Renegade Angels Trilogy, Book 2

By: Sylvia Day

Narrated by: Rachel Vivette

Length: 8 hrs and 59 mins

Publisher's summary

Elijah Reynolds is the most dominant of lycans, a rare alpha whose skill on the hunt is surpassed only by his primal sexuality. When the lycans revolt due to the iron fist of angelic rule, he steps into command, becoming both enemy and coveted ally in the conflict between vampires and angels.

Vashti is the second most powerful vampire in the world, a lethal beauty who has left a path of devastation in her wake. Tasked with proposing an alliance between vampires and the lycans who killed her mate, Vash approaches Elijah, whose need to avenge a friend demands Vash’s death even as his passion demands her surrender.

Soon their enmity erodes beneath an all-consuming desire. Elijah has never encountered a woman whose warrior spirit and fierce sexual appetite rival his own, while Vash is faced with the one man strong enough to be her equal. But as war looms, they must decide where their loyalties lie - with their own kind or with the enemy lover they can no longer live without.

Not as good as Book 1

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

I would recommend it to friend only so you can keep up for the next series.

What does Rachel Vivette bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Excitement

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

Yes I would see it

Any additional comments?

I think the war between the sentinel, the vamps, the likings etc was too confusing. It was was hard to tell who was on who's side after a while. I think this is what made me not like it as much. I love book 1. Looking forward to book 3.

Liked the Story, Not the Narrator

Would you listen to A Hunger So Wild again? Why?

Not particularly. I liked the story, not so the narrator. First, I really preferred the narrator from the first book, and this was a negative change. I don't think Rachel Vivette differentiated the characters enough, or gave them their own voice. In particular, Vashti is a vary strong female, and this narrator made her sound whiney weaker than I think she was.

What did you like best about this story?

I liked Vashti and the strong woman who could hold her own.

Would you be willing to try another one of Rachel Vivette’s performances?

On the fence here, I might try another but only if there were positive ratings.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I enjoyed the story. While this is certainly no epic saga, I did enjoy it and I am waiting for the third.

Love this series

I love this series wish sylvia day would write the next book in the series. powerful characters.

Voice Matters

Loved the story but did not like the voice on Elijah and Adrian...get Luke Daniels back.

It’s a damn shame that this series has been stalled!

Wow, had I researched this series more, before starting it, I never would have. The first two books are so good. They are filled with action, sensuality and mystery. There is a Huge conspiracy that is being slowly uncovered and at the height of the climax, the series is shelved. Sylvia Day has a notice, on her website, stating that the series is on hold due to discontinuation of her contract with the publisher of the first two books. Her new publisher wants her to work on books for which she is contracted with them, therefore, until she has some spare time, this series is left hanging. I flipping hate this. I hate that money and contracts have squashed the creativity of this literary artist. It has already been six years, so I have my doubt that this series will ever be finished and this awesome story will forever, remain unfinished; it really is a damn shame. I can’t say I haven’t enjoyed the first two books, I have, but the fact that my suspicions will likely never be confirmed or denied, is a real bummer.
Therefore, if you are driven mad by unfinished business, Like I am, you may not want to even start this series. However, if you are capable of enjoying the content of a couple of books, knowing that you’ll never know the end of the story, you won’t want to miss this partial ride.

Definitely a book to read!

I didn't think I would like this book as much as the 1st book but I must say I liked the 2nd book better! Loved the back and forth banter between Elijah and Vashti that were hi.lar.i.ous!! Adrian and Lindsay also have their POV's in her in which ties everything together..... to a point because although they've figured out who the bad guys are it leaves on a cliffhanger to the next book. And may I say some hot scenes that take your breath away!! Oh my oh my! Narrator did a pretty good job too.

LOVING THIS SERIES!

I listened to this one before the first entry in the series, and didn't get all of the back story--you don't absolutely need it but, knowing what happens before to bring Vashti (lead female) and Elijah (lead male) together is helpful but not necessary. The narrator kind of threw me for a loop when the book began but I grew accustomed to her voice and ultimately liked her strange voice characterizations, it was little overacted but, I've heard much worse. All that said, this book was totally steamy, a great love story! Not to mention it was like the rawest animalistic sex I'd heard from Sylvia Day so far--and I loved every minute of it! ;-) Elijah is an awesome alpha and i loved how he was drawn to Vashti and her to him. There are a lot of moving parts to this series, especially after listening to the first book (A touch of Crimson) and realizing that at the end of A Hunger So Wild, that things are just getting started. There's much more to be seen from this series and I can't wait for book 3!

flat narrartor

the book itself is amazing, great spin to the Fallen/vampire! however it was so hard to follow due to the flat narrator of this audio book. I couldn't tell when she was in monologue or internal monologue. there was hardly any expression at all. I honestly would get more expression from my text to speech. honestly but the book and read it!

Love the series!

Didn't like the narrator that much don't know why the change from Luke Daniels. But enjoyed the story.

Much better than book 1 in series

What made the experience of listening to A Hunger So Wild the most enjoyable?

The characters were much easier to understand than in the first book. Also the Passion between Elijah and Vashti was so intense you couldn't cut it with a chain saw.

What does Rachel Vivette bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I liked Luke Daniels in the first book and he would have don a great job on book two, but Rachel Vivette, was ok. Sometimes she forgot when she was doing a mans voice and didn't change the tone. making the performance jumpy

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

When Vashti thinks Elijah is leaving her, she has so much trouble dealing with emotions that she's held down for over 60 years.

Any additional comments?

I enjoyed the story of book two in this series better, however I thought the narrator in book one was better. I hope book three will be better story with the first narrator.
