Publisher's summary

Dommik was a monster, a Monster Hunter, and an alpha. Part of an elite group that dealt with the horrors of the universe. At least that was what everyone at the spaceport was whispering as he walked by.

A Cyborg, a hunter, a beast with eyes as dark as the pits of Hell and the stride of a predator. Katalina was a nobody who was intimate with death. It clung to her like a shroud, It followed her like the plague, and infected her like a parasite.

When she overheard that the Monster Hunter needed an assistant, she took the job. And when the Cyborg's eyes caught hers, she knew getting closer to death might just bring her back to life. The Cyborg didn't scare her. So she followed him and left fate up to chance.

Contains mature themes.

Transforming

The whole story seemed disjointed. The relationship not developed enough for even a one night stand. Backstory was told on both characters, however not enough to get attached and drawn in. Maybe the next one will have a little more flow and substance.

Really enjoyable.

I was on the fence when I was recommended this book and was amazed how much I enjoyed it. I've now started the second and am really enjoying it.

disappointed...

I love Naomi's books, I love the cybor shifters.. however, this story fell flat for me ... it might be due to the narration. the story seemed to jump alot with little explanation and lacked a concrete back story.

Different but good

I will say this was very out there. I am happy I read it and that I couldn’t predict it. I’m definitely going onto the next book. Curiosity and all...... 😀

Kat and her monster!

The heroine: Katalina (a.k.a. Kat) - She spent her life as a caregiver to the dying. The last one was her own grandmother who seemed to die of the same thing her parents died of which was a parasite. She feels she must have the same parasite inside her and that she also will die before her time. With her grandmother dead, she wants to travel the galaxy and find some sort of cure for herself.

The Hero: Dommick - He is a Cyborg shifter (part tech, part human, part spider DNA). They call him a Monster or the Monster Hunter and he knows it. He thinks he is a beast and that no woman could ever have feelings for him.

The Story: While at the spaceport, Kat sees the Monster Hunter and hears how every time he is in port, he drops off different creatures, plants and flowers to be studied and as he is walking by her, he hears his bosses tell him that he needs to hire an assistant. She is determined to be his assistant as she thinks that the flora and fauna he collects might be the answer she is seeking.

This was a very odd one. Dommick had a lot of secrets and doesn’t want Kat to know just how much of a monster he actually is. When I found out he was a spider cyborg shifter, I thought I wouldn’t like this one, but I thought Dommick was cute. Especially how he was such a loner and how he sat around braiding ropes in his ship and tied them all over like his own web. He was rough and tough and had a tender heart.

I read the third book, Shark Bite first and liked it because it was different than the average alien romance. This was the same. I really liked the story and the characters. Kat was extremely open minded but had a thing about bugs and she was a bit of a hypochondriac. But everyone has their own foibles, so I enjoyed it.

Like Shark Bite this book was dual points of view, dual narration and narrated by Hollie Jackson and Alexander Cendese who both did a great job with these non traditional characters.

Duel Narrators😢

I struggled to finish this story bcuz of the male and the female Narrators. Dangit I love a duel read but it is so much better when the male does male and the female does her part. Otherwise this was a good story. It was definitely a different take on cyborgs.

Loved this book!

I absolutely loved this book and can't wait to start the next one. I felt the connection between characters and couldn't stop listening. The narration was Fantastic!

bad narration

It may have been a more enjoyable book if the narrators knew what they were doing.

male narrator

the male narrator honestly sounded like rocket from guardians of the galaxy and his female voice sounded like the stereotypical nerd guy from movies. Was a little off putting but the story itself was good

Good read

The male narrator killed me with the female voice. But, he did a good job with the male so gave him a 4. Good story couldn’t put it down. But, different then other alien stories.
