Dark Taste of Rapture

By: Gena Showalter

Narrated by: Sebastian York

New York Times bestselling author Gena Showalter captivates with a dark, tantalizing world of humans, otherworlders, and a powerful AIR agent consumed by his desire for a woman he can never have.

Hector Dean is shaved, tattooed, and totally ripped—and he has a deadly secret. He is a walking weapon, capable of killing with a single brush of his fingertips. Little wonder he’s determined to remain on his own. But Noelle Tremain is a temptation like no other. She is beautiful and rich, with a party girl smile that hides a shocking vulnerability, and from the beginning his sizzling attraction to her is undeniable. For the first time, his stone-cold resistance is tested. But to be with her, he risks destroying her.

When a wealthy businessman is murdered in New Chicago’s seediest district, the two are partnered, and there’s no escaping what they both want: each other. Yet neither Hector nor Noelle knows what to fear more—the killer case, or their own lethal desires.

Amazing character development

I love how the characters have such depth and growth throughout the series. My only complaint is that it ended. I feel like I know the agents and I need more AIR stories!! This book is a must read!

Great Story, Not So Great Narrator

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

No

Any additional comments?

Gena Showalter is a wonderful storyteller and The Alien Huntress Series is one if my favorites. I fell in love with all the different characters so far but Ava and Noelle are in a class by themselves. Ava kept me laughing in the last book and Noelle picked up where she left off. Those two chicks kick major ass!!! As far as the storyline goes, I have no complaints with Hector and Noelle's book but I didn't enjoy the new narrator. I just hate it when there is one narrator for the entire series and then someone new comes in. Justine Eyre really brought life to the characters and in my opinion the change really took away from the book. Sebastian York wasn't bad but he didn't bring the same flare Justine did and the audio took away from the story instead of enhancing it.

Adore the narrator.

Since I hadn't read the other books in this series, it took a chapter or two to really get into the story. So very glad that I hung in there. Loved it.

Story FANTASTIC! Narration NOT GOOD!

This story did not disappoint at all! I loved how the story develops for Noelle and Hector - it has so much heart and feelings woven through the story, along with the vulnerability of the characters was the kick ass attitude of them both. However, this is book 6 and the past 5 stories were narrated by the fantastic Justine Eyre who developed all of the characters voices and they were so distinct it was very enjoyable to listen to each one of them. This book however, barely registered a change in voices and of course could not match the distinctive voices we have grown to love.

Dark Taste of Rapture

Narration fantastic. Hard to keep up with initially. Characters I interesting. Difficult read for me, still found enjoyment at the positive ending.
