    "YES, YES, YES get this one"

    Oh you have to be a grown up to listen to this series it is sooo smart. If you are 21 or 71 this is a good choice. Grown ups because the emotions in this will make you wish, make you dream that 1 & 1 equal 2. Pay attention this could become a long running series and you will want to be there.

    There is forbidden love going on but its so honest that you don't know which way to go. You know it's good when your not exactly sure if it's okay to cheer for the bad guys in a book. Here comes the grown up part "who are the bad guys"?

    I have this and book 2 and have really enjoyed them they are so hot and spicy. Our narrator can deliver such a sense of control and heat at the same time. Good going Sylvia Day keep us coming back with these stories.

    Story
    "Angels, Vampires, and Lycans oh my!"
    Where does A Touch of Crimson rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

    It's in the top ten. Most of my top ten are wriitten by Sherrilyn Kenyon (Dark Hunter series or CoN series read by Holter Graham) or Jonathan Maberry (Joe Ledger series read by Ray Porter), but this one's in there! It's an interesting twist on the fallen angel concepts and the origin of vampires and Lycans.


    What other book might you compare A Touch of Crimson to and why?

    In terms of originality, I'd compare it to Born of Shadows or Time Untime by Sherrilyn Kenyon. In terms of utilizing mythology, it compares to the Iron Druid Chronicles by Kevin Hearne. I love all those series and they're all interesting and original in their own right. This one is completely original from all the other books I read or listened to. That's a rarity with romance or science fiction.


    Have you listened to any of Luke Daniels’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

    i have listened to Luke Daniels. Even though he's always going to be Atticus O'Sullivan to me, he's really stretching his talents by doing this one. He's done well differentiating characters from the narrator voice of the story. It's awesome to hear him develop his talent.


    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

    Yes


    Any additional comments?

    I wish they had Mr. Daniels narrate the other book. I only get the ones read by men, and even then, I only listen to a select few. Mr. Daniels is one of the few. The next book is read by a women, so I'll be buying it, but if you don't have those hang ups, I would definately get the next book.

    Story
    "Yes, More Please!"
    What made the experience of listening to A Touch of Crimson the most enjoyable?

    I became a fan by listening to the Crossfire series from Sylvia Day. That author is amazing! She makes very good descriptions of the characters and their sex scenes. Very steamy book if you like that kind of stuff. She never disappoints when it comes to that subject.


    What did you like best about this story?

    The story is different from any other fantasy/romance book I've listened to so far. I'm use to listening different books about vampires but renegade angels puts a different twist to the story WITH vampires...how they're made, survive, etc. They give you a good definition of each kind of character in the first chapter which helps throughout the book. At first I thought it was boring to hear the definitions but it begins to makes more sense if you listen further.


    What about Luke Daniels’s performance did you like?

    Luke Daniel's performance has kind of a harsh voice as in too serious of a narrator. I get that the story is intense at times but it's kind of like listening to a news broadcaster who's relaying a breaking news story. The female characters he portrays needs a little work. Because of the narrator's low tone, the female characters lack personality.


    Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

    The moment when Adrian chooses to fall. I think I gave away too much...but that's the moment the book moved me.


    Any additional comments?

    Give the book a chance. The first few chapters are kind of boring but it gets better towards the middle and end. The series leaves you wanting more and I can't wait for the rest of the series to come out. It's worth the purchase but not the credit. You get your money's worth if you just buy it.

    What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

    Nothing! This story was terrible. I could not get past the sex which was most of the story. Don't get me wrong, I like a good steamy read,but throwing in as much sex as you can think up does not make a good book.The writing was childish and boring.The only thing I liked was the cover.I love blue and red togeather


    Has A Touch of Crimson turned you off from other books in this genre?

    No! There are many good writers in this genre.


    What didn’t you like about Luke Daniels’s performance?

    What he was reading.


    If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from A Touch of Crimson?

    All the sex scenes.


    Any additional comments?

    This could possibly have been a good story, all the elements seem to be there.

    Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

    Not so much after reading other Sylvia Day books, however there was a lot of passion and forbidden sexual encounters.


    If you’ve listened to books by Sylvia Day before, how does this one compare?

    Not as put together as her other books, took me a while to follow characters, and what they were doing and their standing in the story.


    What about Luke Daniels’s performance did you like?

    Luke Daniels performance made this story. I would only have given it 2 stars if it were not for his great narration, which made it easier to understand the who's who.


    Any additional comments?

    I just finished book 2 in this series. Has a different narrator, but the story is much better and easier to follow. I'm hoping book three will just get even better.
