About this listen
Elien Martel is a survivor, but surviving, he’s beginning to discover, isn’t the same thing as living. In the house he shares with his much older boyfriend, Elien spends his days trying to stay as far away from living as possible. Living, he has learned, means that sooner or later you’ll get hurt.
When a member of Elien’s support group dies under strange circumstances, though, Elien finds himself in a web of bizarre coincidences. The responding officer turns out to be another member of Elien’s support group - a man named Mason, who has made no effort to hide his dislike of Elien. Then, just a few days later, Mason tries to kill Elien in front of dozens of witnesses.
As violence ripples through Elien’s world, he begins to suspect that the coincidences are not coincidences at all. Something is at work behind the cascade of tragedies, something vicious and intelligent. Something that has wanted Elien for a long time.
To defeat it, Elien will have to do what he fears most and face the darkness in his own past. Worse, he’ll have to take the risk of trying to live again.

Auggie is starting his first year at Wroxall College. It’s a punishment, and he’s determined to make his way through the year, prove himself, and earn the right to go back home. Theo is a grad student recovering from a terrible car accident. He’s lost his husband and their daughter, and he’s trying to figure out how to keep going. When both are tangled up in a murder, though, they have to set their personal problems aside and work together — first to clear their names, and then, when the killer turns his attention on them, to survive.

After all, Jem is charming and sweet and surprisingly vulnerable. Oh. And hot.

When Emery Hazard and his husband, John-Henry Somerset, arrive home from their honeymoon, they’re shocked (understatement of the year) to find a boy waiting for them on their doorstep. Colt, 15 and eager to pick a fight, claims to be Hazard’s son. It’s almost a relief, then, for Hazard and Somers to be called out to assist the Dore County Sheriff’s Department with what seems to be an impossible murder: a man has been found stabbed to death in a stretch of woods, and the only set of footprints in the soft ground belong to the victim.

Story
Teancum Leon, who goes by Tean, is a wildlife veterinarian. His life has settled into a holding pattern: He loves his job, he hates first dates, and he only occasionally has to deal with his neighbor Mrs. Wish’s cat-related disasters. All of that changes, though, when a man appears in his office, asking for help to find his brother. Jem is convinced that something bad has happened to Benny, and he thinks Tean might be able to help. Tean isn’t sure, but he’s willing to try. After all, Jem is charming and sweet and surprisingly vulnerable. Oh. And hot.

Addicting and creepy!
Sooo I finished this book in one sitting - very much so had my attention from start to finish, which to me is a very good sign for a mystery/romance!
This has spooky stuff, this has horror, this has gore. This also has a very slow and sweet romance!
I appreciated the little cute moments between the MCs, eating pizza in bed, bickering, setting boundaries, understanding that they came with baggage. It worked. Also don't mind me finding overbearing parents actually endearing??
I will say the beginning was a little rough to start out with, but once it started moving and there was character development and background shared, I was invested.
Also! The narration!! Was so good! 4.5 stars only because I think it'll only get better in the next book.

Super fun
I hesitate to say "fun" because there are some really horrible things that happen in this book. But it's also kind of funny. I was very entertained while getting chores done. It's also, contrary to what one reviewer wrote, hardly the kind of explicit you'd read in a romance novel. I mean, there are sex scenes, but they exist to show the difference between the relationships, and it's not any more than you'd see on Netflix.
I'm a little curious about the actual history and culture behind the myths these books are based on. It's pretty rare to read nuanced representations of non mainstream culture written by people not from that culture. So... this probably isn't great. Fortunately for me, I am too ignorant to be offended. Next time I'm in NO it would be interesting to research though.

Ashe did a great Paranormal
I was excited to see Gregory Ashe do a paranormal/horror type book. NOLA is a great setting to have it in and the story uses its surroundings to make the experience realistic - even for a paranormal one. The characters are well developed, each having their own set of problems that encourage you to engage with who they are and what they are trying to achieve. All the while introducing a mystery component - perfect Gregory Ashe style - to uncovering the evil doings. This is my first Declan Winters narration and I thought he did a perfect job portraying Eileen and Dag and making who they are come "off the page". Looking forward to seeing what else Gregory Ashe can do in the genre.

Gregory Ashe does it again
ash has always been one of my favorite MM novelists. He spins stories that progress organically are interesting. Build up the characters in ways that are real and has a talent for writing, true Romance, as in the pretty and the ugly.
This is a pretty standard mystery, monster book. The scares weren’t very incredible although there are some gruesome scenes being an MM novel I will say that there’s at least one block within a chapter describing a lovemaking scene, which is broken up into two parts. That scene itself is gratuitous, but not graphic. Nothing about it is flippant. The scene is very much a first time/coming-of-age/exploring unexplored territory scene.
there are some moments where you want to slap some characters but overall this is not an anxiety book. It was a very easy listen, and I recommend it to any MM fans looking for that little something else.

I will admit, this is an A for effort book.
I generally enjoy Gregory Ashe. This is a departure from most of what I have read of his. While not perfect, I did enjoy the world he creates for this story.
Declan Winters is a narrator I didn't know much about , but I really enjoyed his interpretation. He wasn't gimmicky with the local accents, and brings a lot to broad spectrum of characters we meet.
Whether you want to call it supernatural or occult, Ashe commits to this storyline. A recommended departure for a guy who writes a lot about small town cops.

Layers of Reality and Fantasy
I received an advance copy of this audio book in exchange for an honest review. Here it is.
I don't have patience for horror books, but this one is a sensible, nicely articulated story. Its strength lies in the way it represents the uncanny element, pouring it on a most common situation (a multi layered abusive relationship which is in itself frightening). The reader discovers the depth of the abuse and finding a path to sanity, while figuring out the clues on the monster. It is a chase of self discovery, building trust, growing up, and chasing some scary (in more than one way) creatures. The main characters are endearing, and the parents of one of them are epic. Definitely enjoyable.

Great Scary Story
Great story. Believable characters. Louisiana is always a good setting for a scary story. Narration suited the story.

“There is a spirit that lives in marshy places…”
This book didn’t “pull me in,” it actually KIDNAPPED ME and held my outside life a prisoner until I finished every last word!
Now I HAD to find out what was wrong with Elion, and why he’s lying. I HAD to find out who Richard was, and how this Dag person fits into all of this. And I HAD to find out what Elion’s mom was like!
From the moment I picked up this book, until I reached the end, my dog didn't get walked, the laundry was put off for another day, and ditto the dishes.
You do this to me every time I get one of your books, Gregory [insert middle name here] Ashe, and you just did it AGAIN!

Wow!
Gregory Ashe writing a paranormal storie was a huge surprise! He crushed it! I could not turn it off. Definitely creepy. Didn’t see where the story/mystery was going. Kinda saw who the big bad was but it took a while. Mild heat. Tigger warnings should be looked up. I cannot wait for the next book. Narration was wonderful. I’ll be checking out more books narrated by him.

Great story. Great narration.
Gregory Ashe often puts his main characters through some very traumatic experiences, and the characters in this book are already traumatized before they are tortured by the author. So yeah, not for the faint of heart, but still a great read/listen. In addition to more torture, the MCs, Dag and Elien, also get more steamy scenes than I usually expect from Ashe's books.
To balance out the horror and traumatic events the story has a few light-hearted moments. Dag's parents are a special blend of ridiculous and loving, and Declan Winter's narration of them and the main characters was nicely done.
