Audiobook Review of How To Run With the Wolves by Eli Easton & Matthew Shaw

How To Run With The Wolves (Howl At the Moon #5) Written by Eli Easton & Narrated Matthew Shaw 5*
BLURB: Zeus loves his job on the Mad Creek search and rescue team, and his inner Saint Bernard is finally being used to his full potential. When he sees a mysterious and wild-looking quickened - a dog shifter - at an earthquake site in Alaska, Zeus is compelled to investigate.
Zeus falls hard for the primal beauty of Timo and of Alaska itself. Both call to his deep canine soul. But the Qimmig pack’s laws are as harsh as the Alaskan winters, and Timo is out of his reach.
Timo’s pack of dog shifters left their Inuit village generations ago and have lived wild, ever since. Not trusting the “one-skinned” and with their numbers dwindling, the Qimmig are on the verge of extinction.
Timo is shocked to discover a whole group of “two-skinned” working as a rescue team, and he is particularly fascinated by Zeus, a gentle giant. He senses what Zeus feels for him, but it’s forbidden.
Can Mad Creek save this lost quickened clan? Perhaps, if they can learn how to run with the wolves...
My Review: “I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.” 
I have reviewed the ebook version before so, to quote from that review:-

I just loved Zeus & Timo, but I also really enjoyed the fact that a lot of my favourites from the previous books showed up, even though much of the book is set far away from Mad Creek. The contrasts between Zeus and Timo was just right for the slow build up of their romance and I really liked the way Timo learnt about the world away from his life in the wilds. In fact the secondary characters from Alaska were all so very interesting and I can't wait to read more about them. The problems the tribe were suffering from was handled with knowledge and sensitivity.
So what made the audio book even better than the ebook?
Answer, Matthew Shaw.
He did such a wonderful job of voicing the characters and bringing Eli's world to life that I felt like this was a previously unread story. He managed to make each voice match the character so that I always knew who was talking and he never faltered in adding just the right amount of emotional depth to every second of narrative.
