King Cobra

Naga Brides, Book 2

By: Naomi Lucas

Narrated by: John Masterson, Elizabeth Hart

Daisy. Daisy. Daisy. From the moment her name is spoken, it is all I can hear. Her frightened tears bring me anger; I vow to wipe them off her face and banish her fear...to make her my queen.

But I have to catch her first. I have to convince her to trust me. I have to show her she is safe. But only with me. Because if any other naga male tries to take Daisy away from me, I will kill them.

And if she runs? She’ll find out there’s no escape. I’ve paid the price to mate her, and she needs to know a gilded nest is better than freedom in my world.

King Cobra is the second book in Naga Brides, a series about bride-hunting aliens with the charm of a snake, the wiles of the devil, and the will to do anything for their females.

Better than the first book

This book is so much better than the first one where consent was questionable most of the time. That being said, this is still Alpha male type erotica at its core so just know that going in. There is consent but there is still some slight Dom/Sub type interactions that some people may not be comfortable with in their alien abduction stories.

In general, this book can be listened to separate from book 1. However there isn't the same level of world building or explaining so listeners might be lost at times without the context of past Earth events and present day humans that is layed out in the first book.

I enjoyed the story and will be continuing with the series as long as consent stays within the stories.

Good

I like this series and loved the narration I like both the male and female take on how the characters should sound. I think that both rocked the male character and she was better with the female character. I’m off to start the next book

Much better than Book 1

Besides offering a difference in storylines like other books in the genre, this book was interesting and entertaining. This book fully held my attention unlike the first book. Ending enabled adding a book 3. Hopefully book 3 will serve up similar ingredients. Narrators did a good job with characters.

King Cobra

A enjoyable story with intriguing characters. I loved the story and characters. Worth the read.

King Cobra is the best

Wasn’t a fan of the pit viper story (Book 1) but absolutely loved the second book! King Cobra is sweet, endearing and patient with his mate. I have re-listened to it already. Recommend :)

I LOVED THIS!!!

Zaku was a wonderful King Cobra, my heart aches every time when he felt pain and sadness within himself. Daisy! the most delicate flower Zaku has ever claimed. 🥰🥰🥰

OMG LOVED!!!!!

I am bingeing these! This is better than book 1 and omg he is soooo sweet to Daisy I melted lol I like Daisy better than Gemma but can’t wait to continue! ❤️

World building

This book sold me into getting the other books a try I love how it builds the world and it gives you more and more lore. Give it a chance if you’re into alien romance adventure.

The heroine: Daisy - she came to Earth to find lurker technology because it is the only thing that may help humans defeat the alien threat against them in space. Lurkers were a reptilian species that were on Earth hundreds of years ago until they revolted and started killing humans. The humans that didn’t escape in spaceships ended up dying in the devastation that followed and Earth was covered in radiation following the war with the Lurkers. Lurkers are now gone and the radiation isn’t a problem anymore, so those that came with Daisy on the ship are searching for technology.

The Hero: Zaku - He is King Cobra, part human, part cobra, he is the King and largest of the Naga species. He is the one that bartered with the humans that landed on Earth to exchange Lurker tech for two of the human females. Since the Naga females left years ago when they started dying in childbirth. Humans are compatible with the Naga and won’t die like the Naga females.

The Story: Daisy is one of the two females traded for technology by Peter, the leader of the expedition to Earth, though both her and Gemma find out later that Peter was only given spare parts and broken tech, not exactly what they were looking for. She and Gemma run and are chased by the Naga. She is eventually caught by Zaku and taken to his nest.

This book is quite different than the first book, though the characters did crossover in the first book so we got to see a bit of the events of this book in that story. In Viper we saw Gemma in Vruksha’s home which is in a cave system. The bed was made of furs, and though he had some technology, his home was still somewhat primitive.

Zaku lives quite differently. He lives in a mansion on a mountain, one side of his home is all made of shatterproof glass and his immaculate home is kept clean by robots and filled with technology, extravagance and human things like clothes for Daisy and even gems and jewelry. Her experience is quite different than Gemma’s.

This book was told in dual points of view via dual narration. John Masterson and Elizabeth Hart are the narrators and are the same two that did Viper. John Masterson speaks with a bit of a stilted voice which is common for the narration of alien males. He also does a bit of a hiss at times which works well for Zaku. Elizabeth has a clear voice which matched Daisy and she was able to convey Daisy’s angst perfectly.

The story is good and original. I love the house that Zaku has and I want some of those robots that come out of the walls to cook, clean and fix things.
