I was surprised I hadn’t seen this sooner considering I’m a long longtime fan of Vampire Academy and the Ruby Circle.

This book is funny and surprisingly sexy. Also the narrator has a classically matured female voice that I found fitting for the main character.

I’m excited to listen to all of this series. Although I’m a bit concerned for the 4th book. It doesn’t have great reviews saying the story was left unfinished and rushed. I find endings to be most important to a good book. A lot of writers have lost this ability to solidify a good ending. I will still listen to the series though.

Every word ushered is forced bedroom voice. On both sides it’s unnatural, over dramatic, and slow. I’m a quarter into the book and after several hours I can’t stand to listen to it any more. Also, the male character has a bit of a nasally lisp

Reading
This author is an over writer. Too many unnecessary details slowing the reading. The female is a submissive wimp. The male is a macho man boss without any supporting evidence of this. We are just told he is bad ass and everyone follows him around.
Ew. Nothing says romance like a guy snorting drugs while the girl is sitting across from him. Snorting for focus/Super senses active. You lost me on chapter 15.

Nothing is happening just a lot of boring talk that can be skipped over.

I absolutely love Adrian and Sydney. The characters are so interesting and believable with their personalities and the sound of their voices.

I get that they put a planked voice actor in place of Adrian’s point of view. What I hate is that the female voice actor changed Adrian’s voice. It was perfect for the character in the first 3 books. This one and the last two were painful to listen to and ruined the character for me. I had to turn it off and read it.

Self inflicting abuse

Don't get me wrong! This book is well worth reading. It is very good after you get over the sickening depressive main female character who refuses to eat and is so self-consumed by herself you want to puke with her. For a strong character who fought so hard in the first book this version of Feyre is unbelievable and too pathetic to enjoy. The closed-minded first-person perspective makes this most difficult to get past.

As someone who actually lived through years of child abuse and has been surrounded by people who have self-abused themselves, this character is an author's romantic fantasy of what they imagine saving a sad fated person from abuse would be. It is hard for me to want to support this spoiled character.

The kind of sexy, badass adult novels I live to read. Also, Jim Frangione has a voice that is sex on the ears. No one human should sound that good.

I absolutely love J.R. Ward's work and I especially loved the Black Dagger Brotherhood Series. In a way I still do, but after the 11th book, this series doesn't go anywhere. Still, it is well worth reading. I've read nearly all of them up to then twice. There is a strong storyline with a plot that leads you from one book to the next as you drive deeper into the world getting closer and closer to battling with the Omega.

However, after years of following J.R Ward that story has fallen flat, becoming another dime a dozen, never advancing to the next big thing. I really hope she picks up the story again. The characters are all there! The world is set. Just please give us the rich depth of the epic story we all need and I know you can create!

Don't get me wrong! I absolutely love J.R. Ward's work and I especially loved the Black Dagger Brotherhood Series. In a way I still do. It's badass, funny at times, and downright sexy, but this series isn't going anywhere.

There was once a strong storyline with a plot that lead you from one book to the next as you drive deeper into the world getting closer and closer to battling with the Omega. Now however that story has fallen flat, becoming another dime a dozen, never advancing to the next big thing. I had high hopes that it would take off in the Black Dagger Legacy spin-off series but then it too abruptly cut off. The Black Dager: Prison Camp also starts out strong but then falls flat. I'm beginning to get bored and tired of being dragged along.
