable.🙂🙂
Worth the listen!
