Bioshifter: Volume 1

Bioshifter, Book 1

De: Thundamoo, Natalie Maher

Narrado por: Sarah Beth Pfeifer

Hannah has a routine. Wake up, take a shower, go to school, go to work, come home, and pass out.

It's a perfectly normal routine for a perfectly normal girl who does not have to remember how her limbs work every morning because of haunting nightmares of being a very different creature in a very different world. That's all she thinks they are—nightmares—until one night, they're all too lucid, and her body on Earth starts to change. Slowly, Hannah's humanity starts to slip away... but surely she can continue just sticking to the routine, right? It'll be fine. It has to be.

A mix of urban and traditional fantasy, Bioshifter is a story in two worlds, with magic leaking in from one to the other. It's a story about love, self-acceptance, neurodivergence, and a whole lot of trauma. Strap in and enjoy!

Amazing!

Natalie has quickly become my favorite author. all of her books are fun, well written, thoughtful and very creative! This book was no exception.

amazing thank for more excellent work

Well, I was really excited about this title. I love the cover art for it. And I didn't know much about it. Other than the description that it gave you. And I didn't go online to look up any other details of it and just decided to pre-order based on what information that I had the time. To my surprise, it was made by my favorite people who made Vigor mortis. and hive minds give good hugs. Had you told me that before? There would have been no question I wouldn't. Double down my pre-order on it. So I've made it a quite nice surprise when I found out. At the end of the book. Overall, it was fantastic. I really love the 2 worlds. I love the main character and the horrible stuff that she deals with in both worlds. This is a very interesting, isekai And I love how it's presented to both worlds. Upon her sleep not gonna lie. I thought it was a little mental at first I was hoping that it wasn't her imagination or her going crazy but an actual different universe how cool. So she has to deal in this is a lot different ways. Honestly this book is a 10/10 for me I love the writers .I really can't wait to see what you all produce next.

So good!!!

This was so dang good I cant even describe it! Love it! Buy it!!! Go go go!

Just as good as a audible

I started reading it as soon as it was on the patreon and I got the book as well, and I'm glad to get it as a audible too. great story, interesting characters with a lot of introspection. Fun performance too. thank you

20hrs have never gone faster

Author is amazing.
Narrator is amazing.
Very unique in that there are 2 POVs but both are the main character.
The author(s)? (idk the previous series had thundamoo as an alias of Natalie) are really good at handling and representing neurodivergent characters.
They are also masterful at world building, although I do prefer the hard magic of vigor mortis this was done really well.
I’m just disappointed I have to wait til the next book comes out.

Loved it

If you love vigor mortis your gonna love this !! Little bit of a slow start but it picks up after the first few chapters.

good world , infuriating mc

the characters and world are great. even the mc has interesting things about her. the only problem is she is so inactive until the last 6 hours. the mc is based on routine and supression which makes for a completely reactionary story. add anxiety babble and you will be wishing for her to eat someone so something will change in the 10 hour run on sentence punctated by fantasy world building.

Mix Feelings about the MC but overall a good story

I like the story and even the main character to some degree, But she her characterization is full of groaners, Whedonesc quirky quippy style dialogue where every stressful situation is met with a comment that could easily all be replaced with "Erm, Well that just happened" mixed with a MC who is 17 but talks like a 30 year old millennial lots commentary made on LGBT issues, capitalsim, and healthcare that would not be coming out if the mouth of a teenage schoolgirl. I am rereading this and it makes it sound like I disliked the book and the MC but that's not true I liked them both, I just know that the MC made me groan at times and I know for a fact that there are people who are going to absolutely hate her, I like her for the most part, I also appreciate the author's not so subtle gripe about the modern state of the pokemon games, I really feel that.

Basically my final call. Good Book, interesting story, Clearly the author using it as a platform foe their personal societal gripes which is their right as the author but ultimately makes it not for everyone.

Underrated author by orders of magnitudes

I don’t love fantasy, but Natalie Maher is the exception. I like her characters, her flawed, intelligent protagonists, and how she makes the reader feel their emotions. Her stories are unconventional and wholly captivating.

This one is funnier, and felt more personal. However, Hannah is more than a bit edgy and political (woke), very much realistic but slightly irritating to me.

(I miss Jessica Almacy as the narrator but Sarah is fantastic also.)

I really loved this crazy book

Natalie Maher did such a good job with crazy eldritch body changing dysphoria that I thought she couldn't top it, but this one certainly does. I love the crazy, neirotic MC going through shennanigans in 2 worlds and their gradual bleedover. The magic system was unique and fun with no stats or anything like that. I very much enjoyed this book, though moments were pretty stressful at times, and I had to pause it for a couple days and come back to it. There is just enough humor to add relief to the horror, and the narrator does a fantastic job bringing that out as well as all of the unique characters. I will definitely be getting the next book in the series whenever it comes out.
