About this listen

"Your true name is Red Rex. The baddest of badasses, an alpha warrior beyond compare..." Or, at least, that's what he's been told.

Eighteen-year-old Gaige Dupond has his life all mapped out. Lose his virginity to Emily. Get married. Become a pro soccer player and travel the world.

His father, a pure-bred Deltarc from another planet, whose race is growing extinct on planet Earth, has other plans - either confirm that he truly takes after his warrior father, and not his dearly departed empath mother, or snuff out his existence.

All plans go awry, however, when the dangerous red darkness in Gaige is awakened like a beam of hell flickering from his right eye, in a brutal ceremony. Pursued by a vicious Deltarc bounty hunter, Deltarc tracking hounds and his father's wicked minions, he loses his home, his life, all that he holds dear in pursuit of the truth.

In his quest to find his mother, victim to a corrupt cryopreservation project in outer space, and right the wrongs inflicted on him, he finds something far darker - his own sinister motivations and the need to feed on something other than human food. His only companion, a lab rat refugee named Sojourn, Gaige knows he'll never be loved - not in the way he'd always envisioned. Will he find the revenge he's seeking, or will he become an evil replica of his father? That's the last thing he'd ever wish on himself, but it may be his only option for survival.

This Story Delivers

I don’t usually read many books from this genre, but I really enjoyed this one. The narration brought the story to life and held my interest throughout. The story was well thought out, complete and will keep you listening. I will be watching for this author in the future.

sci fi erotic change

I don't really know what I just listened to which is why I'm saying it was pretty good - Gaige has a manipulative, well let's just call it what it is - evil father who does the most atrocious acts to his son. So Gaige is basically abused by his father and goons and Red Rex comes into existence. Gaige fights his inner Red Rex for awhile until he finally just gives up everything he holds dear to him and becomes Red Rex in full. Very erotic scenes throughout the read / listen and believe it or not there is a HEA. I will say that it was an absolute pleasure to listen to this narrator. S Johnson could read to me anytime!!! He not only made this character but helped to elevate this read in my opinion.

This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

Kudos Calinda

Would you consider the audio edition of Red Rex: Blood Echoes to be better than the print version?

Any additional comments?

Calinda B has crafted a very intricate, well described story. I had no problem visualizing the worlds she created.
Gaige is a normal boy attending high school, playing soccer and in love with his girlfriend Emily. He suddenly faces a very violent coming of age at the hands of his father. While he searches for his mother with the help of his teacher, an older woman and an escaped lab rat, he learns to use his new powers. As he finally accepts himself for who he is now, all of his other problems work themselves out.
I absolutely loved this story. Kudos Calinda.

Fantastic story!

I’ve really enjoyed this book. The intensity and mystery keeps the pages turning, but the angst he’s feeing makes you feel for him. I cannot wait to see more from Calinda. The narrator did a great job with the story and I hope to hear more of his work as well.

Not for me

I have read other books by this author and liked them. I saw this and thought I would give it a go.
I found the characters to be over the top especially Rex and it felt like I was in a boy's fantasy dream at times.
Unlike her other books I found I did not like red rex.
This has plenty of sex, profanity and violence.

Any additional comments?

I tried multiple times to finish this book. I just couldn't do it. This audiobook was given to me for free through Audio Blast for my unbiased review.
