I liked it but...

It was so disjointed. I think the author had a good idea with this book. The time line, love story, town, danger, her past, ex... i wanted them to work together... it just didn't.

ERICK IS A HOT VAMPIRE !

I liked this one a lot. It was sweet, hot, and had some cool fantasy stuff also.
This Author is a great storyteller ! Thank you. !! 🔥🌹

This series has potential

My Viking Vampire Book 1 of the Sanctuary, Texas series.
I really wanted to love this book. It has a great plot. I enjoyed the premise of this book, I felt like if given more details it could’ve really gone somewhere great. A lot of characters are introduced in this 1st book that I want to read more about however The actual writing style of the author bothered me some. The main characters rushed into their relationship in less than 24 hours which is completely unbelievable. I know this is a paranormal fantasy however some real life perimeter still need to be set. I also wish that the author had taken more time to discuss what led to the “Others” being discovered and the history of what happened to the USA to bring it to the point it is now. I am intrigued enough to give the next book a chance and I’m hoping it gets better.

I did like the narrator for this book she did a good job of differentiating her characters.

Great!

You will love this one. This is a hot one to listen to. I love this one!

Intriguing & Emotional

I enjoyed this book. The story is an engaging blend of heartbreak, terror, hope, healing, steam and romance. Bailey's history and present are truly tragic and my heart bled for her. Erick was a great book boyfriend. I loved how he wanted Bailey to have what she wanted regardless of what he or others might want. She absolutely deserved having someone 100% in her corner and there was never any doubt in my mind that this was the case. I loved the connection between these two and the epic amounts of steam they generated. As for the story, there is a lot covered here. Aside from the romance, you are introduced into a dystopian world, a vast cast of characters, some background lore and the overarching good vs. evil plot is established so that it can play out over the series. There is also a strong BDSM element laid out here, although it is not delved too deeply into due to the heroine's, however I do anticipate that changing in future entries in this series. Overall, I really liked it and am eager to read more of this series. The book does feature dual narration which is something I prefer and while I thought that both did a very good job, I did find that in this case dual narration ended up being a bit jarring. Almost all of the book is performed by the female narrator up until the very last chapter which the male narrator performs. To be honest, by the time the change came I found it kind of threw me and kind of broke me out of the flow I was enjoying. This could easily just be a me problem because it takes me a while to warm up and accept the narrator's voices over my own that I hear when I'm reading. Still, in spite of this pet peeve I greatly appreciate the fact that the author chose to do dual narration and the excellent job that the narrators did in bringing this book to life.
