About this listen

He’s a genetic experiment. The merging of human and lion DNA his creators call a Breed. And they have no idea just what kind of the creature they brought into being.

Callan Lyons wanted only to be left in peace to protect the small group of Breeds he rescued from a New Mexico lab, but those who created them refuse to stop their continued attempts to recapture them. And the owner of a small, reputable paper, once a friend of his birth mother’s, now has proof of his existence. Proof that has caught his daughter Merinus Tyler’s fascination and ensured her determination to find him. But once they touch, they’ll become far more than either ever imagined possible.

Man created them, but nature has made them her own. Beginning with Callan, she’ll show the world the folly of playing with the very building blocks of all she protects. And Merinus will learn the folly of tempting the beast....

The first of the Breeds series is about Callan Lyons and Merinus Tyler they meet when Merinus goes after Callan trying to get him to come forward and expose those who created and experimented on him. What follows is a story full of those who would kill them, betrayal and an all consuming relationship between the two of them. A really good listen, it’s an excellent story which I highly recommend.

Excellent story

I have listened to a few of this series over the years but wasn't keen on the narration of the books I've purchased. The voices just annoyed me.
In this first book, the narrator's voices are just so restrictive and completely repetitive of other characters further in this series.
Callan and Merinus’ father both sound just like Jonas, all growly and rough.
But a lot of characters voices in this first book are used for others further on.
