Publisher's summary

LA gets a little hotter when there's blood on the streets....

This special edition of Shifter Legacies combines books one and two, and contains a long journey of dark paranormal urban fantasy.

Way of the Wolf: Dr. David Lephmann lived a normal existence until he was attacked by a shifter. Thrust into a world of violence and mistrust, he must battle for a place among his new people.

Only strange new alliances can keep him alive. A powerful master vampire may help him take his revenge on the shifter who destroyed his life. There's only one distraction from his mission: an intriguing shifter woman who opens up his world to werewolf romance.

With no way back to his old life, David has no choice but to bend to the rules of his new people. Can he survive the challenge?

Wolf's Revenge: Los Angeles - a city of vampires and shifters where violence simmers just below the surface. LAPD Lieutenant Christine Humber has worked for years in the city's most violent district, nicknamed Monster Central. When Chris examines the murder scene of a werewolf, a particularly hard-to-kill shifter, she doesn't find a shred of evidence. A serial killer was just what the city needed to make tensions start to bubble over.

Threatened by the chance of a new urban revolt, the FBI steps in and tries to take the case. Chris reluctantly teams with the overly slim and beautiful Agent Flint to maintain the fragile peace. As the shifter body count grows, Chris and Flint must find answers before war and death spill out onto the streets.

If you like shifters or the work of Charlaine Harris and Jim Butcher, you'll love these tantalizingly action-packed books.

Awesome Shifter Stories!

What made the experience of listening to Shifter Legacies Special Edition: Books 1-2 the most enjoyable?

These were great stories, and I really enjoyed the "shifter" world development and how it combined shifters and vampires.

Book 1, Way of the Wolf, is a fast past, complex story, with great characters. Told from multiple POV's, the story follows different characters and then pulls them together perfectly for a thrilling ending!
These shifters live in harsh times with no rights for being "non human" and they must fight for the status in the pack.

Book 2, Wolf's Revenge, was a great story that was mostly told from Chris's POV. While investigating a murder, she is changed to a shifter and in the beginning she has a hard time adapting to being a non-human; however, she will stop at nothing to get to the shifter that changed her life.

What other book might you compare Shifter Legacies Special Edition: Books 1-2 to and why?

The shifter world created by Mark is hard to compare to other stories; it has such a unique plot and characters.

Have you listened to any of Mikael Naramore’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

This was my first story I've heard narrated by Mikael Naramore he did an awesome job! I loved how he brought the wolf character's to life. I will definitely be on the look out for more stories narrated by Mikael.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

There were times I was shocked especially what happened when Chris shifted for the first time.

A rambling, confused story but narration is good

What would have made Shifter Legacies Special Edition: Books 1-2 better?

This story started out loosely being about shifters in the first couple of chapters, but quickly seemed to morph into something more about vampires and human police than anything else. Was there supposed to be a legacy? I appreciate the narrator doing a great job, but surely he must have wondered what the hl he was reading. The plot was disjointed and I gave up at Chapter 19 with 22 hours still left to be told. Maybe that was too soon but seriously, a good story would have made the hook before that point.

Has Shifter Legacies Special Edition: Books 1-2 turned you off from other books in this genre?

No, this is my genre of choice. I enjoy paranormal, fantasy, and science fiction over other fiction styles and will continue reading other authors. I may even try another Mark Cooper series.

Have you listened to any of Mikael Naramore’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I don't think I've listened to any of his other performances yet but I did enjoy his narration style, tone of voice, cadence, and diction. I would probably enjoy his narration of a better written story.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Shifter Legacies Special Edition: Books 1-2?

Well, probably everything starting with the title. Where are the shifters after the first couple of chapters?

Any additional comments?

Don't rely on glowing reviews to choose books and don't be afraid to cry uncle when you don't enjoy the story.

was severely disappointed

I struggled to finish this. I had to will myself to finish. I don't know if it was the narrator and his bland character voices or if it was the uninteresting story that jumped so much it was hard to follow. sorry! I wanted to like it.

Good read

The narration of these 2 books was excellent. The first book was more about vampires in my opinion than shifters. There were times that I got confused as to what was happening; thinking maybe I had skipped a chapter or something. I would back it up and listen again but hadn't missed anything. In the end all the separate tangents come together. The second was about shifters and I could follow the actions better. There was one small thing that bugged me. I didn't think Chris had a boyfriend in the first book but in the second she had a fiancé. All in all it was a very enjoyable read.

Great listen

l enjoyed both books. The narrator did an execellent job. However, book 1 was my favorite. l had a hard time in the beginning with the different story lines but once I've over came that, the book really caught my attention and held it. My favorite character's stories were David, Stephen and Gavin. Book 2, was okay, however, the main character Chris was annoying. I find that she went from being a strong detective/lieutenant woman, to a whining, annoying pain. I had to take breaks between listening, because I just could not take her for long periods. I would have love to know what happened with Gavin and Angel. Overall, I rate this set 4 stars.

Great Story!

I really enjoyed book. My only complaint about the story was that I found it hard to believe that a detective in this world would not have bothered learning how the monsters lived because that knowledge would have helped in investigations. I also found it hard to belt that she wouldn't have realized that getting bitten would have cost her her job. That said, my suggestion is to suspend your disbelief and enjoy the story.
