Population, Book 1

By: Elizabeth Stephens

Narrated by: Diana Richardson

Length: 20 hrs and 19 mins

Publisher's summary

She thinks she can steal from me, the little human. Adorable.

I can't decide what will be more fun—the hunt or what I will do to her when I catch her. And I will catch her. There is nowhere she can run.

Abel was of perfectly sound body and mind when she looted the Other's corpse. He looked dead. Wait. Did he just smirk up at her? No. Definitely not...

Hiding out in an abandoned townhouse, Abel doesn't expect to hear that same bloodsucking alien come knocking on her door or that, when trouble finds them, he might stand at her back rather than stab her through it.

When he offers to help her cross the ruined world of Population, Abel knows better than to believe him. Because when he looks at her, it's with a hunger that seems to go beyond the taste of her blood, and when he asks for payment, he requires the one thing she can't give up—her trust.

Run all you like, little human. The sword you carry won't be enough to stop me from coming for you. You're mine. Blood. Body. Heart.

Dark and action-packed, Lord of Population is a steamy, end-of-days romance ripe with unexpected twists and epic battles, perfect for fans of JR Ward or Laura Thalassa. It ends with an HEA (no cliffhanger) and features a rebellious human heroine of color and an inhuman hero with fangs. This is a dark romance with medium-high heat levels for mature listeners.

Couldn't finish

I couldn't get past the period blood eating semi-rape scene. I enjoy vampire romance but draw the line there.

Awesome story

LOVED this story. I started this and was determined to keep listening and reading. Abel and Kane had so much chemistry and it really made this story sing. This was a little darker than I was expecting but the tone fit well considering it was dystopian in nature. I’ll for sure keep reading this series. I think the voice actor did an amazing job considering she did it all herself. The male voice at first caught me off guard but once I got over the initial shock I enjoyed all of the different voices.

Just as good the second time around!

Loved this book. I read it on KU when it was released and once I heard it was coming to audible I had to pre-order. I enjoyed it just as much the second time around.
5 stars, great plot, lovable characters, epic ending, the spice was spicing. What more do you want?

amazing

one of the best books I've listened to do far! I which there was more

Loved every minute of this !!

Just wow !! I absolutely loved every moment of this story excited to start book 2! Very well written and made me fall in love with the characters!! Brilliant!

Shook

This author, this story and this narration was chefs kiss. Top tier. 10/10. Absolutely recommend. Smash.

I am not typically a dark romance girlie but Elizabeth brings so much to dark romance that other authors don’t. And the voice actor and her was chosen for this recording was perfection. It felt like there were multiple actors. Cannot wait to listen to the rest of the series!

Interesting Story

This book is different than others I have read. I love Kane and Abel’s interactions. The book was a bit too long. As a human, Abel must have went through serious mutations to no longer be human.

HOOKED❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️

This was the first book I read by Elizabeth Stephens “Lord of Population “ So far all three books in series are excellent. I was Thrilled when “Lord of Population was released in the audio version. Now anxiously waiting for the complete series. The audio book brought it to life.
This is not your typical alien romance. Great world building in this phenomenal dystopian dark romance and this is just the beginning. Abel’s “Rules for the World After’ were tough for her to follow. Kane helped her. Excellent narration❤️

Chefs kiss 😘👌🏻

I read the book so going in I already knew I loved the story. The audio just took it to the next level. I was definitely a smitten kitten. If you’re a fan of alien/Scfi rom this is a recommend listen. Even if you’re not and are looking to dip a toe, this is a great start. I would consider this a dark rom. If you’re looking for something more lightheaded & cheeky then definitely check the authors warnings before listening. Can’t wait to enjoy the rest of the series on audio. Happy listening 💙

great story

so detailed so Beatiful. no spoilers but this is written very well. kept me entertained the entire way. this is hard to do as most books like this have stunted plotlines and cheezy lazy writing. although there were spots of eye rolls, it was very limited. It was also needed to advance the narrative. highly suggest you spend that credit. It is well worth it.
