Publisher's summary

Foxx Honeywell here. You know those fun stories where nothing goes wrong and everything is happy and joyful…yeah, that is not this book. This book is where everything goes wrong—multiple times. Horribly wrong. Because sadly, there are people out there who hate others simply for existing. But I’m getting ahead of myself.

Our story picks up a few months after the whole crazy cult thing, right before the horrible, terrifyingly awful holiday called…Christmas. Because, of course, why wouldn’t we end up back on the job right when not only is it bloody cold outside, but when the ho-ho-hoing menace is plaguing poor innocent vampires everywhere?

Anyway, we go on one hunt, and things are relatively normal-ish. It's not until the next one where…well, I maybe almost die. What follows is some resurfacing trauma…and a fair few meltdowns. No doubt terrifying my psycho of a partner, Harlow. Who, by the way, through all this seems okay…maybe. A big maybe. So, yeah, that happens. And you know, if that was all that happened, it would have been fine. Really, it would—mostly. It’s just that what followed…really drove home all those years of no therapy. Like a blast in the face from my past nightmare-inducing trauma. I’m sure it will be fine?

CONTENT WARNING: This is a slow burn M/M paranormal romance series with heat. Slow burn dating/love wise. There will be blood, violence, and death. PLEASE CHECK OUT MY WEBSITE FOR THE FULL CONTENT WARNING!

Never Underestimate a Tiny Vampire!

Never underestimate a tiny vampire or his beautifully scarred human! Harlow's possessiveness is top notch hot in this installment! I love the absolute balance of simple humor, romance, violence and all things that a vampire can get you into! These two have all the spicy chemistry and then the tender moments creep up and make you warm and snuggly! Matt Williams is doing a fantastic job narrating this series to life! He gets all growling and grumpy as Harlow!! So much fun I cannot wait for more.

Amazing as first!

I loved the connection between Foxx and Harlow,I could feel their pain. The story had me staying up til 4am, I had to finish it. Shelby knocked it out of the park again! Can't wait to read the next one.

More adventures please!!

The adventures keep getting better!
Foxx gets into a couple of scrapes which allows the author to explain more of the world Harlow and Foxx live in. It is not a fair world for paranormal, but hopefully Foxx will start to change that.
The relationship between Foxx and Harlow is growing and is as hilarious as ever.
The next book cannot come soon enough!
Matt Willams is brilliant! His bratty Foxx and deadpan Harlow are perfect. Love the way he seamlessly blends into each character in the story. An excellent performance!!!

These endings

I have been fully enjoying this series. I love the dark and grumpy and colorful and sunshine trope. Then you sprinkle in a helping of psycho. *chefs kiss*. The only thing I will say are these ending feel very abrupt. Like what we were mid sentence what happened?

Loved it

I loved this book. Matt Williams' voice really brings this story to life. Foxx and Harlow are back for more adventures. Harlow and Foxx get a their first case after some downtime. Things goes terribly wrong. Not long after they find out things are worse and bigger than they originally believed. It get even more dangerous when Foxx is taken. The bad guys didn't take into account was Foxx's strength and Harlow the psycho coming to save his partner. Will they survive it to fight another day?

And now I have a psycho kink…

This second book picks up a couple months after the first one and it is a roller coaster! We get more in-depth info on Fox’s past and it’s heartbreaking, but we get to see that our resident psycho does have feelings and a very strong protective streak. Although he seems very confused about what these feelings mean. It’s kind of cute.
There’s still plenty of sexy times but we see that both of these crazy boys are completely oblivious to the fact that they mean more to each other than they originally thought.
Harlow does finally have definitive proof that fox is a cat and it’s freaking hilarious.
I’m on tenterhooks for the next one to come out!!

If I fits, I sits 🐈‍⬛

Harlow’s possessiveness of Foxx was everything - the unstable cuteness to possessive rage to surprising tenderness. This book was an emotional rollercoaster.

I love the relationships in this book - Obviously Harlow and Foxx are amazing but also Foxx’s friendship with Alistair and Harlow’s with his boss Tony.

Once again Matt Williams did a wonderful job bringing this book to life.

Book 3 and 4 can’t come fast enough!!

Sadistic Ball of Sunshine! 😍

I love this pair! This is fast becoming a favorite series that will listen to over and over! I love how absolutely opposite Harlow & Foxx are, and how perfect that makes them for each other! Also, LOVE Foxx’s cat-like tendencies! 😂

The Emotions!

I loved this! The emotions I felt when Foxx was in the hospital and when he was captured 😫 I felt just as angry and helpless as Harlow. I've read the novel, but it was a whole other experience hearing the narration as the book came to life. Matt Williams did an excellent job and I can't wait to listen to him for the next book in the series.
