The Man Behind the Monster (Ran #1) was a good read by Sarah Noffke. Ben Lewis was born with the power to control minds, read people’s thoughts, and hypnotize others. Ben knows that no one should be born with so much power. At ten years old, he received his gifts and a monster awoke within him. He allowed the powers to corrupt him. Ben knows that in order to find some peace, he must kill the monster. I really enjoyed this book and can’t wait to read more by the author.
The description is spot on with saying that Ren is an Anti-Hero. It does take awhile to get to like Ren. He is that bad. He is also an interesting person to follow. He is scared of his feelings and of the monster he thinks controls him. It takes a long time but eventually he sees a better way. It will be interesting to see what happens to Ren.
Wow this is a Fantastic series. Its a fast paced read that is action packed. I couldn’t put the book down. It had me on the edge of my seat. If your a lover of the Supernatural and Thrillers this is a definite must Read. I love the creativity in this it is epic. The Narrator does a Fantastic job. And the Author really brings out the world building and the Characters you feel like your right there living vicariously through the characters. I definitely recommend this read.

This well written and narrated audiobook is excellent. It tells the story of Ren Lewis, a dream traveller who was born with amazing gifts, but instead of seeing them as a beautiful thing he sees them as making him a monster. It is not so much the gifts themselves but rather his abuse of his ability to read thoughts, hypnotize and control minds that causes him to view himself as such. This book details the story of his life and what made him the sarcastic, apathetic, abrasive and yet totally appealing character that he is. It chronicles Ren’s misuse of his powers, his mistakes, sorrows and the contacts and actions that cause him to change. I loved how the author tied in all her other series and filled out the details about Ren that were missing in the other books and yet she didn’t give too much away for those who haven’t read them yet. Ren is my favourite character in all of Sarah Noffke’s books. He is complex, tortured, a jerk and yet you can not help but love him. His dry sarcastic humour and underlying loneliness and despair draws you to him, your heart bleeds for his losses and pain but at the same time you want to shake him and make him realize that he has worth and is not the monster he thinks he is. Tim Campbell’s narration fits this character perfectly. His deep, gritty voice and correct British accent (even down to the pronunciation of words that are said differently in England) brings the character to life and reveals that underlying sexiness that is so appealing in this character. The Dream Traveller world that Sarah Noffke has created in her books is intricate and captivating and this story continues to add depth to an already amazing world. I can not wait until the next audiobook in this series is out.
Ren: The Man Behind the Monster (Ren Series #1), my twenty-fourth read from author Sarah Noffke . I got this book back in February of 2017 and somehow never got around to reading it. A well written, interesting read, with intriguing, well-developed characters. Up next is Ren: God’s Little Monster (Ren Series #2). (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 – July 24, 2018).
To start with AHHHHHHHH! Ren is someone you LOVE to HATE!! The BAD GUY, but why do I love him soo. I have read the whole Reverians Series, so I knew a little about Ren from that series BUT… never have you been in his head to know how exactly he feels/thinks. I’ve waited a long time to be in his head. And he didn’t disappoint. He was perfectly crazy, there were times when I wanted to wring his neck, he was that bad. And then, there were times when I wanted to give him a great big hug and tell him it was going to be ok.
There’s nothing I love more than complex characters who are mysterious at first, but then allow you to understand though a great backstory and this is one of those characters.
In this book you dive deeper into Ren’s life. His Past, Present and a peek into his future. I don’t want to give any spoilers because I think you should read this book. It’s told from Ren’s point of view. Sarah Noffke is an extremely talented Author. I highly highly recommend this book, It has been the best book I have read this year. Now on to Ren God’s little Monster. Soo excited to see what happens next. GO AND READ THIS BOOK, YOU WILL REGRET IT IF YOU DON’T.
