About this listen
Dev is a football player at Forester University, a small liberal arts college where he and his teammates get to strut around and have their pick of the girls on Friday nights. That's as good as it gets - until he meets Lee, a fox with a quick wit and an attractive body.
Problem is, Lee's not a girl. He's a gay fox, an activist who never dreamed he'd fall for a football player. As their attraction deepens into romance, it's hard enough for them to handle each other, let alone their inquisitive friends, family, and co-workers. And if school is bad, the hyper- masculine world of professional sports that awaits Dev after graduation will be a hundred times worse.
Going it alone would make everything easier. If only they could stop fighting long enough to break up.
Kyell Gold's fourth novel is a story of relationships, of finding oneself and learning to live with someone else, set in the contemporary fantasy world that was the setting for his acclaimed novel Waterways: joint Winner of the 2009 Rainbow Award for Best Gay Novel; Winner of the 2009 Ursa Major Award for Best Novel.

If Sol can just survive his last year of high school, he can escape his homophobic small town and go live with his Internet boyfriend for the summer.

Story
When Alexei seeks the help of a ghost to deal with a swaggering bully, he gets the strength and confidence he hopes for. If in the process, he hurt his best friend Sol, well, he can make it up to the wolf later. Things get worse when the ghost, an old Siberian soldier, demands that Alexei give up his gay life, which Alexei fled his home country for. The young fox is resolved to send the ghost away--until his sister, left behind with their abusive parents, falls into mortal danger from which only the ghost can save her.

Meg's always thought that love and ghosts are fantasies for gullible people, but her skepticism is about to be tested. As her roommates Sol and Alexei move on with their lives, Meg remains stuck in her rut, unsure what to do about her future or about her best friend Athos. He wants more than friendship from her, but she isn't sure whether she's straight or gay, let alone in love with him. Not helping are the strange trances that show her the lives of two other young girls - one who wants to be a voodoo priestess, and the other who wants to escape a Christian cult.

Furry fandom is a recent phenomenon, but anthropomorphism is an instinct hard-wired into the human mind: the desire to see animals on a more equal footing with people. It’s existed since the beginning of time in prehistoric cave paintings, ancient gods, and tribal rituals. It lives on today - not just in the sports mascots and cartoon characters we see everywhere, but in stage plays, art galleries, serious literature, performance art, and among furry fans who bring their make-believe characters to life.

Conquering dungeons and using them to grow has long been the most efficient way to become a powerful adventurer. The only thing keeping the process from being easy is the Beasts that inhabit these places. Questions plague those entering this particular place of power: Where do the ‘rewards’ of weapons, armor, and heavy gold coins come from? Why is a fluffy bunny charging at me? For abyss-sake, why are there so many monsters? Cal has all of the answers to these age-old questions for a very simple reason. He is a Dungeon Core, a soul forced against his will into a magical stone.

First audiobook ever, and its a roller coaster
When I start reading a book, I either get bored before the end of chapter 1, or I get swept up with in the adventure, the emotion, and the expectations. This was a headbanging ride of the latter, the first time in my life I was genuinely shivering with anticipation, and it was warm in my bedroom *wink*

Fantastic Novel
I really loved this book. Kyell's writing is excellent and Sewell's narration improves throughout the novel and despite stumbling a few times early on and a few name mispronunciations he turns out to be quite good by the end. I also appreciate his not balking at the story's explicit nature. The novel itself doesn't require you to know anything about or to like football, and despite me falling into the latter category I still found the football scenes and setting very enjoyable, particularly when weaved in as action sequences.
There is a lot of allegory that the premise lends itself to and the novel is a vivid snapshot of a time in the very recent past when being a member of the LGBTQ+ community was met with open hostility and bigotry more often than not. The character development of the two main characters is well-paced throughout the novel and though they make some of the same mistakes multiple times (such as ignoring phone calls to their own detriment) they feel believable given the character's circumstances and personalities.
The anthropomorphic aspect might be hard for non-furries to dig into, but not so hard you can't easily get lost in a suspension of disbelief thanks to Gold's excellent writing. All in all I loved this novel and can't wait to dig into the sequels. 5/5 stars

Solid first book
It’s surprisingly not that bad of novel. Although it’s the same “characters don’t talk to each other enough” plot.

Best furry book ever!
When I first got this book it though it would be an ok porn novel, but in stead I got relatable characters, believable situations, and an amazing insight on football. I have definitelyenjoyed my time listening to this book and I'm 100% going to buy some of there other works.

Hardships can lead to wonderful possibilities
When I first started listening to this audio book I remember when I first read the book 5 years ago. Looking for an escape I originally started reading to enjoy something that was full of emotion and passion. What I realize now is that a lot of the feelings portrayed by the characters are things that, previously, I could only imagine. The entire book shows that if you really want something and care about it, even if its hard you can persevere and bring it into fruition.

So moving
I really enjoyed the story, especially when it focused on the hard part of being in a secret relationship.

La novela con la mejor narrativa que he leido
Me encanta como Kyell Gold es capaz de insertar al lector en la escena para permitirnos conocer tanto la escena física como el contexto emocional de los personajes, la historia de Dev y Lee esta plagada de dificultades que Kyell es capaz de guiar en un increíblemente emocionante y genial arco de descubrimiento y de mejora personal, que nos permite conocer la clave de una construcción de personajes y relación amorosa hermosa con sus altas y bajas, lo recomendaría a ojos cerrados a cualquiera que desee una buena historia.
