Best Yet
I've been reading this series in order (and it helps, I'm sure). This book was the best of the lot so far. The author creates a fantastic hero for this book. Aiden is tortured and a bit clueless and entirely male. The tension between hero and heroine hit that perfect note and I really bought the attraction.
The reader, Lola Holiday, had a pleasant voice and I could find little fault with her work. Yes, I admit I've heard better, but I've also heard far worse. I barely noticed she was there, to be honest, and for me, that's the sign of a good narrator.
Glad I Took A Chance!!!
I read the other review for this book but decided to give the author a chance. Having read a few others by Rhyannon Byrd in paperback and listening to Edge of Hunger I thought why not? The narrator was not the best but the story was interesting...a lot of action. And of course, the classic tortured hero who spends most of the book trying to push the woman away! But isn't that what we love about romance novels? As far as the characters go... Aidan is hotter than hot! Olivia is a well...a kindegarden teacher...lol. The little girl is cute... Can't wait for Noah to get his own story, he's complicated. And the new twist on the war between the Watchmen and the Casus (the "Deathwalkers") adds a real freshness to a fairly predictable read. All in all I was not disappointed and will definitely continue reading the books in this series while waiting for the next Midnight Breed novel...lol.
The Narrator Can Make or Break!
I believe that this story could possibly be a decent story. However, the narrator has completely destroyed the story. I could not listen to it all the way to the end.
Note to all narrators and authors who decide to have their book published in audio format: the voice of your lead characters is vital. You must have a great voice for your lead character. Your lead characters are what sells the audience. Your lead character can not have the most annoying voice of all the characters!
The anticipation in this story is torture.
Is there anything you would change about this book?
No.
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
I think the storyline with Jamie could be interesting if further developed. Least interesting.....in the beginning human gets taken by hunky shapeshifter and in the end fall in love....I've listened to many and this one is not much different.
Which character as performed by Lola Holiday was your favorite?
I guess Aiden.
