Book description
The story opens in a way that feels like a breath before a thunderclap. I'm Mercedes Athena Thompson Hauptman, and this is my world in motion. A thirty-five pound coyote, a Volkswagen whisperer, friends in odd places, a pack of werewolves in my rearview. It's not a quiet life. It's a symphony of howls, clacks of a car, and whispers of the fae that used to roam Underhill.
When the fae locked their doors, they left castles, artifacts, and prisoners. Those prisoners, the ones who didn't die, roamed free, causing havoc in the silence. Only the deadliest survived. And now, one of those ancient prisoners is out. It's a shape-shifter, a parasite that can take anyone's form. One bite and it takes control. Chaos, destruction, compulsion to kill the person you love. That's the kind of terror that turns a city into a battlefield of wills.
The Tri-Cities is no longer just a backdrop; it's a battleground. I've got to gather my pack, my odd-place friends, and confront this creature that lives for chaos. The voice that narrates this audiobook carries my coyote voice, my sharp humor, and the raw edge of a woman who's seen too many nights. Each sentence slides into the next like a breath, like a heartbeat. The narration never pauses for me to catch my breath - it just keeps going, the way a story should.
The pacing feels like a long run. There are moments when the sound of my paws on pavement, the hiss of a creature, the clang of a Volkswagen door. There are quiet breaths that let you sit back, breathe, and feel the weight of the Tri-Cities under the moon. The audio brings the characters alive - the werewolves, the fae, the creature itself. The creature's voice is not just a threat but a presence that lingers.
I'm telling you, if you're into supernatural, urban fantasy, or a story where a woman with a coyote's soul is saving her city from an ancient parasite, this audiobook delivers. The sound is a soundtrack to the plot. It's fast, it's tense, it's full of raw emotion. You'll hear me, Mercedes, in every moment, turning to a coyote when the stakes get higher, and hearing the clunk of a Volkswagen as we ride through the chaos. The story's heartbeat, and the narrator's voice, will keep you on the edge, and the ending will leave you holding your breath, wondering if that creature can be stopped.
