And to top it all off, the slowly developing D/s relationship is imaginative and includes dealing with issues that would only happen between a human and a werewolf of this world. In that respect, this book reminded me of ‘Duck!’ and ‘Magpie’, two novels about avian shifters where Kim Dare developed unique cultural perceptions in that world, and she has done the same thing in ‘Axel’s Pup’. Each of the men’s point of view is well-developed and includes the way they see the world based on not only who they are as men, but who they are as a member of their species. There are also wonderful, multi-layered characters who struggle to understand their differences, and are determined to figure out how to overcome their cross-species issues-and there are a few. There is a creative shifter world with rules and behaviors all its own, mysteries to solve as the story unfolds, and, most fascinating to me, a world where humans are the bad guys, the ones who bring the darkness. s master’s inspection.This is an amazing story that contains several elements I love in any novel. Ori stood by the dining room door, his hands folded neatly behind his back and his chin up-his stance as perfect as everything else he’d laid out for hi. The simple fact that Ori had managed to do it all without adding to the list of things he’d broken, seemed to have done wonders for his confidence as well. After all the grunt work he’d put in while making the house fit for habitation, getting to play with a bit of sparkle was obviously doing him a world of good.Ī smile crept to Raynard’s lips too.
More than a few times over the last few days, Raynard had caught sight of a quietly satisfied smile on the duckling’s face.
If his first forays into it were anything to go by, the more formal rituals of high service were going to suit Ori very well.
Every piece of silverware shone, every glass sparkled. If Ori hadn’t actually pulled out a ruler and measured the gaps between each item, no one would have ever guessed it.
