De: Chloe Neill

Narrado por: Sophie Eastlake

In Howling for You, Jeff Christopher is a shapeshifter and ally of Chicago's Cadogan House of Vampires. For a long time, Jeff had eyes only for the beautiful Fallon Keene. Unfortunately she is the only sister of the lethal North American Central Pack Apex Gabriel Keene. But fate takes a hand when the pack's totem is stolen, and Fallon enlists Jeff's help to retrieve it before the pack is thrown into chaos. Can she and Jeff find the totem and restore order before it's too late? And will Jeff finally be able to prove himself to the only person he truly loves?

In Lucky Break, Merit and Ethan are in desperate need of some alone time, but their attempt at a romantic getaway is quickly interrupted when one of Ethan's vampire friends shows up at their door - covered in blood and accused of killing her shifter husband. Now, Merit and Ethan must put their passion on pause to figure out who's really responsible for the murder before all hell breaks loose....

A 2 for 1…

Just 2 stories in one novella, but they were quite good. The first story is Jeff’s to tell. The story takes place between books 8 & 9. It gives insight into the lives of the Shifters. It’s nice to see that there’s drama in every supernaturals’ lives & the North American Pack is no different. It’s a nice story that gives you a peak into the lives of the North American Pack & the strife that occurs in every family/group of beings. Plus we get to meet a new character & his pet too. ^_^ It’s a short story, but was well written & narrated.
The 2nd story is all Merit & Ethan…& of course another mystery to solve. Even when they try to get away, they just can’t seem to. This short story was quite good as well & we get to see yet another side of Merit using some ‘colorful metaphors,’ which I have to say was quite a refreshing moment. I really appreciated it & am glad she said what I wanted to say. lol!
I also have to say that I have great respect for Gabriel & enjoyed his interactions with Ethan (& Merit) a lot. He makes for a great leader which is probably why Ethan & him are friends.
I also really enjoyed this story too & hope there are more or would like to see more side stories in this book series.

sacrifice for love

these 2 stories are both about love, and the sacrifice we will make to have it. throughout each book in this series so far, ive told myself i wouldn't cry over any of it. ive cried over All of it. in a good way lol
thank you, Chloe Neill 🥰

Awesome as always!!

A little disappointed at the length of th story. But it delivered. Fun sideline story. Maybe it will show up in the future.
Fun little listen and great appetizer for the next full length Chicagoland Vampires series.
Does not disappoint.

The story teller (reader) could be better

I wish the story teller of this series could make the male voices more distinguishable. The author has done a fantastic job of writing! !!

Sophie Eastlake was Julia Whelan!!!

A great surprise to fine my favorite narrator under a different name. Chloe Neill is always good. Julia, I mean, Sophie made it better

Top 5 series in my opinion

Never boring or slow, always a twist. Dialog amusing storyline well thought out and easy to follow. Spend the credit you won't be sorry.

This book does not belong here.

This book should not be numbered as 8.5. It belongs after book 10. The first part may be 8.5 but definitely not the second book. Other than that, the stories are ok but it was a total spoiler

#8.5 Howling For You
I really enjoyed this, getting a shifters pov in this world is interesting.
This book is really about the Keene Family and their pack. Fallon is the first female who is in line for the pack but for that to happen she has to marry someone who is suited.

Jeff the is a tiger shifter and though he and Fallon have interest in each other she would have to denounce herself as next in line to be with him.

It’s all very interesting and I loved it. I would love to see a spin off with these characters.
I am a fan of Sophie Eastlake's narration.
(I wish I had listened to this after Wild Things because they are heavily featured in that book and it would have made listing to this book that much more.)

#10.5 Lucky Break
The one time Merit and Ethan take a vacation they walk right into a mess.

But like Ethan and Merit they get to the bottom of it. I really enjoy shorts like these it makes some of the side stories that much sweeter in the big books.

Great stories!!

A great addition to the main series! Enjoyable, great characters, and a fun escape from reality!

LIKED THE BOOK ALL SO FAR

Confused, 8.5 I thought they went on vacation because the detective warned of an arrest for Eathen? But NO... THE NEXT BOOK??? addresses this!
