This is the first book in the Cruel Shifterverse series told from multiple POVs. Sadie joins Ascher, Cobra, and Jax when, after being tested, it's discovered she is the first female Alpha shifter. She is thrown into a new world, training for war against the Fae. Sadie comes from a traumatic past. Before being discovered as an alpha, she was a severely abused indentured servant. But she puts on a brave face in front of the other alphas to show she is not weak and hides her scars. The attraction between the alphas is hot and intense, giving off why choose vibes. This is a slow burn, spicy reverse harem with a new take on the Omegaverse. I think the author did an amazing job with Sadie's character. The story has plenty of dark humor, an unhealthy coping mechanism as Sadie endures more traumatic events, and ends on a cliffhanger, leaving you wanting more.

I listened to the audiobook. It was narrated by Mollie Stark, Jaime Lincoln Smith, Teddy Hamilton and Jeremy York. They are all great narrators and some of my favs. They all did a great job capturing the emotions and personalities of the characters. Mollie Stark and her ability to capture the raspy voice of Sadie was amazing!

Was this book on the same level as blood of Hercules? No. However, this is book one of six. I feel things will be more in depth as far as the world and characters throughout the books to follow in this series. Did I enjoy this book? Yes! The characters are definitely psycho and have their issues. So the title is fitting. The MFC is strong and fierce despite all that life has handed her. The MMC’s are tattooed, jeweled and horned beasts of hotness. There was a plot. There was things I didn’t see coming. There was also some humor and good banter between the characters. I liked the uniqueness of the characters and their shifter abilities. As far as the romance and spice, there are some steamy scenes but, not much happens between the main characters.

Overall it was a good, fun, steamy read and I’m looking forward to the next book. The way this one ended has left me with questions I need answers to!
I give it 3.75 ⭐️

If you like fantasy, steamy romance, morally gray alphas, a strong, fierce heroine and tropes like why choose and enemies to lovers, I’d recommend giving this book a try. The cast of narrators for the audiobook didn’t disappoint. I loved the narrators! There are some things that won’t be for everyone and that some may find triggering so keep that in mind before starting this.

Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to listen to this ALC!

What would you do if you woke up one day and everything changed? That change including 3 alphas training you 🥵

Sadie grew up as a servant for 20 years being beat everyday. And then a hooded man comes and says she needs to be tested. The Sacred Lake shows her as being an alpha, so she whisked away to go to a portal and help guard from the fae.

Jacks, Cobra, and Ash are the alphas there and they have to train her. I loved their banter and the character development from all of them.

I finished this book in a day it was so good I couldnt put it down.

Thank you Jasmine Mas, Harlequin Audio, and NetGalley for letting me listen to this and review it

Psycho Shifters takes place in the Cruel Shiftersverse series about Alpha and Beta shifters tasked with protecting the realm. The book came out in 2022 but has been rereleased with a special edition paperback with sprayed edges as well as a duet audiobook with multiple narrators.

Ever since reading Blood of Hercules, this series has been on my tbr and I can tell you, if you loved BoH as much as I did, you’ll probably love this series too. They have very similar tone, characters, plot, themes and just overall vibes. I’m looking forward to reading the rest of the series. The narration was spot on with the multiple narrators all doing their own characters throughout the chapters so it made it easy to follow along with which character was speaking.

⚔️ reverse harem
☠️ touch her and die
🐍 shifter creatures/Omegaverse
⚔️ MMFM/MMM
🐶 the underdog FMC that will do anything to prove her worth and strength
⚔️ did I mention RH?
🔥 slow burn

This is a quick, easy to digest omegaverse romantasy. It was fun, a bit wild but the world building was really easy to follow along with. Some great humor mixed in. I would recommend it to friends.

Thanks to NetGalley, Harlequin Audio, Harlequin Trade Publishing & Canary Street Press for the eARC and ALC copies to read and listen to.

I immediately went out and bought this book after listening to the audio. I loved the plot, the characters and I was an immediate fan of the fmc.

💕Why choose romance

I loved every minute of this full cast, duet-style narrated audiobook! The narrators embody all the best feral, unhinged, and chaotic elements of these characters.

Sadie is tenacious and resilient—a survivor with the heart of a warrior despite her frail and small stature. Jax, Ascher, and Cobra are frustratingly handsome, intriguing, and unnerving in equal measure.

The narrators explore the highs and lows of each character and their warring emotions towards Sadie. I loved the shift transformations, Sadie’s unique abilities, and the evolving relationships between the characters. Sadie’s journey is just beginning and I cannot wait for what’s next.

With biting humor, sizzling tension, and deep betrayals, Psycho Shifters is a dark and thrilling why choose fantasy romance series starter!

Huge thanks to the author, Harlequin Audio, and NetGalley for the audio listening copy. This is my honest and voluntary review.

🎧 Audiobook Review: Psycho Shifters by Jasmine Mas
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 for performance
🎭 Full cast • Duet narration • Dark paranormal RH

I had the absolute pleasure of listening to the ALC of Psycho Shifters, and WOW—the audio experience ate. Every single narrator brought something unique to the table and made this wild, bloody, and chaotic world come alive in the best way.

Mollie Stark was phenomenal as Sadie. Her delivery had the perfect blend of sharp wit, vulnerability, and bad bitch energy. She nailed every emotional beat—from the sass to the heartbreak—and made Sadie feel like a real, fierce, and layered woman. I honestly can’t imagine anyone else voicing her.

Jaime Lincoln Smith, Jeremy York, and Teddy Hamilton? 🔥🔥🔥
Each brought serious alpha energy to the table. Jaime’s growly command, Jeremy’s intensity, and Teddy’s signature charm and emotional depth made Jax, Ascher, and Cobra completely irresistible. And Teddy? Ugh. Chef’s kiss. As always, he delivered the kind of narration that makes you forget you’re listening to fiction. I melted every time he spoke.

The duet style narration and full cast format worked perfectly for this story—it heightened the tension, deepened the dynamics, and honestly made the spicy scenes hit harder (in the best way). If you’re a fan of full-cast audiobooks and want something bold, twisted, and steamy with stellar voice acting, this one’s a must-listen.

Thank you NetGalley for the advanced listeners copy of this book.
This book was just not for me with the extremely immature main characters who are just ridiculously perfect. I didn’t like two of the narrators but the other did a good job. I just don’t think this author is my type of storyteller.

I absolutely loved this book! I was laughing out loud often. The banter was bantering! Cannot wait for the next books!

This book is five stars.

Will I be reading the next one? ASAP.
Would I recommend this to a friend? You betcha!

This series is going to be my next obsession. I couldn’t put this book down. The second I started listening, I couldn’t stop. Teddy Hamilton is a god-tier narrator, but I loved everyone!

This book has every trope that I love — why choose (again, if you know, you know), war academy setting (kind of, they’re more so on a base), and it has plenty of twists and turns. I thought the world-building was excellent and just enough to where I understood it, but it also set up a great continuation for the rest of the series because there is so much to still learn.

Sadie might be one of my favorite characters ever. She was so relatable and made me laugh quite a few times. Whether it was her inner monologue about her hatred for running or her love for kittens, there were so many times where I was like “same, girl, same.” She’s great and I can’t wait to read the rest of her story. I also loved how she is so strong and carries herself in such a positive manner. She’s been through so much, but it doesn’t stop her.

The only qualm I had with this was that there were SO many references from the three MMCs about how tiny and small Sadie is. It got quite frustrating because, like, we get it. She’s short. If the mentions were cut in half, I would have been happier, lol.

Honestly, I’m kind of mad at myself for not reading this sooner. It’s been on my radar for a while, and I’m glad I finally took the plunge. This was one of the best books I've read, and listened to, all year, and I can't wait to read the rest of the series.

Interesting concepts, love the different shifters, and Sadie being an alpha. I can't wait to find out about all of their abilities. This isn't the best writing, it is slow burn and such a tease. BUT! This is the type of book/series that you 100% have a good time reading if not binging! It gets brownie points for that!

I listened to the audiobook in one sitting, and I had a great time! There are multiple narrators, so each MC gets a voice, and they did a great job! Can't wait for the rest of the series to be released on audio!

Thank you to Harlequin Audio and NetGalley for the ALC. All opinions are my own.

I just had so much fun with this book! Big thanks to NetGalley and Harlequin Audio for the gifted audiobook. I’m so glad I also picked the physical book up to read along with!

The female narrator absolutely nailed it—such a great cast overall, but she brought Sadie to life. Sadie! What a strong, badass, hilarious alpha. She could easily fall into a victim mentality given everything she’s been through, but instead, she powers through with sarcasm, strength, and zero apologies. I related to her so much—using humor to deal with trauma is so real, and it was refreshing to see that in her.

The story follows Sadie as her life as a servant gets turned upside down. She now is working to prove who she is not only to herself, but to those around her as she continues to be underestimated. The story ends on a cliffhanger.
I listened to the audio book. Great duet narration, really brought the story to life. Thank you to the author and NetGalley for the chance to listen to the book. I did purchase the physical book myself.

"Psycho Shifters" by Jasmine Mas


Vibe Check: This Omegaverse ride is INSANE: our snarky survivor FMC literally vomits in the snow in front of three jeweled, horned psycho alpha shifters. Her trauma-forged superpower is pure fire against their skepticism, making this a dark, bloody, and wickedly humorous chaos. Get ready for unhealthy coping mechanisms you'll probably relate to.

Why it's a Must-Listen (and a Wild Omegaverse Ride): This book redefines #Omegaverse with Sadie, the first female Alpha, battling her adversarial shifters for dominance, not just enduring them. Expect high heat and graphic violence balanced by sharp humor, plunging you into a unique world where power is taken, not given. It's an unforgettable journey into dark desires and ultimate reclamation.

Why it works as a multicast: This audiobook is perfection, featuring Teddy Hamilton, Jeremy York, Jaime Lincoln Smith and the ON POINT Mollie Stark. Mollie's 'numb' voice is everything, and Jaime Lincoln Smith's #OwnVoices portrayal is next level. For a complex #ReverseHarem, this vocal powerhouse ensures you're utterly immersed in the snark, brutality, and Sadie's incredible journey.

This was a fun one!
I love an omegaverse book, and I love seeing how each author establishes the society necessary for the ABO dynamic. Jasmine Mas created a super fun world and I loved how she combined the magic system with the ABO one.
I definitely felt like it was a bit too “much” at times which led me to not relate to the fmc, hence me docking a star, but overall I did enjoy it and I will likely be continuing this series.
I’m really glad I listened to this as an audiobook, the narrators did a fantastic job!

I loved every. single. Second of this audio!! The female narrator did phenomenal! I love the sound of her voice! You obviously can’t go wrong with Teddy Hamilton but Jeremy York and Jamie Lincoln Smith (who is new for me) ?? That made for an amazing experience! Jasmine Mas just seems to have a way to suck me in.

I was provided with an ALC for the re-release of this book. All of the narrators did a great job, but I particularly think the FMC narrator did an amazing job. The character is supposed to have a raspy voice, which she had and she seemed to really be giving a performance with her narration.

In terms of the book, I saw a lot of similarities in Sadie’s character and the FMC from Blood of Hercules by the same author. The world building and character development is more rapid in this book. It does have some plot twists and leaves some items outstanding with a cliff hanger making you want to continue reading the series. The book is a little spicy, but I expect the series will get a whole lot spicer with a FMC and 3 MMCs.

Thank you to Harlequin Audio and NetGalley for the Alc of Psycho Shifters.

This coincided perfectly with receiving the physical book with the new cover and sprayed edges, which is gorgeous. The rate at which I consumed this book is on a whole new level. I feel like I blinked and it was finished. I was invested the entire time and had to know what was going to happen next. I listened to the audio along with reading the physical book. The audiobook is hands-down five stars. I loved that it was a duet narration and helped make a better distinction among the various characters. There are four narrators, and they all did an amazing job. Overall, the author's note at the end said it best: this is just a fun read, and I wholeheartedly agree. You will love this if you enjoy shifters, multiple POVs, slow burn, and a lot of dark humor vibes!

3.5⭐️ ALC review of the audiobook.

I loved this. I love the way Jasmine writes her FMCs here and in Blood of Hercules. The self-deprecation and sense of humor crack me up. The way she writes makes me want to keep reading (or in this case, listening). There was a lot of spice (MM and MF), and the story itself was just fun. It reminded me a lot of Blood of Hercules and also kind of The Bonds that Tie series. My only complaint is that it’s a bit repetitive and that’s the only reason it isn’t rated higher.

For the audiobook specifically- the female VA had a lot of sibilance that made it difficult to listen to. I liked her voice acting overall and she did a really good job with this particular character, but the sibilance was just a lot. The male VAs were great (Teddy Hamilton 🔥). They all did a good job conveying the story.

I’m so sad the rest aren’t on audio for a while but I’m definitely going to have to just read the rest of the series on my kindle.

Thank you NetGalley & Harlequin Audio for the ALC. 🖤

Received the ALC for this and I am utterly obsessed!!! I had no idea what to expect as this is my first time read of the author and immediately adding her to auto buy!!! I freaking loved how relatable our FMC was and the witty sarcastic banter between our main 4 was omg amazing!!! I loved watching the FMC grow and change into owning her bad assery. There are books that come along that strike a chord… this one struck them all! And the audiobook… 5 stars!!! Loved the duet narration. I felt so immersed in the story!
