Publisher's Summary:

I am called Chapel . . .

For nearly six centuries I have roamed the night, a mortal man no longer. Would that I could undo the past -- when I entered the sanctuary of the Knights Templar to wrest from them the Holy Grail, only to discover the chalice I raised to my lips was not the sacred relic but a hellish cup of damnation. Now I shun the day and all things human, driven by an ungodly thirst. And yet...

Never have I known a maiden the like of Prudence Ryland, whose beauty and spirit awaken a heart I feared long cold and dead. But her young life is slipping away, and she also seeks the deliverance of the Grail -- unaware that the cost of her search could be her soul. I must help Prudence, for in six hundred years, no other woman has stirred my passions so. But dare I tender to my beloved that which she most desires -- the sensuous "gift" of forever that is both rapture and a curse: my immortal kiss?

AAHHHHH, WHAT A JOY WHEN A WRITER GETS IT RIGHT !

I just couldn't stop listening to this book, it held my attention throughout. It's basically another 'twist' on the vampire genre (they are the 'originals' ) but with a nice romantic plot .

I hope Kathryn Smith has taken her phone off the hook, cancelled her weekends and doesn't intend to take any holidays because I want MORE MORE MORE of the Knights Templar stories please please please!

If you like vampire romance then hit the Add to Cart button now - you won't be disappointed.

The original Vampires

A believable concept on how vampires came to be. Thoroughly realistic. There were some wonderful moments in the book, however there were parts that dragged on. I didn't need to know every lil detail of her clothing, maybe description of one outstanding outfit, but not needed for other daily wear. Also I would have liked there to have been more detail of how the inside of the tomb/cellar looked. This was very vague, except to say the cup wasn't there. Did they thoroughly search it? Or just gave up because someone else beat them there and they believed they had it. (This wasn't cleared up for a certainty) This story deals mostly with the illness and impending death of Prudence. All of the soul searching and what ifs became truly boring.

The narrator had a pleasing voice, however she just read the story. It wasn't a performance.

She didn't have a wide range of voices. Everyone sounded basically the same. Some deviation, not very much.

Love, love, love this series!

Where does Be Mine Tonight (The Brotherhood of Blood, Book 1) rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?

This is one of my favorite listens so far.

What did you like best about this story?

I love everything about this book and it just gets better as the series progresses.

Have you listened to any of Vanessa Harts other performances before? How does this one compare?

No

Any additional comments?

I can't wait until audible adds more to this series!

The brotherhood really

Can't really get excited about these vampires. The premise of the story starts off well enough. But then the story takes a turn and seems to concentrate on saving the girl who is dying rather than establishing the characters that will make up the brotherhood. It's a little weak with the potential to be better.

Wrapping Up a Series

This book is the last in a series along a common theme, but written by four different authors. All of these titles are currently available on audible. I will list them in order as follows:

1) Lord of the Vampires by Gina Showalter

2) Lord of Rage by Jill Monroe

3) Lord of the Wolfyn by Jessica Anderson

4) Lord of the Abyss by Nalini Singh

To understand this book properly, the other three need to be read, preferably in order.

To sum up the premise behind the series: A kingdom is conquered by an evil sorcerer. The king and queen are killed in the battle. The three princes and one princess are spirited away by a last minute spell cast by their parents as they died, but the spell is more or less simultaneously corrupted by the sorcerer when he figures out what the parents are up to. Each book is about one of these four royal children. You find out what happened to them after the spell was cast, and discover their adventures in finding their way back to the kingdom of their birth, and of course, finding love along the way.

I get in the mood for light entertainment, so this series filled a slot for me just fine. However, If you are a serious sci fi or fantasy buff, this probably isn't the series for you. This is light romantic fantasy. These books are more like childhood fairy tales that have been spiced up for adults with liberal sex scenes and romantic intrigue.

Of the four authors who write in this series, Gina Showalter and Nalini Singh were the ones I was most familiar with, having devoured many of their books. I can't say that either of them wrote up to standard for this series, and I have to think that perhaps they treated it as something of a side gig and didn't pour as much time of effort into it as they do most of their other work.

Isabelle Gordon did a great job with the book. Her vocalization of the story added drama and her pacing was excellent. I gave her 5 stars for her performance, 3 for the story, rounding out to a solid 4 overall.

Good Ending to the Series

This wasn't my favorite of the series but it was still a good listen. As other reviewers have stated this isn't Nalini Singh's typical style of writing. After reading the previous 3 books I felt compelled to listen to this one (I had to know how it ended).

This one had a good plot and a nice mix of excitement and romance. If your looking for a light read then this series is for you.

I can't really say the entire series is credit worthy, but definitely a good get on sale.

Elden's Beauty and the Beast the end story

This is the final book in the tale of Elden. This is book four and it wraps up this usual fairy tale splendidly. I think this is a combination of Beauty and the Beast and the princess and the frog. Both stories are pleasantly blended together in this sensual love story. Micha is the youngest born to crown of Elden is lost to all with his memories missing.

Vladimir Rurikovich, an elite member of the European Council of Vampires, is on the prowl for a murderous vampire fugitive on the night he saves Ava from the clutches of death.

narrator critique

The narrator was awesome!!!!!!!!! Great job! Hope you narrate more of this wonderful author (not to mention my favorite one) books!

Loved the story but....

The download claimed it was an unabridged version but in reality it was the abridged version. Very disappointing.

said unabridged but was abridged- missing a good

portion of the book. I liked the book,-just feel cheated cuz I had the book and know the difference that is missing

Where the female cries hysterically--victorian?

I'm about 15 minutes into this book and absolutely cannot tolerate the narrator's interpretation of the female. Every female line is poised on the edge of utter hysteria, like a swooning, high strung victorian victim on the verge of fainting at any moment. Apparently, to this narrator, women are still painted as hysterical, weak, tearful, & manipulattiv. The male interpretations and 3rd person narrative are relatively consistent with Feehan's style. I've read all 40-something of her books--maybe save 3 and nowhere are the females as insipid as in this book. Whether the author or narrator--time will tell.

Finishing this book--from my favorite author--will be, sadly, an endurance experience. I'd better get a hard copy.

Good story, hate narrator's 'female' voices

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

No, didn't like narrator's depiction of female characters. Would hope a better narrator does book before I recommend as audio. Book itself is great so would recommend book.

What three words best describe Phil Gigantes voice?

Patronising to females

Any additional comments?

Phil Gigante reads well as long as he is reading description or male voices. His depiction of female thoughts, voices is very patronising and he should rethink this part of his performance as soon as possible.

Don't waste a Credit

AUDIO IS HORRIBLE!!!

See post on book one in the series. Until its re-done, do not waste a credit getting these 2 books.

Fast response from audible request and great

After the first book of this series I couldn't wait for this installement. It was great and audible had it up so fast--way to go

This was awful, please don't waste your money.

This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

I can't imagine.

What do you think your next listen will be?

Anything by Patricia Briggs.

What didnt you like about Jessica Almasys performance?

Too fake!

You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

None what so ever!

Any additional comments?

I wonder how this book passed the publisher.

Better than the first

The Narrator Jessica Almasy did just as well with this as with the first.

The Story/Plot was actually a bit better imho then the first book. The chars grow and you see it by their actions, thoughts, coming to understandings about themselves, etc. It was a good sequel to the first book. I will likely get another in this series if Gena Showalter writes another.

If you enjoyed the first, then you will very likely enjoy this one as well.

Good series

I enjoyed these first two books. Im really hoping that there will be more to come!

This zany paranormal will work its magic with MacAlisters many fans and make some new ones along the way. (Booklist)

Members Reviews:

LMAO!

I love Katie's books and I think Barbara Rosenblat did a great job narrating this book! I can't wait to download the next one!!

-Sandie

Love my Dragons!

I have been a faithful Katie Macalister fan from day 1.... Before I joined Audible-I READ every series she has out and in doing so, my mind had created it's own opinion of all the character's voices, traits, etc... So, when I purchased and began listening to the Audible versions- narrated by Barbara Rosenblat, I admit I was a bit worried it wouldn't do them justice.... Her voice is very distinct- BUT... Oh, how I was SOOOO wrong!!!! Barbara's unique vocal ranges and absolutely superb variations on the characters accents BLEW ME AWAY!!! There really is no other narrator who could pull it off so flawlessly! Bravo Katie, and BRAVO Barbara!!!!

Sequel?

Though not quite up to the Green Dragon series, this book is great fun. My only complaint is that the next volume in the Silver Dragons' series is not yet available in an audible format. This volume really leaves the reader hanging at the end.

Holy Jehosephat!

May has to deal with being consort to Magoth, and worry about him running loose on Earth. She is mate to Gabriel, and has to deal with the Lindborn Phylactery becoming the Northcutt Phylactery when the Dragon shard... May helps Cyrene petition a surfing Neptune for reinstatement as a Naiad when she lets her spring become befouled. Just when she thinks her link with Magoth is severed.... May gets into and thru many interesting situations and KM's imagination continues to amaze me.

Rosenblat does really well as narrator.

Recommend.

I so enjoy this series

I liked it so much I brought the audible version as well. May's twin was the only thing I found irritating in the story. Boy did she irk me. Granted it wasn't her fault she was written that way. I still dislike Kostya. He seems too ridiculous. I can't help but to think how was he second in command to anyone. Otherwise I liked the storyline.

Publisher's Summary:

Slayer Samantha Rose's latest mission is to recover the stolen page - and get payback from the only man who's ever rejected her. What she hasn't counted on is the raging attraction between them - or her growing realization of what Maclean has survived. As the powers of the evil from his past gather, Sam will do anything to help him - even if it means following him into time and facing his worst nightmares with him.

Members Reviews:

I really don't like the narrator.

I hesitate to say it again but it's such a shame that such good stories are read by a narrator that is so irritating. All her characters are portrayed well except the lead female. In all the books she has narrated, the lead always, ALWAYS has this stupid self-rightous, whiney tone that is soooooo annoying. It makes the character so one dimensional and they aren't. Each of the woman in these books has some depth and it gets lost in the attitude.

Other than the narrator, I really like these stories. The good/evil premise is a bit extreem and black and white but the people are interesting and it's well written.

Horrible narrator

I couldn't stand the narrator, and it was so distracting that any interest in the book vanished. Read it instead of listening to it, and save yourself the irritation.

I loved it! Listened & Read the entire series.

I am sooo sad to see the Masters of Time series come to an end. This was one of my favorites. Ian suffered so much but Sam stood right by his side. Such a moving and adventourous story. I enjoyed this narrator 5 stars to her also, she was part of he reason I pruchsed the entire series. (So disappointed with part 1 Dark Seduction-diffrent narrator And she was HORRIBLE!) (Not to happy when I realized it was NOT J Van Dyke). (Endured the torture to hear Malcolms story)

Jennifer Van Dyke made me feel like I was part of the story. Made me want to travel back in time meet a Mid-evil highlander and fall in love.

Good thing this was part of a 2 for 1 credit deal.

This title completely turned me off of anything else by Brenda Joyce. It was a typical "bodice ripper" written with a juvenile voice. The synopsis looked promising, but I did more than just a little bit of eye rolling as I suffered through the performance. The characters are one-dementional, and the situations the author puts them in are laughable. Fans of the paranormal romance genre shouldn't waste time (or good brain cells) on this blather.

Dark Warriors

This was my favourite in this series. I liked that the male lead was helped by the female lead to overcome obstacles in the present day instead of the medieval times.

"I'm extremely excited about this new series and anxiously await the next book. I believe that the battle is far from over. It is just the beginning." (Romantic Times)

"Ms. Arthur has written an inventive story with great characters, romance, suspense, humor, and dragons.... The dialogue is witty, the plot is engrossing and I particularly like the ending, it is very satisfying." (Coffee Time Romance)

Members Reviews:

Eh, it was okay

I like Keri Arthur's writing, just not sure how much I liked this particular story. Felt it was a bit slow in spots and not sure I'd listen to this again. It was a predictable ending and no real surprises.

I'm trying but it's boring

i don't get the relationship between the main characters and I've tried 'reading' this twice now. The dialogue is so implausible that I end up editing it in my mind. I've enjoyed other books by Keri Arthur, but this one is just so bad I don't think I can do it. Unless you're a diehard fan, save your credit.

Typical paranormal romance story

Keri Arthur is very good at sexually explicit romance stories, often with supernatural beings populating them. I would put her in the Sherilyn Kenyon, Christine Feehan, Laurell K. Hamilton group of writers. I was attracted to this book because it was a departure from the usual vampire and werewolf story. This time we have dragons. The book starts off great, but it soon falls down to your average paranormal romance novel. That may not be a problem for lovers of the genre, but I just wished Keri Arthur could have stayed up above the average mark.

I liked the female narrator. I think she did a good job with the material.

Love this story

I bought this audiobook because Audible had a sale on the books that Cassandra Campbell narrates. I hadn't heard her narration before and absolutely fell in love with her. She does such a wonderful job of portraying the characters to their fullest and definitely separating each individual character by different voices and accents. The story was awesome as well. I really enjoyed Destiny's and Trae's story. They are very different individuals, yet they mesh really well. I am going to finish this Myth and Magic Series and move on to other Keri Arthur books and Cassandra Campbell narrated books. Keri did a really great job with the story. She gave us suspense, thrill and romance in one neatly created story.

I am hooked

Not a huge fan of her Riley Jensen series but totally loving this series. Exciting and new. Well done Arthur.

Members Reviews:

Pleasantly Surprised

Usually when I get an audio book, I choose one based on the amount of 5 star ratings it gets and of course based on the back cover info. This one had no reviews but after reading what it was about, I gave it a try. This book was a very fun read and I thought it had a great story line that kept me so intertained that I found myself a little surprised and sad to hear its last words. If you like good scifi I recomend this one. It kind of has the feel of the star trek shows.

Boring horrible narrator!!!

What would have made The Morcai Battalion better?

A better plot better characters better narrator!!!

What do you think your next listen will be?

Awaken me darkly hopefully it's better.

You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

Nope couldn't even finish it

Not too bad...

I read books for entertainment. If I enjoy it and it helps me continue to work or I don't want to put them down or shut them off then they are worth it. This was worth it. It is a little violent and odd with all of the cloning but other wise a good read.

sci fi or romance

This does resemble an old Star trek, but I cant make it past the first few chapters when Scotty got cycled out through the air lock. This is one of those futuristic romances written in the eighties by an author who should have stuck to plots in the twentieth century.
