Story
As reality's grand show concludes and alien watchers abandon and reset Earth, the world dissolves into primeval chaos. Monsters roam, magic surges, and the survivors battle to reclaim their world. Humans are forced to adapt… or become extinct. But humans aren't the only players in the game. Cunning mandrills now weaponize Earth's creatures, laying waste to the remnants of humanity. Warring dinosaurs, primordial monsters, and alien beasts complete this apocalyptic free-for-all, each hungry for their next kill.

Some books are not meant for audiobook format
Reviewed: 06-14-24
The litrpg genre is full of numbers. Numbers which are often tricky for the transition to audiobook.
This one has paragraph long descriptions regarding individual abilities. It is AGONIZING to read. You will have long. LONG segments where the narrator is just reading vague ability text and the entire time you’re thinking holy sh*t can this END?!?

Story
Something evil lurks in the woods, on the outskirts of town. It lives in the shadows and strikes without warning, always with the same objective: to mutilate, kill and devour its victim. A monster with a cannibalistic craving for human flesh and a sexual appetite which, seemingly, cannot be satiated. No victim is left alive, and the scattered remains divulge very little to the police pathologist.

A slog.
Reviewed: 07-03-23
The narrator is atrocious, a long and steady monotone. But thats okay, because even the best narrator couldn’t save this story.
Do you like horror? Well this story has a bit of it, lurking around specific points without doing much of anything.
Do you like mystery? Well this story has a mystery, one which it cares rather little about. Instead you get to enjoy the slapdash romance between two characters you barely care to remember.
For some idiotic reason, the closest this story gets to a protagonist is the monster. Because out of the 10 hour run time, perhaps 20-25% is devoted to this creature descriptions of it wandering about. Everything else reads like a series of strange romance vignettes, where characters have relationship drama that in no way comes into contact with the overall narrative.
This is my first severely bad review. This book deserved it.

Story
The West Texas desert towns of Inferno and Bordertown have been slowly dying. The Snake River isn’t the only thing that divides them. Racism and gang wars have turned the sun-scorched flatlands into a powder keg. If anything can unite them now, it’s the UFO that comes crashing through the clouds. It brings with it a young alien named Daufin, a fugitive who has taken human form. She knows the terror that awaits this planet—because it’s looking for her.

If you like sci-fi set in good ol nowhere texas, this is the story for you. The characters are predictable, but they grow on you, while the sci-fi is always there and always pretty good.

A story of a father looking for revenge, the story is nothing new. But the characters are delightful and inspire some fantastic emotions. Give it a read.

Story
Tech millionaire Miles Cookson has more money than he can ever spend and everything he could dream of - except time. He has recently been diagnosed with a terminal illness, and there is a 50 percent chance that it can be passed on to the next generation. For Miles, this means taking a long hard look at his past. Two decades ago, a young, struggling Miles was a sperm donor. Somewhere out there, he has kids - nine of them. And they might be about to inherit both the good and the bad from him - maybe his fortune, or maybe something much worse.

A fun mystery-thriller
Reviewed: 08-26-22
Not a whole lot to say honestly. This book is fun. The story is written well, the story is read well, and the mystery is decent.
This isn’t the book that will change your life and shift how you see the world. It’s good enough for five stars, but it doesn’t make me wish I could select six stars instead like some other books do.

To save humanity, they must fight.

An interesting addition to the aliens novels

I’m a huge fan of Sigler, and a huge fan of aliens. If you like either of those, buy this audiobook.
Bronze Age humans vs aliens, what’s not to love???
One of the three main characters has the worst voice though. Hands down worst part of the book. Aside from that, great story.

Story
Homicide detective Bryan Clauser is losing his mind. How else to explain the dreams he keeps having - dreams that mirror, with impossible accuracy, the gruesome serial murders taking place all over San Francisco? How else to explain the feelings these dreams provoke in him - not disgust, not horror, but excitement? As Bryan and his longtime partner, Lawrence 'Pookie' Chang, investigate the murders, they learn that things are even stranger than they at first seem.

Another win from Scott Sigler
Reviewed: 08-15-22
Sigler is a fantastic author, but he really shines in the audiobook department. All of his books are well produced to make the most of the audiobook structure. It’s not just deadpan reading from a book. Sound effects, transitions, etc.
Nocturnal is a delightful horror/supernatural story that feels a little slow at first but picks up steam like a locomotive until you’re tempted to finish the sucker in a single day!

A great story that loses some of its momentum at the end
Reviewed: 07-01-22
As far as zombie stories go, this is a great one. Particularly books one and two. Book four is by far the weakest entry in the series, feeling meandering and tired. Random raiders show up, a common trope of the zombie genre that just falls flat given how dangerous/powerful Melchiorri’s take on zombies are.
The narrator is great all the way through!

I don’t know where they found him, but Leland King was perfect for this story! His narration and character voice feels accurate, and he feels invested in the lines he delivers.
Jan Stryvant has a great writing style for this genre, if you like urban fantasy -or harem stories- this is a book series for you!
