My rating: 4 of 5 stars
One, two, things are changing for you. Three, four, monsters at your door. Five, six, no one could predict. Seven, eight, you learn they’re your mates. Nine, 10, it’s time to fight again.
Paige Alice has changed, but she’s not sure if that’s a good or bad thing.
The good. Four annoying and different types of men, who she trusts with her life. A scary but faithful sidekick, and of course, her crazy family.
The bad… Everything else.

A Vampire, a shifter, a mage and a ghoul!

The heroine: Paige – she was a barista with a sister she loved. Her sister had a husband and kids, but Paige had only had one real boyfriend, and he was no winner. She recently lost some time, and woke up in a grave she had to climb out of. She found a huge beast of a dog who took care of her and helped her to get what she hungered for, human flesh. She had been turned into a ghoul. Though she had no idea how or who turned her, she could only live her life and try to find answers.
The Heroes: Asher, Nate, Alex, Thorn – Asher was a vampire, Nate a wolf shifter and Alex was a young mage. They were a team, working for the supernatural council to keep the supernatural world under wraps from humans and solving supernatural crimes. Thorn was a ghoul who worked for the former ghoul queen. He was tasked with being there for the new queen and protecting her once the former queen died.
The Story: Paige was supposed to meet her sister and family at a restaurant one night. When she gets there, three supernatural male officers are outside, and she is able to get through their wards and she finds out there is a hostage situation going on inside. She sneaks into the restaurant and finds that a demon is holding the restaurant hostage, and she is able to get between him and all the humans in the restaurant. In the scuffle, she goes through some kind of change and suddenly feels her heart start beating again.
Paige meets Thorn and finds out that she is the new queen and is in danger since demons are after her. She needs to go to the castle and take her place as queen. Asher, Nate and Alex will not allow her to go with Thorn whom she just met, so they all end up going with to get answers. Paige also brings her family and the hellhound who had been watching over her.
This is a good story so far. I liked the fact that there are so many different types of supernaturals. Though ghouls eating human flesh is much more gross that vampires drinking the blood. I liked the fact that this was a reverse harem, and it was bisexual as well. The guys liked being with each other as well as Paige. Though they were somewhat weird about it. I though that was kind of funny. This book pretty much set up the story for the rest of the trilogy.
This audiobook was told in dual points of view via dual narration and was narrated by Troy Duran and Aletha George. Troy Duran is one of my favorite male narrators. He has a super deep voice and is great at using different voices for different characters. He always does a terrific job. Aletha George has a great voice and is perfect for Paige.
