Not Bad....Not Bad At All! :-)

After listening to the first book in this series I was skeptical about moving on to the second book, but this story did not disappointment. (It was much better than book one :-)!

The world Evangeline has created is unique with interesting concepts and the character development was great. There are several different POV’s and I really enjoyed learning about the different characters; even the bad ones. The plot is well written and will transition smoothly into the next book where we will learn more about the existing characters as well as new ones.

Overall, I was very pleased with the story and have actually recommended this series to several of my friends. So far, they’ve all said positive things about this series.

**Recommended for those who like Sci-fi Romances with a little erotica thrown in to spice it up!

Brides of the Kindred, Book 2

Loved it!
Like how the Kindred go into rage/revenge for any past transgression a human male did their future bride.
Narration was good but still prefer a male to do their own voice not a women.

guilty pleasure

This book was just what I needed. A sexy suspension of reality with large dirty talking aliens. My last few books left me unsatisfied so I decided to go in a different direction and wasn't disappointed. Sure there were some shake my head moments, like when Olivia left the room knowing she was told to stay put for her safety. The fact that he explained that he hasn't been scent marking her as he should and it would be dangerous for her to go out in public alone made her decision even that more stupid. whatevs.....

story - 2.75
narrator 2 her voices could have been better

I think this series will be my guilty pleasure and I'll fill in a book between other things so i don't finish it so quickly...lol.

Great narration

The narrator was the absolute best for this book! She captured the characters perfectly, each voice was distinct, each character rang true! This was a typical but very enjoyable alien love story with steamy bits! Alien abduction, post traumatic stress, Vulcan mind melding, astral travel, concept of folding space to go great distances or light years away, D/S play, multiple partner sex, and vampiric biting all in one story. And a series no less! Try this one, you wont be disappointed.

I was wishing for more

This is the second book in the series, it is the story of Sophie and Sylvan, we saw the threads of this beginning in the previous book. I wanted to love this, but it fell flat in so many places. A major issue for me was the length of the book, it could have been cut in half if you edited down the repetitive bits. Too many scenes felt just like others in the book.

I really liked the progression of the plot with the AllFather and the Scourge, unfortunately, other parts of the book were drawn out so far my mind started to wander. I get it, Sophie has major issues from her past and is unwilling to even try with Sylvan. I get having fears, but he had to prove himself way too much. He was a touch stilted in his narratives, but you get used to it after a time.

This is a spicy read, although most of the story for the leads is just foreplay. It has to do with the whole Mating Bond, I find that is a pattern for this series, saving the sex for the end. There is plenty of steam in the beginning, we get an extra naughty wedding night for Baird and Olivia. I knew he had that Dom thing in him!

The audiobook was once again narrated by Anne Johnstonbrown, who I thoroughly enjoyed! She has a great smooth tone and swift pace that helped move the story at slower moments. I enjoy her energy throughout the read. She has a terrific balance in the male and female voices. Definitely hope she stays with the series.

The narrative is mixed between the two leads and then supporting characters as well. It was great for understanding the motivations and endless issues. While I could see one of the past events as a roadblock for the couple, the medical one was annoying. I just wanted to shake some sense into her, because he was just so terrific. The scenes with Kat and the twins were interesting and made me salivate for their story. I enjoy these books, however, I find myself preferring the storyline and wishing for less steam. I know, it was a surprise for me too. All the back and forth repetition distracted from things in my opinion.

I am still eager for the next book in the series. I enjoy the plotlines, they are very intriguing! BTW, beware tears at the end! You see it coming a mile away, still it pulls those heart stings! Oh the feels.

Right in the feels.

Ok you made it this far. You got through claimed and probably like me though that there is definitely something going on between these two, some type of spark that neither want to accept because boy are they dealing with some past woes.

This is where it all starts to build though. Claimed was just the tip. But Hunted? This is where you start to get some nice satisfying strokes. The universe begins to expand and you get a greater appreciation for just how much thought went into this expansive universe and as always you start to see the set up for the next book.

I will warn though, while claimed dealt with some baggage from previous relationships this is where things get real. There’s actual hurt and if you’re like me you’re gonna have that moment where you want to beat the hell out of a fictional character. But at the same time it makes the growth more satisfying. You understand their reluctance and fear even if you want them together you fault them. But as they grow and overcome that fear it makes the relationship between them so much stronger than in Claimed. It’s worth a read and this book is the reason I’m still reading. It’s cheese but cheese is good.

Good book!

The only thing that brothers me is the fact that Sophia was so friggin annoying. Kat and Olivia were also annoying at time with their judgemental attitudes.
I want to learn more about the Old Father's son, his mother and I am hoping he won't become as his father. I cried when he had to activate the pill in order to safe his pet.
If it wasn't because of the nagging and annoying voice for the female's this series would be flawless.
Don't get me wrong, it's a good book as I said before, is just the women that are somewhat annoying at times.
