Best in Paranormal

I received this audiobook free for an honest review. This is the first book I have listened to of Marlie Monroe. She did a great job of capturing the reader and keeping the hooked. The story between Rick and Sophie is so life like, for a paranormal. The thrill, suspense and romance kept me hooked until the end. Marlie does a great job of telling this type of story. She is thorough in her story plot and her character builds. The narrator did a great job of distinguishing each of the characters. Really enjoyed this book.

good shifter book!

I love shifter books. sadly some books can be hit or miss. This book was good! a total hit!

its a great fast paced story, and i love the HEA ending on this one.

the Narrator did a good job!

I would recommend this book to to shift fans who want a short sweet story.

Shape shifters

While another story about shape shifters this one follows the lead of all others. Girl in trouble finds her mate and he rescues her and she rescues him in return two years later she's having his baby. Although I did enjoy the story I do wish someone would throw a loop in the story. Why is there never a female shifter? Would love to see that and how it turns out.

Very enjoyable

This audiobook was given by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review via Audiobook Boom.

Very much enjoyed this story. The backstory, how they got together and they went through. And I do like shifter books read by men. Very enjoyable

Bear Protection

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Yes.

Its a sweet shifter story. Instant connection and lovers of protective males will love the book.

I liked that it referenced Rick being different than most other bears (Brown vs.

Publisher's Summary:

Kyra never usually did one night stands but after meeting nightclub owner Patton, she found the prospect extremely alluring.

There was something about his bad boy demeanor that just sucked her in. His strong jaw, his muscles, his tattoos. Everything about him made him so hard to resist, and Kyra simply could not say no.

But then after waking up in the morning to find her lover had vanished, she began to wonder if it was all a dream.

However, the bite on her neck was soon to become a reminder that this was all anything but a dream....

Members Reviews:

johnny Mack rocked it again he had me hooked

Kira sees something she doesn't want to with her boss. They send her on leave . Big mistake she comes back raring and ready for them. So need to get this.

Great narrator!

This book was okay. I'm all for vampire romances, but wow, it was so short! However, the story was performed wonderfully. The narrator is great and has a good range of voices.

Bad boy vamipire

If you could sum up Bitten by the Bad Boy in three words, what would they be?

friends, friends, club

What did you like best about this story?

I enjoyed the concept of the story. I like that it was a mystery on the who what when and where and that it kept me wondering if some things were really happening or if they were just a dream or what.

Which character as performed by Johnny Mack was your favorite?

Kyra of course. All of her friends were great too and i liked that Johnny Mack didn't try too hard for the girl voices and everything flowed smooth with their talking. i didn't care much for the vampire voice, it seemed just trying to hard for the deep smooth confident voice that is expected out of a vampire, but overall i really enjoyed the narration.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I laughed really hard near the end at the benefit, but other than that i really didn't have an extreme reaction. I would have preferred a little more actual vampires in the story and i really wasn't feeling any romance in the book.... yea, the vampire was sexy/smooth/hard to resist/etc.... but where was the romance? sex one night and a few forgotten conversations?

Any additional comments?

"This audiobook was provided by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review courtesy of Audiobook Blast."

Cute short story

I really enjoyed this short story. it was just the right size for a quick listen through on the weekend. Johnny Mack has a really nice voice that lent itself to the story :). I will check out more of the authors work.

JUST NO OMG AND NOT IN A GOOD WAY

Any additional comments?

The narrator didn't do a good job at the female voices he made the girls sound like guys trying to sound like girls, and doing such a bad job at it. His voice didn't sound bad he just sucks at female voices, which automatically killed this book for me.

Jace - incredibly charming with boy band good looks - is someone whom Tessa can't seem to stay away from...no matter how much she knows she should.

After surviving a strange animal attack, Tessa learns just how mysterious and secretive Jace really is, and that his secrets not only involve himself...but her as well, making Tessa question everything she's ever believed regarding her life and those around her.

Members Reviews:

Just no.

This story started out bothersome due to the mc being a cheater. It got better once she stopped, and then it just kept wavering between decent and annoying. Then by the end, I just kind of wanted to burn the book. Unfortunately, I don't have a physical copy to destroy. I wish it wouldn't have kept giving me hope of becoming good before ending so horrendously. Then perhaps I might have stopped listening. The only redeeming factor was the narrator. She did a great job.

Fun read

I really liked this book! It started to get really good and now I'm sad the 2 nd one isn't on audio I was thing about this book all the time and now I feel a little empty inside without

Paw prints

This is my first ever audiobook! Never thought I would like them but I was wrong, I love them. The narrarration is great! It flowed so smoothly. This story is hard to rate. I liked all the characters. I was really upset with Jace for not giving Tessa a choice but I'm sure there's more to it than that. I can't stand Shelby! Ugh! The story was full of suspense and kept making me want more. No dull moments. However, while the ending wasn't really a cliff hanger, I REALLY didn't like that it seems more like "part 1" of the story. If questions are answered in the second book I will be very happy

Howling at the Moon!

I enjoyed this story. Very well written and age appropriate for the YA genre. Jennifer presented well developed characters and a likeable storyline.

Betty Soo is a new narrator to me and she did the story justice. In had no problems listening to her as any of the characters except Rachel. I thought her version of Rachel made her sound older than 18. However, that did not prevent me from continuing.

The only downfall of this audiobook was the feedback in various chapters. It may have been a mic issues, but at least 5 chapters had noise. May want to check the sound and mic on the next book.

Danielle Smith was more than a little intrigued by Ty Kothari, the handsome man who lived next door. He never said much but he was definitely very eye catching and incredibly mysterious.

There were rumors that he was a "Tiger Shifter" who could no longer transform and with all shifters being known as dangerous people, it was advised that Danielle stay away.

But Danielle liked danger and she loved handsome shifters. It would only be a matter of time before she had the opportunity to unleash his tiger once again...

Members Reviews:

Too much thinking. Not enough dialogue

The narration was fine. However the main character could not get more than 2 words out without a paragraph of thoughts before the next word. On top of that, those thoughts were excessively repetitive! The main character did 90% of the talking. Making this a difficult listen. The story itself was good though the plot was limited.

Members Reviews:

Good book, horrible narration

This is a short sweet book about a photographer from the city who comes out to a wooded error and meets a man named James who is also a bear shifter. James knows immediately that Nissan is the make he never thought he'd find. The two have an instant connection and a HEA with a few bumps in the road.

The books narration was horrible. Probably in my top 5 worst narrations. The book was read in dual POV and seemed completely disjointed. I finished the whole audio and it just got worse.

I would recommend the kindle version over the audio. I really need to start listening to the samples before buying the audio.

Good book, bad narrators

The narrators distracted from the content of the book. I would recommended reading the book and skip the audio book.

However, they never expected this.

When the beautiful Meena turned up alone after her best friend flaked on her, she assumed the deal was off but instead of sending her back, the lions realized they could take her in and share her among themselves.

Meena never signed up to a "mail-order ménage" but after a short while she was not going to complain either.

Members Reviews:

interesting story but ? 1 sex seen for a menage??

there isn't enough substance between Tyler and Mia. Only one sex scenario? there could have been lots of reading. Didn't read any others of her books.

Save ur money.

This is a novella trying to be an epic story. It took 3 chapters to whine about their childhood that begins when they are 12 years and abruptly erupts in their mid twenties.

The boys both act like whine immature kids. How can they have a grown up relationship as complicated as a Menage?

They only reference their shapeshifter status without any mannerisms one would assume.

It's not until chapter 9 that the girl is introduced and they throw at her the boys are lions by walking her into the woods and she sees one. Her response? 'That's it then'.

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 66 votes

Genres: Romance, Fantasy

Publisher's Summary:

From New York Times best-selling author Deidre Knight: an electrifying tale of seven immortal Spartan warriors, bound to protect humankind from the evils of gods and demons alike...and destined to find love.

After 25 hundred years as an immortal protector, fate is trying Ajax Petrakos's patience. The lethal, but exquisite Greek warrior has been King Leonidas' right-hand man since ancient Sparta - and before their immortal bargain with the god Ares. The millennia of epic fighting has taken a toll on Ajax, and he's nearly given up on finding his prophesied love. Tasked with a mission in Savannah, Georgia, he hardly expects the tidewater town to shelter his destined mate.

Shay Angel has inherited her family's "sight", the ability to see demons and other creatures of the night. If you can call nearly losing the family home, being bloodied every night, and having a pack of demons out for your life an inheritance. As the first female demon-hunter in the Angel family, she quietly strives to unlock the secrets she knows her two brothers have been keeping from her. But their over-protectiveness might just be enough to put her in more danger than they could ever anticipate, when she comes face to face with an ancient winged warrior named Ajax.

When Ajax and Shay meet, their attraction is instant - and intense. But their time together is threatened by the demons that continue to stalk the Savannah streets - demons who seek only one objective: to consume humanity. Together, the fated lovers must solve an unavoidable prophecy, one that could mean the end of them if they don't act quickly; a prophecy that holds a life-shattering secret all its own.

I liked it

I had never heard a book by the author or narrator before and I most say that I am now a fan of both. Nice story. I will be looking for the next in the series.

Must Have

I am so happy I purchase this book. For under 10 .00 it is a deal. A very good love story with adventure in the mix as well. I don't want to give any spoilers but you will love it and no cliff hangers. You will be introduce to what will be told in the next book.

I will be getting more books in this series so hooked.

pretty good

This book is an erotic romance with paranormal.

It is a good book, but I just could not get into the characters.

Shay has a gift and a curse. Although her mother recently passed away her gifts have exploded and nothing is going to stop them from progressing. But when a kink in her plan to become a fighter is stopped by a spartan god, she rethinks what she was created to do.

Ajax is a spartan warrior, serving his king and gods. When finally one night he meets his forever love and will stop at nothing to protect her and kill those trying to take her from him.

Action-packed

Since the Norse mythology is new to me I felt this was a fresh and different urban fantasy. It had a lot of action and great characters. Emma Wilder did a great job with the voices. I'll be getting book 2 next.

I think I'm suppose to state that I won the audible copy of this book in a contest. I joined the contest because I loved the Jessica McClain books and have all the ones available at audible.

A good read.

I love this authors Jessica McClain series and on seeing she had a new one out, I just had to read it!!!

Phoebe is a normal girl, until the day she is struck by lightening. From that day on, she finds out that her neighbour and friend, is her aunt, she is being hunted by the fates, she is in fact a daughter of a Valkyrie and her father is a God!! Then to cap everything off, she is trapped in one of the nine worlds with Lokis son!! How can she escape an inescapable place, one where Fenrir was placed as his prison??

What an intense and fast paced read. This was chock full of action adventure, but best of all, Norse mythology!! I absolutely loved the authors take on Odin, Loki, Fenrir and the Valkyries. The Norse gods are sadly lacking in YA and Urban Fantasy books.

Phoebe was an awesome heroine. I loved the fact that she was so inclined to not believe what was happening to her and questioned everything, though I'm tired of the MC being super powerful or "the chosen one", it get's old!! Why can't they just be normal in an extraordinary world ;) Anyway, I really liked Phoebe. She was smart, sassy in a way and not afraid to do what was needed. I think it was her innocence that really made me feel for her.

Fen was definitely swoon worthy, though I hated that they had the "instant connection". That again get's old quickly!! I loved the authors take on him and why he was locked away!! Need to see more of him in the next book.

In all this was an awesome read. Plenty of action, incredibly fast paced and totally engaging, this is a must read. I can't wait for book 2 to see where this story goes.

Emma Wilder was good, not quite there yet, but I think with practice she will become great! She had a decent amount of tones and voices but she didn't preform the book as well as I hoped.

Narrator: Tristan Hunt

Length: 7 hrs and 38 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-27-16

Publisher: Cheri Schmidt

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 19 votes

Genres: Romance, Fantasy

Publisher's Summary:

A dying knight, the infamous Sir Maximilian, is saved by a curse. That curse makes him even more dangerous and he likes it. To him, a new life as a vampire is an appealing thing.

The man who turned him into this great, fearsome warrior tasks him to watch over and protect his mortal daughter, Nadia. But the beautiful Nadia puts Max's skills as a knight to the test, captures his heart, and bewitches him with eyes of emerald green. A power more potent than any magical curse.

Inspired by ballads of Robin Hood, Nadia is a bit too rebellious for her own good. And with a kind heart, she is much too trusting and forgiving for Max's peace of mind, because those attributes get her into a great deal of peril. Deadly creatures surround her - some of them are there to protect her and some want to lure her into a trap - and she has no idea.

But can a knight in shining armor heal a lady's heart when her love for the legend of Robin Hood is used against her?

Fun and fantastical

What did you love best about The Order of Curse-Bound Knights?

Fun escape from reality with a romantic read.

What did you like best about this story?

Getting to know their history.

What does Tristan Hunt bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

His voice, oh his voice!!!

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

It was all fun and enjoyable!

Any additional comments?

Another great job Cheri!

Swoon worthy and perfect ending to the series.

What made the experience of listening to The Order of Curse-Bound Knights the most enjoyable?

Having fallen in love with Max and Nadia in the previous books in the series, I couldn't wait to get my hands on this final installment. Well let me tell you, it did not disappoint. They say not to judge a book by it's cover, but in this case you can. The cover is one of the most gorgeous I have ever seen and it's a story to match! You will be riveted from beginning to end. One of my favorite parts of listening to this book was Tristan Hunt's singing. Words cannot express what a delight it was to listen to! He went above and beyond with his performance of this book, though it helps that he had such a great story to work with!

I love this book series

loved it I love this series it's amazing to listen and easy to get stuck listening too.

I loved it.

This was a bit confusing to me but only because it was a bit of a flashback to Max and Nadia's past. It might have made a little more sense to me if this had been the first book in the series instead. Even though it fast-forwards at the and matches up with things that happened in the earlier books it was still just really jarring listening to this one after the other three. I was constantly pulled out of the story because I had to stop and try to remember first what they were talking about and whether it was before or after what had happened in the earlier books. Still it was very enjoyable and Tristan Hunt did an amazing job narrating.
