3.7 out of 5 stars 27 ratings
[Siren Classic ManLove: Erotic Alternative Paranormal Romance, M/M, shape-shifters, HEA] In a secret military complex, a scientist uses genetic engineering to spawn a new breed of humans who can shape-shift into animals. One-nineteen, a bat hybrid, longs for his freedom, but when he finally gets a chance to try his wings, fear of getting caught forces him to hide in an underground cave. Brad Walsh is an experienced caver. His life is all about caving and exploring the unknown and untouched, but an accident leaves him trapped underground. Rescue comes in the form of a shy stranger, who calls himself Mace. Brad invites his rescuer into his home--and his bed. But he has no idea that his virgin lover is a shape-shifter who's on the government's most wanted list. For the first time in his life, Mace knows what it feels like to care about someone. He stays longer than he intended, and soldiers track him to Brad's house. He only meant to save the human, but now they're both in danger. Note: This book was previously published with another publisher and has been extensively revised and expanded. ** A Siren Erotic Romance

    Mace, a bat hybrid, is the product of genetic manipulation and he's lived in captivity all his life. When he gets a chance to escape from the lab where he was created, he finds that the outside world is a scary place and he hides in a cave. Despite the fact that he was created to be a killer soldier, he ends up saving the life of a human, and falls for him. Mace would love to have a normal life with Brad but he knows it's impossible. This emotional love story, with hot sex scenes, had me rooting for a happily ever after. I'm looking forward to book three.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Mace's story
    Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2014
    I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads.

    One-nineteen had been raised in the academy with other orphans of soldiers who’d died in the line of duty, and even then he’d been different. Although he’d always lived underground and had never seen the light of day, his activity level increased between dusk and dawn, and he would prowl the dorms for hours. The other boys would make fun of him, but he couldn’t stop himself. His body would only do what felt natural to him. His mentor, Dr. Shepard, tried forcing him to stay awake all day, but the conditioning hadn’t worked, so the doctor started giving him drugs. Without a pill, one-nineteen still found it impossible to sleep at night. Which could only mean one thing. The laboratory technicians who administered his evening meds had forgotten his sleeping pill. This had never happened before, and suddenly he felt downright scared of what might happen next. A change in routine was never a good thing. Mace

    This is the 2nd book of the Hybrids series and it picks up with another escapee from the horrid labs that are controlled by the military and Dr. Shepherd.

    Knowing that they will never leave him alone, 119 hides in the only place he feels safe, and even then he feels that danger is only a few steps behind him.

    Brad Walsh is a loner -- by circumstance and choice. He's an avid outdoorsman and loves to explore. After an accident in a cave, 119 comes to his aid and he return he offers 119 a place to stay.

    Will Brad tell him to leave once he finds out what he is? Can 119 stay ahead of the forces that are tracking him?

    I'm ready for the next book in the series.

    *I received a free copy to read & review for Wicked Reads*

    3.5 stars.

    I goofed up and read book 2 first. With that saying, I didn't have any issue falling into the story, to the point that I didn't even realize until I looked the book up on Goodreads & saw it was book #2. My bad.

    Well-written. A fast-paced novella. A quick way to spend some time on stress-free entertainment. The paranormal premise is solid, interesting, but not the main focus. If you are looking for in-depth paranormal world building or a slowly building romance, you won't find this here. The paranormal elements & the romance are both equal in the story. That isn't necessarily a bad thing. Reading is for entertainment, and sometimes PNR & UF can be slightly confusing, making it feel more like work than relaxation.

    Overall, I was truly entertained.

    Recommend: to readers who aren't sticklers on world-building. Those who enjoy m/m romance.
    Will I continue on with this series: Yes. Great way to spend an hour- hour & a half.
    Will I read more from this author: Yes.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Steamy and sweet
    Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2015
    Another awesome read! Although the story can stand alone, it's best to read the series in order. I had wondered what would happen with that flash drive from the first book. Good to see that it appeared in this second book as well. Can't wait to read the next one, either, especially what will happen for Captain Sawyer!

    Back to Mace's story... Born into a prison facility in a gene-manipulated environment, Mace has never seen the light of day before. His interactions with guards, meals, potty, etc are predictable and sterile. As one of the hybrids highly guarded and studied by a government sanctioned top secret project, Mace found that his body not only took on the desired effects of animal strengths but that he can shape-shift into a bat. Presented with escape, he finds his natural habitat and hides there until Brad takes a fall into the cave.

    Struggling for survival at first, the two form a sweet and romantic attraction. Danger follows close behind and the light that the two first saw at the end of the tunnel (or cave, in this case) soon seems like an unattainable dream. Mace, destined to be on lockdown forever, and Brad, the caver who is falling in for him, face another definitive fork in the road.

    I got sucked into their world from the first page and couldn't put this down. So looking forward to reading all in the series!

    Genetic experimentation, mad scientists, and sexy hybrids. What's not to like? Mace manages to escape and hides in the only safe place for a bat hybrid—a cave. He rescues a caver, and the man gives him a place to stay. But danger follows. I enjoyed the tension between the men, and seeing how Mace reacts to his growing attraction to Brad. The romance is sweet and steamy. I'm ready for the next book in the series!
