Summary

Eli and Dag survived a monster. Two monsters, in fact.

A year later, though, they’re still trying to settle into a regular life. Dag is working hard in school. It’s not going great. Eli is working hard at…being a better Eli. He’s eating right. Most of the time. He’s thinking about exercise in healthy ways. He’s okay with how he looks, as long as he doesn’t walk past any mirrors.

He goes out some nights, though. He goes across the lake, back to Bragg, where the monsters were. And he’s not sure why. He’s not sure what keeps calling him back. When a woman is brutally murdered and an eyewitness claims to have seen the killer transform into a mysterious light, Eli and Dag are forced to set aside their own problems and face a difficult truth: There is another monster out there. Worse, there doesn’t seem to be anybody else who can stop it from killing again.

But not all monsters are the same, as Eli and Dag discover. And the most dangerous monster might be the one who can give you what you’ve always wanted.

Strange Happenings

Strange things are happening around Eli and Dag in this second installment in the contemporary horror/mystery DuPage Parish Mysteries series. Unlike the first book, both men know about the monsters that exist, but the horror-mystery that made the first book so addicting is still present throughout Cascade Hunger. Both characters face not only external conflicts, but also must deal with internal conflicts that affect their relationship. Gregory Ashe does a fantastic job navigating these sensitive subjects while also writing Eli and Dag so well that they feel like real, complex, and flawed people. The story also has its funny moments that help to alleviate some of the plot tension, and I absolutely adore Dag's parents. They are hilarious. I can't wait to see what happens next in this series.

Declan Winters does a fantastic job with the narration. I loved his performance and I was completely addicted to this audiobook. The audiobook production was well done, and the narration was smooth and easy to listen to.

Eli & Dag are at it again

I enjoyed the first paranormal book in this series and so was interested to see where this book would go. I’m a huge Gregory Ashe fan. His couples are always quirky and interesting. Hazzard and Somerset, as well as North and Shaw, are two of my all-time fave gay couples. So I’ve nabbed every audiobook I could get a hold of. I’m not always a huge paranormal fan, but I wanted to see where this series would go.

The story was good. Another creature killing people. A mystery only Dag and Eli can solve. Plenty of suspicious behavior from various suspects, and an unexpected murder kept me guessing. On a personal level, I’m still struggling with Eli’s eating disorder. I can see it as part of the character arc and I’m really hoping it gets adequately resolved in the third book. I also felt bad for Dag as he struggled to balance school, Eli, and killing monsters. Oh, and his ex-boyfriend thrown in for good measure.

The location of the stories works as well – the bayou down near New Orleans. A place I’ve always been curious to visit. Anyway, I got a satisfactory ending, but I suspect there’s more and I’ll be eagerly awaiting it.

Finally, I’ll mention Declan Winters. I wasn’t familiar with the narrator before, but he’s just perfect for the role. Like I said, waiting for the next one.
