As the layers of the story are peeled back and the true nature of the characters and their intentions are revealed, I found myself murmuring an “awww”, something this author is known to inspire in readers.

I really enjoyed the world that was created and I absolutely ADORED Johnnie. I also liked how Hugh taught Johnnie how to be a lion and showed him everything he was missing. I can't wait to see what comes next in this series and hope we don't have to wait too long for it!

There wasn't anything that I didn't love about this book. I realize I say that a lot about Cardeno C.'s work, but the author really is that good and I feel as if I'm right there immersed within the story. Watching David and Jonathan fall in love was intense and amazing. Seeing what happened after ... just reinforced my belief that there are good, decent people in the world who know how to love through thick and thin.

If you are looking for a shifter book with love laughter and acceptance then look no further than Blue Mountain.

The combination of Cardeno C's magnificent writing style and Paul Morey's delightful narration skills turned this into a very epic love story. I would actually call this the PERFECT dose of romance and heartbreaking revelations that one as a bookworm deserves. It was absolutely BEAUTIFUL!
