Perfect Powers: A Dark Fantasy Novella
by Meredith Tucker
narrated by Kelvin Witherspoon-Sudron

I received a complimentary audio copy and am voluntarily leaving a review.

James has it all: wealth, beautiful houses, whatever his heart desires, whenever he desires it. But there is more to James than meets the eye. He is an immortal, part Morph wolf and part vampire, dividing his time between a magical realm and the Earthly plane. Yes, James has everything he could want apart from the special someone to share his life with. Oh, he has women, no doubt about that, but when he meets Eliza one night, she changes his world. She is everything he imagined, intelligent, beautiful, and pure.

Eliza can’t believe her luck when she falls for James, who sweeps her off her feet and envelops her in a world of her wildest dreams, trips to remarkable places and extravagant gifts. But during their time together, as their love strengthens, Eliza is unaware of the dark side that James is keeping from her. Can she unravel his secret before it is too late?

This is an interesting read from Meredith Tucker. I first assumed James led a privileged life, but that underneath, he was a good guy. The deeper I fell into the story, I realised this was far from the truth! Eliza lived her life with James basically in ignorance. He hid his secret well, but I also think she was naïve in trusting him so deeply. I did like the book but I feel I could not engage with the characters. I listened to the audiobook narrated by Kelvin Witherspoon-Sudron who is a great narrator, but I felt he could have shown more intense emotion at certain moments.

Perfect Powers is a novella; I am interested to see what happens next as the book ends on an intriguing note.

This paranormal book was good. I wish the ending was better. The narrator did a good job. The flow was adequate. I felt the main characters lacked depth.

Gifted audio in exchange for an honest review.
This audio was short and full of action and fantasy.

It has a fantasy world along side the actual world where no time moves when you enter the fantasy world.

The mmc is half evil and an overall morally gray character.
The fmc is naive to the fantasy world and very young at heart.

I wasn’t overly invested in the characters, I also am not 100% if this book is a stand alone or not. With the ending as it is guessing it is.

Meredith Tucker presents us a charming short family saga of a genteel shape shifting vampire and his early adult life. This was my first book from this author, but I will be buying more. ...and this isn't even my preferred genre. (No graphic sex or violence.)Kelvin Witherspoon Sudron does an excellent job with a geographically fitting accent and professional story telling.

This was a different kind of vampire story. James Daniels had it all a good job, good looks and a wealthy family. He also possesed a key that allowed him to enter a realm far beyond earth called The Magical Realm. Here is where he can truly be himself a Morph and a vampire. At first he doesn't kill, he just drinks enough to satisfy his hunger. After he takes a lover in this realm things change. The pair hunts and kills. In the meantime back on earth he has met Eliza. She is a quiet shy woman and James falls for her quickly. As he pursues her, he knows he has to hide his vampiric nature because he is afraid she will reject him if she finds out. A great read with a twist.
