Resumen del Editor

The Little Mermaid meets Loki in this dark, twisted retelling that’s anything but a Fairy Tale. In this world, foes look like friends, the heroes are deliciously wicked, and you’ll never see the end coming.

Ten years ago, I "died", and it was the best thing that ever happened to me.

I should have known it wouldn't last.

Once my family thought I was dead I was finally free to live. Until the day my brother walks into my tiny book shop.

No one leaves the Grayling pack and gets away with it. They drag me back, but not for the reason I believe.

My mother has made an enemy of a powerful witch and I am to take the punishment meant for her. Death would have been kinder.

This curse? What I am now? It's so much worse than I could have imagined. She didn't just cut me off from my wolf, or even simply kill me. She made me a golden retriever and sent me to a shelter. I'm ready to die in truth now, I'm hoping for it even. And then my mate walks in...but how am I supposed to convince him I'm the strong partner he needs to help him stop the end of the world when I can’t stop wagging my freaking tail?

An amazing start to a new series!!!!

I've always said that "dysfunctional family" is redundant. Every family is messed up in some way, so just say "family", we get that somewhere there's weirdness happening. But, Shannon Mayer has taken it to the truly "dysfunctional" in this interesting, entertaining and enthralling new story. The characters are so real, you want to be friends with some of them, and you want to just smack some others. As a listener, you get so involved in the emotional outcome to this story. This is such a great adventure, there's excitement, a hunky love interest, twists and surprises that keep the listener guessing, snark a plenty, all with fabulous and loveable sidekicks. The narrator does a great job of distinguishing between charachters, that you always know who is speaking. I'm really looking forward to the next book, can't wait!

OMG I am so in love with this story!!

Oh. My. God. I have never laughed so hard at a story. Good lord.

Shannon, as always, has delivered a story full of... everything? Is that an option. There is a whole gambit of things happening and just when you think you know what's happening, she throws a curve ball that has you chasing after it like Cyn does her tail... I mean... LMAO

Is he the bad guy? No, is she? Is he? God it's like someone tossed all the chaos in a barrel adn dumped it over this poor girls head. I approve by the way. Epic.

Y'all, I think this is the best thing since... okay so I love all of her stuff but Cyn reminds me so much of Alex from the Rylee Series that I am so in love. I can not wait to find out what she puts this poor girl through next. It will be delicious, sinful and freaking hysterical. I have no doubts.

What a fun surprise!

4.25 Stars ⭐️

I think that this was my surprise read of the week. I'm not really sure what I was expecting, but whatever it was, this blew my expectations away. While this is not a book of deep thought that provokes strong intellectual discussions, it WAS a fun and compelling book that made me laugh many times along the way.

We get to meet Cin, a werewolf who might just have the most awful family in the werewolf world - and that might just be an understatement. Without going into spoilers, let's just say that the results of the curse that is forced upon her are kinda funny. I know, I know, it shouldn't be funny, but it is. It really is.

The show stealer though, is Skittles, or the cat who is also known as Bebe. She definitely wins the award of best secondary character...hands down. Between the two of them, their antics are what makes this story so fun.

I listened to this on audio and Amy Landon did a great job (I especially liked the way she portrayed Bebe). Again, this book is not going to go down in the annuals of history, but it is DEFINITELY worth the time investment of a couple of hours of entertainment.

Talk about leaving on a cliffhanger.....man oh man....

I can't wait to see where book 2 goes with this storyline.

good book

enjoyed the book. could have had less F words. but great overall. hope there's another one

5 star right to the end

I really enjoyed this right up to the not end. Too abrupt of a not end to the story to be a 5 star

So good!!

Non stop action and suspense! I had read it before but listening was a whole new experience. Highly recommend this and can’t wait for Glitter!!

MORE!!!

man what and ending! very entertaining loved it and couldn't stop! performance was fantastic great voices!!

This Book IS Golden!!!!

Golden by Shannon Mayer is the 1st in a new world/series for This incredible author. I'm a big fan of Shannon Mayer's writing and this book was just another example of her amazing talent!

I admit that I was really curious as to how I'd like this odd telling. I mean a Werewolf turning into a Golden Retriever??!! That's a totally new direction if anything I'd read before....but, never fear! Shannon Mayer is here, and she will make those quirks work out brilliantly!!!! In no time I was totally engrossed and couldn't wait to see what happened next! This puppy (no offense to our Golden) had a lot of twists and turns, who's good, who's bad,what next?!! It's just a fantastic read and Any Landon was magnificent as the narrator. There were a lot of characters, very unusual characters that she had to differentiate voices, etc. for and she did such a great job! Loved everything about this book!! 22 Golden Stars! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

👏 Bravo

This new series is definitely going to be on my number one list. It kept me captivated from the start. I love Cin and her new sidekick. Amy Landon does a fantastic job bringing the characters alive. I highly recommend this audible book.

Right from the start, it grabbed me.

It’s not often that a story grabs me from the start. This one did it with the very first sentence! What a wild ride, with characters I loved, and characters I truly despised. It ended leaving me wanting MORE.
