Gillham Pack #4
Noah
Noah has lived in isolation most of his life. He’s a demon, and demons keep to themselves. He’s not satisfied with his life, though. One night he sneaks out and meets Duncan. He likes the man, but he knows he can’t be with him because it would mean losing everything.
Duncan knows what he wants, and he wants Noah. He doesn’t care—much—about his homophobic parents’ reaction. He knows he has the support of his friends and most of the pack, and that’s enough for him. Will it be enough for Noah, though?
As Noah and Duncan get to know each other, Noah has to make a decision—his parents, or his mate? Choosing his parents means he’ll have to marry a woman and have children, even if he’s gay. Choosing Duncan means he’ll lose everything he’s ever known. Or not?

About the author
Catherine Lievens
337 books261 followersCatherine is the creator of several series, most of them paranormal, including the Whitedell Pride Series and the Gillham Pack Series. While she graduated in translation, she decided to go the writer’s way because it was more fun to create her own stories and characters.
She’s been living in Italy for more than twenty years, but she’s a daughter of the North—Belgium to be precise—and she misses it so much that she’s already planning to move back.
She loves pizza—probably too much —her pets, and of course, books. She sneaks some reading time in her schedule every time she has five minutes free from writing, demands from her various pets and son, and lastly, housework.

Noah is a demon. Demons do not mix with others so Noah has led a life of isolation. He knows there must be more. He sneaks out to go to a club and meets Duncan. He really likes Duncan but knows nothing can come of that. Duncan knows that Noah is his mate and is willing to come out to his homophobic parents to prove that. He is hoping that is enough. Noah wants to have Duncan in his life but choosing him means losing his family.
Noah was a unique character as they were unaware of demons. He really wanted to do what his parents wanted but he also knew he would not be happy. Had to choose his own happiness or that of his parents. The more he saw Duncan, the more he wanted him. Duncan was very supportive and did not want to push, too much. An unlikely pair we had some more fun reading. Catherine Lievens keep her series fresh by giving us a unique story each time. Noah is a perfect addition to the Gillham Pack series.

This was book 4 in the
"Gillham Pack"
series. This was a short quick read that I liked. Noah has lived in isolation most of his life. He’s a demon, and demons keep to themselves. He’s not satisfied with his life, though. One night he sneaks out and meets Duncan. He likes the man, but he knows he can’t be with him because it would mean losing everything. Turns out Duncan is his mate, and Duncan knows what he wants and its Noah. This was a pretty good read in a series that I have started but only got to book 3. Duncan is the brother of Derick who I met in book 2 of the Whitedell Pride his parents are homophobic, and he has to deal with Noah's parents. I like reading this author her books are always entertaining. This book was well written with no errors in grammar or spelling. I am looking forward to reading more books in this series.

Cool! I didn't read the summary, so I was not expecting a new species! I enjoyed their intro, but I feel like it was really tame to what I would have enjoyed reading. It was nice the way it was written, and maybe people prefer it this way.

Noah is a young demon. He feels stifled by his autocratic family into following his father’s footsteps into the family business, and feels bullied into providing an heir after marrying the perfect woman, even though he’s gay and a painter.
Duncan is Derick’s brother who we met in Whitedell Pride #2. He’s a wolf shifter who’s parents have already shown themselves to be homophobic jerks and though he identifies as bi-sexual, he is willing to accept his mate whether they are a man or a woman.
When Noah and Duncan meet at a club Noah is very attracted to Duncan, but runs. Duncan knows Noah is his mate, tries to get information from him, but only manages to slip him his number.
Luckily, Noah’s own attraction and sense of adventure lead Noah to seek Duncan out. When they meet Duncan does everything he can to convince Noah to give him a chance.

I have been a fan of Catherine Lievens’ since the Whitedell Pride and I have read most of the books in that series and the spin-off series, Gillham Pack. I have to say that I enjoyed Whitedell a bit more (so far) the Gillham. For whatever reason the MCs haven’t done it for me as much as they did in the Pride series.
I was excited about Noah because I saw we were introducing a Demon into the mix of paranormal creatures. This did not pan out.
I didn’t really see anything “demonic” about Noah except his appearance. For all intents and purposes he’s a twink with horns, blue hair a tail and some strange markings. There was absolutely nothing magical about him.
I was very disappointed with this book. I LOVE the cover and really like the author, but this was a dud.
Noah was very immature, he acted more like a teen-ager than a young adult. He didn’t do anything magical. His friend Demi had some interesting potential but I could never quite figure out if he was being a help or a hindrance, so that was just frustrating. Noah whined a lot but didn’t do much and then seemingly without a reason flips over into being all about Duncan and mating.
Duncan was blah. He didn’t ever shift or do anything “wolfy”. Together he and Noah dithered about Noah telling his parents and Duncan telling his folks. Then they worried about it some more. They barely touched or had any sort of exciting “mine!” chemistry that I love with shifters and mates, and I never really felt their connection, even at the end.
I think the tail and horns on Noah were more a plot device for tail sex, which was only brief and not nearly as kinky-awesome as it could have been. I really wish we could have developed more of this new Demon element, given them some powers, explained their interactions with humans – done something with them that made them stand out as being “other”.
All in all I was very disappointed with this and can’t really recommend it. I’m certainly not giving up on either the author or the series, but in this case I wasn’t impressed.

Gillham Pack 4
Can you really live a life decided by others?
Noah has lived in isolation most of his life. He’s a demon, and demons keep to themselves. He’s not satisfied with his life, though. One night he sneaks out and meets Duncan. He likes the man, but he knows he can’t be with him because it would mean losing everything.
Duncan knows what he wants, and he wants Noah. He doesn’t care—much—about his homophobic parents’ reaction. He knows he has the support of his friends and most of the pack, and that’s enough for him. Will it be enough for Noah, though?
As Noah and Duncan get to know each other, Noah has to make a decision—his parents, or his mate? Choosing his parents means he’ll have to marry a woman and have children, even if he’s gay. Choosing Duncan means he’ll lose everything he’s ever known. Or not?
Summary:
It is sad how some people are intolerant of anyone who is different from them. Noah had lived his life in a town that was hidden from everyone who wasn't a demon. The few times he had snuck out with his Demi showed him what the world was like, but he never expected to find his mate, Duncan. It was interesting how demon society was separated by the coloration of the tattoos they were born with. Noah was considered higher classed than Demi, but that didn't mean anything to him. Duncan l was happy with his life even though he knew that his parents would never accept him because they disowned his brother when they learned he was gay. It was understandable how long it took Noah to choose his mate or his family, but that didn't make it any easier for Duncan while he waited. Duncan's love for Noah was evident when he waiting patiently giving Noah the time and support he needed to make his decision that could change his life forever.

I'm like 50/50 on this book. The first half of the book I really did not like noah. I actually felt bad for Duncan bc his mate was kind of a spoiled jerk. He was really inconsiderate of Duncan's feelings most of the time. By the end of the book I didn't totally dislike him anymore but I wish he had became a little better of a person. Like maybe did something to really show Duncan how much he means to noah.

With Noah, we visit the wolves (and other species) of the Gillham pack. It is Noah's first visit, but not ours. Actually, this story represents Noah's first encounter with shifters in general.

I loved how this included the Whitedell Pride and introduced the demons, I loved Noah and his friend…who will hopefully get his own story, too. I really liked the demons and hope we'll get more varied paranormal types of characters in future stories!
