Good mystery and sexy times!
This was kind of two stories in one… We have the romance between Eric and Jay and the mystery of who is killing people. When Eric is hired to provide security at the resort the Jay manages for his family, it doesn’t take long for them to fall for each other. The only problem is that Jay’s father insists that he can’t be gay and has provided him with a fake girlfriend.
This was a bit different from other paranormal books I’ve read. Someone or something is killing people and evidence that Eric has gathered points to it having been going on for years. This part of the mystery wasn’t really addressed but, in the end, I guess it didn’t really matter.
I didn’t guess who the killer was until nearly the end of the story so that was well done. There were some fairly gruesome scenes in this book and I’m not sure which would have been better – to listen to them being described as I did or to read them. Either way I think they might be a bit difficult for some readers to experience.
As far as I know, this is the first audiobook I’ve listened to that Samuel Mann and I think he did a good job narrating this story. Overall, I enjoyed listening to this book and would listen to more books performed by Samuel Mann and/or written by Elizabeth Noble.

Mystery, action, chills, and thrills spiced with romance and desire. ELIZABETH NOBLE lives by the adage “I can’t not write.” She doesn’t remember a time when she didn’t make up stories and eventually she learned how to put words on a page. Those words turned into books and fan fiction that turned into a genuine love of M/M fiction. A part of every day is spent living in worlds she created that are filled with intrigue and espionage. She has a real love for a good mystery complete with murder and twisty plots as well as all things sci-fi, futuristic, and supernatural.
When she’s not chronicling the adventures of her many characters, Elizabeth is a veterinary nurse living in her native Cleveland, Ohio. She has three grown children and now happily shares her little, brick house with two spunky Cardigan Welsh Corgis and their feline sidekicks. Elizabeth is a fan of baseball, basketball (go Cavs and Cleveland Baseball) and gardening. She can often be found working in her ‘outside office’ listening to classic rock and plotter her next novel waiting for it to be dark enough to gaze at the stars.
Elizabeth has received a number of amateur writing awards. Since being published, several of her novels have received Honorable Mentions in the Rainbow Awards. Jewel Cave was a runner-up in the Gay Mystery/Thriller category in the 2015 Rainbow Awards. Ringed Love was a winner in the Gay Fantasy Romance category of the 2016 Rainbow Awards.
