A must for fans of the series

Great, funny stories that fans of the series will love. Narrator has some minor issues (long pauses, etc.) at the beginning, and gets smoother the further you get into the book. Variety of voices were good, except it would have been nice if Seb and Calvin’s voices were more distinct from each other. Narrator shines when Seb is excited or upset.

The story is great but the narrator’s vocal choices ruined it for me... especially the voice he picked for the character of Randy, who sounded more like a villain than a lovable rogue.

If you like reading about court politics and finding love, this is a great book for you. Audio was well done as well. My only quibble is that the dragons were a much smaller part of the story than you’d think. The are integral to the story but don’t actually show up much.

The story made me laugh out loud multiple times, and made my heart ache too. Narrator does a fantastic job with all the different voices and accents.

I was a little thrown off by the accents of the people in Amsterdam (definitely not Dutch-sounding), but otherwise it’s easy to tell different characters apart. Book is great and I want the rest of the series!

I heard a lot of recommendations for this book, which is why I gave it a chance. It took a long time for me to get into the story. The author kept using the main character, Patrick’s, first name over and over and over again, even if he was the only person in the scene. It was driving me crazy. I almost DNF’d this book, but the middle finally caught my attention. But then the ending went on and on, long after the climax of the book. At least 2-3 chapters too long. I started wondering if it was ever going to end. Honestly, am probably not going to try the next one.

Dark love stories of monsters and men. The last story, Creature, was the best of the three and is worth grabbing this book for that one alone.

The narrator is very good at making very different voices. You’ll never get confused as to who is speaking.

Wasn’t bad, although there was at least one episode that could have been cut. And I thought the ending would have wrapped up a bit better. I also laughed at the warning they gave that the French accents were strong, as some of the Irish accents were harder to follow. (And I’m fairly used to hearing Irish accents.)

The story is like a mix of a Harlequin and a mpreg book. A perfect bit of sweetness in these trying times. Voice performance was excellent.
