Publisher's summary

It's the year 73 A.T.

Cian’s been denying the pull toward the moon for decades, and as soon as the Phoenicians designed and built a prototype fit for spaceflight, they followed the ship Cian spotted. But as soon as they land on the moon, they discover the Disciples of the Anunnaki have created a new kind of monster. He has his hands full and has to save a bunch of stupid humans before he can woo his mate, who is oblivious about him.

Back on Earth, Phoenix lay at the bottom of the Earth’s global ocean, which covers ninety-nine percent of the Earth’s surface. Eryn, Ivan, and Cian had successfully wrapped the titanium and plexiglass city with a protective waterproof barrier. Some waters have receded around the highest mountains where animals have found refuge. All these areas were declared protected and sacred to allow the surviving fauna and flora to flourish on their own and rehabilitate without the interference or hindrance of man so that nature may repair Earth’s fragile ecosystem.

But all is not as it seems. Eryn brings a stranger on board who might or might not be a friend.

Cian’s Song: We Are Coming Home is the second book written by Kashel Char and Book Three in a planned post-apocalyptic sci-fi fantasy series featuring gifted otherworldly paranormal beings falling in love while saving the last of mankind.

Warning: This story has explicit and graphic depictions of a quadruple amputee prisoner, off-the-page mention of non-consensual sexual acts, cannibalism, and imprisonment. It is unsuitable for young and sensitive listeners or anyone offended by gay sex.

Need to Start At the Beginning But Great Audio

This story sounded interesting, with an immersive world, and of course I love mm romance. Unfortunately I couldn't get into it. This is my first book by this author and though it isn't the first in this series, I didn't realize it wasn't a standalone. The characters were interesting and I like the setting. But after almost two hours I decided to stop listening. I would need to start at the beginning of the series to properly appreciate and enjoy this.

I listened to this audiobook narrated by Jonathan Waters. He is a new-to-me narrator and I thought he did a wonderful job bringing this book to life. I loved the different voices he gave to the characters. I hope to hear more of his work.

Overall: 3 stars

“We Are Coming Home!”

This book had multiple POVs with multiple timelines. I was laughing, I was disturbed, I was intrigued, I was mad, I was happy... this book brought out all my emotions. There was a line about gray crayons that had me giggling all the way across the parking lot and into a store.

Cian is still a cocky annoying boy/man but he's finally made it to the moon. Will he find his mate? You'll have to read or listen to the book to find out.

Kudos to Jonathan Waters!!! He did an amazing job narrating this book/series.

Thank you Kashel Char for the hours of enjoyable entertainment, you are truly one of a kind.

What's up next??? Now we have to wait for the release of According to Ish, Ishtar and Peter's story.

Amazing 🤩

Jonathan Waters has made this series come to life with his versatile sexy voice. He made that shower scene the best I’ve heard in along time. It was hot hot hot! The story took me all around the moon and back. It felt like I was watching a marvel movie. I’m so addicted to this author’s writing and can’t get enough of it. It is a must listen if you like different and new. I was in a deep book slump and this lifted me right out of it. I feel energized and so happy with this twisted ending. I never saw it coming. Just Wow!

Love this series!

First off I need to say how excited I was to see that Jaundre and Drew are back!! The overarching storyline comes to fruition as we find out the who, what, and why of everything that has happened since even before the first book. Cian knew his mate was on the moon and was determined to find a way up there. What he finds is worse than anything he could have imagined. To win his mate's heart and save the humans, Cian, with the help of his brothers and friends, must face many obstacles to have a hope of succeeding. I was really surprised by several things that happened during the book, but no spoilers here. The plot really sucked me in and had me laughing, crying, shocked, and oh so happy with how it ended. There still seem to be a few unanswered questions though. So to paraphrase Ricky Ricardo, "Ish, you have some explaining to do!" This series has been amazing to read and even better to listen to. Jonathan Waters is incredible with his voices. I highly recommend this entire series and I can't wait for Ish's story.

Fun and different

This whole series was a lot of fun. It's all multiple POV and you get sucked in and interested in all the characters. The world building is very unique and sucks you in throughout the series. The narrator is excellent.
