Narration During Books Static
After two years together, Alex has been dreading the inevitable moment when Damon learns the truth: that Alex is a shifter, part of a small percentage of the population able to switch genders at will. Thanks to a forced implant, though, Alex is suddenly static—unable to shift—and male. Overnight, he’s out to a world that neither understands nor tolerates shifters . . . and to his heterosexual boyfriend.Damon is stunned to discover his girlfriend is a shifter, and scared to death of the dangers the implant poses to Alex’s health. He refuses to abandon Alex, but what about their relationship? Damon is straight, and with the implant both costly and dangerous to remove, Alex is stuck as a man.
Stripped of half his identity and facing serious physical and social ramifications, Alex needs Damon more than ever, but he doesn’t see how they can get through this.
Especially if he’s static forever.

A very interesting exploration of social gender roles and a touching romance. This seems to be a book people either love or hate--i fall firmly in the former.DNF @ 60%.......Audiobook. So, check this out: I fell asleep somewhere while listening to this and when I woke up about an hour later I didnt realize that I had missed 1.5 hours of narration. Why? Because they were having the same fucking conversation. One they had already had. Ya. Not going to stay on that merry-go-round even if the concept of gender shifting was interesting. This was just too shifter-phobic and slow moving for my tastes.
In the genre of M/M, I've read a lot of interesting stories. I tend to read a ton of shifter books, but they all have been of the animal variety. The idea behind "Static" is really a fascinating concept. A world where people can shift genders, I mean, how much cooler can it get?! I really wanted to love this one, because it is such an innovative idea. I am giving it extra stars for originality, however, it failed as a believable romance for me. There was a lot of good about this story. Much of
CNF at 60%/Chap 14 I tried so hard, but even with an amazing narrator, I couldn't finish this. I was bored....as in, I fell asleep a few times trying to get through it. I'm starting to wonder if this author is for me anymore. :-(
Wow! Such an enthralling story. As Damon (my favourite name ever!) says in the end, "Goddamn, what a ride."This was a completely foreign concept to me - shifters, but of genders and not bodies. But it was a very intriguing theme. Both Alex and Damon were amazing characters. A thing I liked a lot was that they both were very shy yet strong people, not bold and brazen. Another thing that I enjoyed was that they didn't have easy money, as very few people do in my life, so those stories don't give
I've given this an A for narration and an A- for content at AudioGals.I think its safe to say that the premise of L.A. Witts Static is one of the most original Ive come across. Its set in a world very like our own with one major difference shifters are known to exist, but instead of being able to assume animal shapes, these shifters are able to change gender at will. Some are straight, some are not; some are happy to spend their lives as one gender, some gravitate towards one but do shift
