What a great story to fall for!

I was so excited when Brenda Tetreault decided to write another series! And this book DOES NOT disappoint! I was skeptical about my beloved new series being an audiobook (I get names wrong and sulk) but it brought the book to life and was perfect for listening while I commute! I can’t wait to hear the others!

A different kind of paranormal

This story was unlike any I had heard before. The director put a new spin on the paranormal that I really enjoyed. The characters were well developed and I fell in love with Gaela and Cain. It was an emotional roller coaster, one that the narrator pulled off extremely well. I love audio's we're the story can be told and I'm not distracted by the voice but drawn into the experience because of the voice. I would definitely recommend this audio and can't wait to get my hands on the next one.

Beloved

Not only do you get to read how Gaela and Cain end up, you get to know more about the other characters. I wanted to keep reading to see what happens but then not wanting the book to end.

Could have been better....

I must preface this review by saying this was the first book in the series I listened to and it was book 3.

I believe the book probably would have been better if I read 1 and 2 first. The third was a hard to get into because of the jumping around to different characters that I didn't know. But, even with this, it was a decent book. It took me a while to like the lead male character. (spoiler alert) He was so upset with her after he found her again. He had thought he had killed her in a previous book, but he was upset because she was hiding? And she felt bad she hadn't tried to reach out to him? A little unbelievable for me.

The narration could have been better too. A bit too monotone and her accents were horrible.

Love scenes don't need to be read at speed.

Love the books, love the narrator but slow down on the love scenes. Hot and heavy doesn't mean narrate at the speed of light.

Keep writing!

Loved the story of this couple! And the racy love scenes are hot, hot, hot!!!

Excellent!

My favorite of this series (so far) well voiced, an all around excellent audiobook! 5 stars across the board!

Highly recommend - worth the credit!!

This was my first book by Brenda Tetreault and I really enjoyed it very much!

This was also my first ever listen to paranormal romance and I would definitely read and listen to more!

The narration was perfect for the story! Sonja Field did an amazing job!

Loved!

I received an audiobook copy of this book for an honest review. While this was the first story in the series I've read, I loved it! It was engaging throughout the majority (I did get a little confused with all the characters being introduced at the beginning). I'm definitely interested in reading books 1 and 2 as well as the next in the series.

The narrator did a great job although she was a really fast talker. I tried slowing it down to .75 (normal is set at 1), but then she came across as too slow. So, the majority of the story was told as though she were in a race to finish as quickly as possible, while there were a few occasions where she spoke at a normal pace. Either way, she did a great job with the variety of character voices and was able to make each one stand out.

I would recommend this book (maybe the series after I read the first two books) to others.

Love this!

I would strongly recommend that you read/listen to the previous books before this one to have a better understanding of what is going on. I did not and was able to follow along fine but feel like it would have enhanced my experience if I had. The story is wonderful and kept me wanting more with each passing chapter and the only complaint I would have is the transition switching point of views so abruptly. Other than that I cannot wait for the next book!
