With their help, and the help of my best friend, I'm trying to navigate the threats - old and new. When I'm summoned to go before the Council, I have no idea what to expect.

Story
After my plane was sabotaged and crashed into the jungle, I rescued five male survivors from the wreckage. I could have let them die, but no, I decided to pull their stupid carcasses from the wreckage. I’m immortal, not a monster. Yes, they’re hot; now is not the time to do something about that. The five sexy jaguar-shifters are on a mission to locate someone, a rare phoenix-shifter. Phoenix, the legendary creature, reborn every time it dies. Wait…could they be looking for me? It doesn’t matter since they walked away and left me to die in the Amazon rainforest.

Kinda dead. Straight-up psycho. Totally obsessed with her. I did a bad, bad thing. Thanks to a blank in my memory, I'm not sure what that thing was, but it was horrible enough to get me locked up in the mental ward for seven years. Horrible enough that my little sister won't even speak to me. But when I'm released back into a town determined to rub my unknown sins in my face, the past isn't the only thing that's haunting me. The four "imaginary" friends who made my childhood bearable barge into my life in a very real way.

However, where I lack in magic I more than make up for with the tech I develop, if I do say so myself. Apparently I'm not the only one. From the minute I received my diploma as a magical engineer, it seems like my world has turned upside down. Now, members of all six families are competing to get me to work for them.

These manly monsters are determined to repay me for my help, and they won't get out of my apartment, until they're satisfied we're even. There's something to be said for allies so devoted they'll tear off heads and shred souls on your behalf. I'm all for joining forces.

All I wanted was to find answers to who I was. No one knew who had abandoned the gray-eyed baby with fiery red hair and a cry loud enough to make a man's nuts retract. I moved to Arbor Falls to find myself. Little did I know I'd be thrown into a world I didn't know existed. A world with wolves at each other's throats and enough pack politics and danger to make my head spin. Then there's the fact that I have more than one mate. Not all of them accept me because there's one gigantic problem: I'm not what they expected.

Strange, unnatural things are brewing in Emerald Lakes, and I can’t ignore the sinking suspicion that something life-changing is headed my way.

Publisher's Summary
I always knew I was different.
I'd thought it had to be hidden - to stay a secret.
I didn't know my secret would become the key to my survival.
Turning 18 and getting accepted into college brings me everything I need to escape from the nightmares of my past but I never could have imagined my nightmares - and dreams - were just beginning. Finding myself thrown into a world of fantasy, politics, friendships, and rules that are nearly impossible to understand, I feel like I'm drowning in a world of shifters I never knew existed. As I struggle to find my place and prevent my nightmares from tearing me apart, I find myself surrounded by an unusual group of sexy men. With Hiro, Killian, Theo, Damien, and Ryder I'm trying to become the woman I've always wanted to be, if my past, and my future, will let me.
Contains mature themes.

it's a good start, but it cliffhangers before any plotline is concrete. books in a series should have complete independent plots that run into an over arching plot. hate feeling like I've read 3/4 of a book.

Wonderful story, inconsistent narration
I love the story, but the female narrator is annoying (she hisses her S's, it's very distracting) and both she and the male narrator are very inconsistent in their accents. The men are from all over the world and the voices used by the female narrator is nothing like the one that the male narrator uses, and they both tend to fall out of the accents in the middle of a chapter.
And the Japanese character mispronounced the name of his own species, which drove me nuts each time he said it.
I love the story itself though. I already have the books and enjoyed listening to it instead. I still probably won't spring for the others.

Help! I am a puddle and can't get up! Plot is pretty good and the few kiss scenes there are, were hot as embers. Pun intended. This is a reverse harem so if you're not into that, move on; if you are, definitely get this book! Readers do take time to get used to.

Mixed bag
I enjoyed reading this book more than listening to it because the female narrator was not able to perform the various characters well. Any character other than nix signed like Minnie mouse. The male narrator was phenomenal as he expressed many accents and feelings of the characters.

Good story / meh narration
Narration:
Male narrator does a great job with the male voices. But his female voice makes the FMC sound like a bratty valley girl. Portrays the wrong personality for her.
Female narrator is fine for the FMC but HORRIBLE for all the male characters. Her accents are way off.
Story: loving the first book and anxious for the 2nd to be released. Great storyline and plot intrigue.

Nearly Ruined By Narration
Overall, I really loved this series.
I thought the world building through the series was very detailed and engaging. In addition the authors presented some really interesting atypical representation of mythological/paranormal creatures.
While some of the character development was a little glossed over, I found myself very invested in each character. Nix was definitely frustrating at times, and it was tough to empathize her at times even with the constant reminders of her traumatic past. To be honest I found myself caring more about each of the guys and eventually got to a point where I didn’t really care to much about what happened to Nix.
The major downside of this experience was the narration. While the female narrator hand an interesting raspy quality to her voice, her acting and narration style eventually grew tiring and I actually sped up the her chapters to get through them faster. The male narrator had a nice voice, but his acting was very distracting. Both narrators were also terrible at their attempted accents and opposite gender voices.
I did read the rest of the series as I really enjoyed the story, but I definitely won’t be listening to anything else narrated by these particular artists.

Wow!!! My newest FAVORITE!!!
This book was really good! The characters are so sweet with how much they care for Nix from the start and the author did an amazing job capturing the trauma and feeling someone coming from Nix’s background would be going through! The only complaint I have is that sometimes the male narrator’s female voice makes her sound like an annoying and snotty B**** which is not the overall feel of the characters attitude. His male voices and accents are amazing though!!! I’m starting the next book in the series now and can’t wait!! This is definitely one of the one I lost sleep on because I wanted to finish it lol!

Great story, disappointing narration.
I was immediately captivated by this story. It had a successful start that pulled me in. I loved the characters and found the world very interesting. I appreciated the character building and slow burn.
Unfortunately, the story did not make up for the narration issues. For starters, I will never understand the point of getting a male and female narrator, but not having the girl do the girl voices and the man do the man voices! I thought Brandon Utah did an okay job of the girl voices in his chapters, but I HATED Heather Costa's attempt at the male voices and her accents were even worse. Also, nit-picky maybe, but I hate a badly done Aussie accent. At least Brandon attempted, even though it sounded a mix between American and New Zealand accent. But I don't actually think Heather tried to do accents at all, never mind change the tone of her voice for different characters. I could not tell if she was narrating a man or woman's voice and especially couldn't tell which character she was voicing. The Scottish accent attempts were pretty bad too I thought.
Anyway, I don't mean to be harsh, but I am used to a higher standard with my audiobooks (just finished the Haret Chronicles which had amazing duet narration with multiple successful & absolutely seamless accents). I just can't help but feel like this is several steps down from that and also such a missed opportunity to have two narrators but not a propper duet narration!

***THE PHOENIX***
It's a heartbreaking story of a girl that can not die. She was abused so bad by the one person who should have have protected her. I loved this book I have read it but I want to listen it it as well. Heather Costa and Brandon Utah are both brilliant in their narratives. I can't wait to dive in to book 2.
