Caught in the fallout of a rare disease and members of opposing packs, Zander and Marrok’s future as fated mates hangs in the balance.

Alexander Kingston wasn’t destined to lead the East Territory pack, but fate had other ideas. Becoming the next Alpha in his dead brother’s place and managing his father’s expectations is a challenge, one that’s only getting harder with time. When his father, the Alpha, is reluctant to accept outside assistance when one of their own is afflicted with a deadly blood disorder, Zander must take a stand against his father or lose another pack member to the Slow Death.

Marrok Blain is part of the North Territory pack. With his unique knowledge of the Slow Death, the debilitating progressive disorder that slowly kills with every shift, he offers help, knowing he’ll be met with resistance from his friend’s pack. What he doesn’t expect is the overwhelming pull to the stubborn yet undeniably gorgeous son of the East Territory Alpha.

Four packs coexisting with rising tensions, and a genetic disorder that reminds them of the common thread that connects them all. Zander and Marrok are the key to an uneasy alliance, or all the packs will suffer. Especially Zander, who discovers he’s got one more deadly fight to face.

A very good read. I trully enjoyed it.
An interesting plot with mostly loveable characters (I didn't like Merrick in the beginning but once he stopped being a dick, I liked him) and great/very hot sex scenes. It was dragging a bit towards the end though.
The narrator also did a great job.
I'll gladly read the next book!

A very good first book

This was just one of those books that captures you and doesn’t let you go until the last second and then lingers in the back of your mind. I loved the main characters, their chemistry together and the way they built up their relationship. I loved the communication that they used and I found that the heat between them was very believable.

This book has convinced me that I need the next book in the series as well. Fantastic work

Brilliant

Narrator - on the whole, a pleasant voice, although sometimes the pacing is different than I expect.
Story - a shifter story with a difference - as it includes the struggle with a very painful disease that scientists have been working some time to treat. A very good friend of both MCs appears untreatable, and while working together to find a donor, the MCs discovered they were mates. Lots of pack politics and an interesting start to a series.

I've not read the book so this story was all new to me and I had no preconceptions of how a character should sound. First of all I liked this story, it flowed nicely and was different then the norm. The characters and plot held my attention and it had great chemistry. An entertaining story that I will follow up with the 2nd book when released.
The narrator was new to me, he was clear and I could follow him well with him reading the story. The only gripe and which made me take a little bit longer with getting into the story was, im not sure how to describe it but the way he said things and the delivery of them. It's like I concentrated on the lilting pattern on how he sounded words out. This was my pet peeve, but once I got over that I could enjoy the story and characters voices.

In the end I enjoyed the listen

This is the first book I’ve read by BL Maxwell but I’ve listened to others by Guy Veryzer. Honestly, I wasn’t sure I was going to enjoy this audiobook too much because I’ve listened to a couple of other short books by this narrator and I didn’t like them all that much. I was very pleasantly surprised to enjoy his narration of this one.

The story is also really good but there is an over-arcing storyline that won’t be concluded until the final book. I think the concept of “the slow death” affliction for certain shifters and the cure for it was pretty original.

The world building was really good and Zander and Marrock have a few things to overcome in order to help preserve the pack. I’m now anxious to read the next two books in this series (not yet published as of this writing) and hope they come to audio.

A complimentary copy of this audiobook was provided to me at my request but my review was voluntary and not influenced by the author and/or narrator.

I enjoyed listening to this.
