I really enjoyed this listen! Great story - it was just a little technical for me. I was confused a lot of the time and plan to do a little homework and then listen again.

My only complaint about the narrator is that I absolutely loathe his female voices.. especially Katie. They sound nasally and silly. They just don’t match the personalities of the strong women in the story. I have felt the same way for each book but love the stories so much I just grit my teeth whenever I listen instead of read.

I do hope Jack Carr is not done with James Reece just yet!!

I am happy that several of the mysteries or questions from the first book were answered… A nice relief. I will be counting the minutes until the third book arrives! I like the narrator, and her pace with the book is great. My only criticism would be that she forgets her voicesoccasionally, and I have to go back and relist to understand who is speaking.

I could not stop listening from the beginning! Very well written, and kept me on the edge of my seat. I thought the narrator captured Violet’s voice perfectly. I am looking forward to the next book!

Such a great story and not a redo of past vampire stories. Truly unique and creative. Fabulous performances that make it real. Please come back for a 3rd season soon!

I want to believe there is a James Reese really out there protecting us. My only criticism is the narrator’s female voices… especially Katie’s. These female characters are strong and decisive but the voice makes them sound like silly girls. Wrong cadence and tone. All the male voices are great.

I have enjoyed this series. Originally started listening on recommendation of a news radio host. We as a country are not prepared for this type of attack. The grid should be hardened immediately! Write your representatives!

My only criticism of the book is that the main character is written to have repeatedly gotten lost in nostalgia. Remembering a time when… it got annoying. Otherwise I enjoyed it and will now not sleep at night!

Such a creative and satisfying new take on the fairytale! I could not stop listening. It was a bit slow and too much description at times. The narrator was absolutely amazing and made the story come to life!

I could not stop listening from the first moment. Loved the story and characters. I truly hope these are the people left after the world ends.

The characters, the history.. it’s truly genius the way the family stories moved forward through thousands of years and yet they stayed fluid and clear. I learned so much and enjoyed every minute!

My one small critique of the narrator is that he is awful at female voices. They were either childlike or high pitch whispers. Not good.

This one started out great. A lot of historical and political details. And then became a soap opera romance novel. Ugh... not my favorite.

Narrator was terrific but even he sounded bored by the end.
