Second Chances, Book 1

By: Letty Frame

Narrated by: Matt Haynes, Ash Kingsley

When you've lost literally everything but your own life, can you learn to be loved or will you give up fighting the negative voice in your head and finally lose yourself completely?

Nora Hart is twenty-four years old, but she's lost everything, rebuilt her life, fought through grief and worse, all while managing to avoid the shifter world that broke her in the first place. Despite her near death and struggle for survival all on her own, she's done quite well and has created a pretty normal life for herself. Despite all that, fate isn't done messing with her. Her heart and soul aren't ready to open up to new mates, and may never be, but fate has brought them into her life anyway, causing her to move across the country as she tries to deny her connections and keep some semblance of the life she's created. Not only that, but that little voice in her head begging for death is back stronger than ever, those from her past who broke her down are back for more, and now she's being hunted by humans out to rid the world of shifters. Will she be strong enough to get through all of this, to find herself again and have a happy life, or will her struggle finally come to an end?

Death is Easy is the first instalment in the Second Chances trilogy. This series is a medium-burn reverse harem romance, and there is a guaranteed HEA at the end of the third book.

Death is Easy

okay this book was good, but I do have to admit that the female lead was a bit annoying, I understand that she had a Tremendous and heartbreaking.
Incident, but for her to be Constantly and sabotaging her new relationship is freaking Irritating. she has so many ppl trying to help her but she just keeps pushing them away, and all they want is for her to be happy. but I do have to admit I am so looking forward to the next book because I think she finally got her head out of her bum.

SO good - need more!

A wolf shifter rejected, cast out of her pack, forced to oppress her wolf … yea, this is a fun read! Toss in some very interesting twists on the different types of shifters and their cultures and I was hooked pretty early in. Has lots of real world cross over, so it’s easily to relate, despite the magical and supernatural elements.

She's so freaking whiny

I paid my hard earned money for this book because the reviews made it seem way better than it is. Too much time is spent listening to the FMC whine about her wolf and lack of trauma, that she clearly has, before she's willing to do anything about it. I won't be finishing the book.

the male performer didn't give off the right tone

Maybe if I read the book instead of listening to it I would have liked it better but the male performer didn't set the tone very well for the scenarios. There were a lot of scenes the male performer would have a stoic or even angry sounding tone even though the writing would describe it as a comical or light hearted moment. The book itself was very heavy on what it's like to live with depression and suicidal thoughts. This might not be a good book for someone who is actively struggling with heavy mental health. At first I was getting a little annoyed with the FMC because she seemed so helpless all the time but as I continued I realized how much of the book was laying out the the mindset of someone living with depression for so long. I would have liked to see more of the the male characters background too. There's so little mention of the lives they had because they come into the story it's hard to connect with their characters.

Stuck

Rejected by her fated mate and thrown out of her Pack on her 18th birthday, Nora spent the next several months surviving and the next six years trying to build a life for herself. If she couldn't be happy, at least she could be useful, and make others' lives better. Then her billionaire boss noticed her on a visit to her branch office and his lion claimed her as his mate. Atticus Phoenix is the Alpha of one of the most powerful packs in the country. Not only does he claim her but his inner circle of tiger brothers, a bear, a fox shifter, and a griffin do as well. Nora has collected quite a family pack. If only it mattered. Nora lost her wolf after she was rejected, and when her former mate reappears, she finds herself destroyed once again.

I work at a Behavioral Health Center. Nora was written realistically, however realistic doesn't make it entertaining. Her depression was overwhelming, consuming, and repetitive. Her feelings of worthlessness and hopelessness make her a hard character to want to spend time with. I was hoping she could pull herself out of the hole with the help of her pack and therapy but it only got worse. I'm not saying the author needed to cure her mental state in 3 chapters but I think there could have been light spots sprinkled here and there to give me a reason to continue turning the pages. Because Nora is stuck, there is no plot development, no character development, and no relationship development. Because she is stuck, everything is stuck. It's mentally exhausting. I also think there are too many mates introduced in too short of a time frame making the connections suffer. Still, this is secondary to the lead female problem. I will give this series one more try to see if there is any forward movement.

Matt Haynes, Evan Henderson, and Ash Kingsley did an acceptable job narrating this story. It was a bit overdramatic, and the whining was annoying, but they had to work with the story they were given.
