A Monster's Treasure

Kadrixan Mates, Book 1

De: Lynnea Lee

Narrado por: Wen Ross, Kai Kennicott

Clara
Unfairly convicted of a crime, I’m sent to serve the Kadrixan males for their rutting season.

The Kadrixans. Even their name inspires terror. Fiery-skinned and devil-like, they stand head and shoulders taller than any human man. Our colony made a terrible bargain with these monsters. The Kadrixans give us precious ore in exchange for the one thing they need.

Women. Like me.

When we meet our Kadrixan captors, I come face to face with a massive, brawny beast who claims I belong to him.
And not just for the rutting season. He wants me forever.

Krxare
I never expected to claim a human mate, but one look at the curvy female and I know she’s mine.

Hunger claws at my mind and that of every other warrior in my regiment. All of us are on the brink of the rut which makes us more belligerent with each passing day. Without females, we’ll tear each other apart with rage.

We depend upon our bargain. Human females for Kadrixan ore.

The females arrive and there is one who stirs my primitive desire: Clara. She thinks I’m a monster; I see it in her eyes and scent it in her fear. She vows to return to her people after the rut is over, but I vow to claim my mate, to woo her and prove she’s mine.

New series to love

I loved this book beginning to end. Wish it had a physical book for sale so I could proudly display this book trophy on my bookshelves. Can’t wait to dive into the rest of the series.

Exciting adventure

A corrupt “government” of a colony from Earth has many humans in poverty, while in the inner circle of the city the very wealthy live.
Clara, due to her circumstances, has to make a decision: go to Utopia or go to the “Kadrixan Monsters” during their rut. Overhearing the guards she learns the guards get paid well bringing humans to Utopia. Being angry because all kind of unfair things happening to her, plus being suspicious about Utopia, Cara chooses the Rut.
Needless to say to say, the Kadrixan warriors are not at all how they are pictured by the government. She meets Krxare as soon as she and other females are delivered. They get to know each other quite well.
When it looks like Clara and Krxare are getting their HEA, more adventures cross their path.

I very much liked the story, I also am very curious about this Utopia and I want to know what happens next. What will happen with Utopia, with the colony and the corruption? I need the next book!

Both narrators did a good job telling the story, and I liked most of their performances. But both also

had tones that distracted me in a more negative way:
The female voice was quite sharp with certain characters, which I don’t like. Still 4.5 stars. The male voice did nasal tones, which I didn’t like. But still 4.5 stars. I had to laugh when they did “Russian” accents when they acted the native inhabitants of the planet. That was quite fun to listen to.

I really enjoyed this audio book and the story! Can’t wait for the next one. I’m a big fan of this author!!

Delightful

This genre of paranormal romance is new to me and this is the first book I picked up. My oh my, the world the author created is wonderfully unique and loaded with potential. I didn't expect to like this story enough to give it a second listen so soon after finishing the other installments. It was a great introduction piece and I can't help but compare other novels in the same genre to this one. I look forward to reading about the future of the Kadrixan's and the expansion of the world around them. Hopefully we get to read more about their culture and their pasts along with the steamy relationships they have with their new mates. My only criticism is that the dialogue is a little rough around the edges because sometimes the aliens sound a little too much like young humans, Overall, this is a great series to get into. The voice actress is great. The male actor is tolerable however I wish he'd put more actual acting into his voice to sound more like an adult warrior instead of a whiny teenager. Eagerly awaiting the next book!

an enjoyable listen

I enjoyed the story overall, though it felt a bit rushed at the end. The world building was interesting, and the characters had a decent amount of depth.
The narrators were pretty good but the male narrator didn't give the male lead any emotion. His delivery made some moments fall a bit flat.

MONSTER'S TREASURE (nook 1 of KADRIXAN MATES Series) by LYNNEA LEE

Futuristic planet with humans and ways of manipulating the human population into volunteering for destinations to get out of poverty and dire situations. Imprisonment is pending if you don’t have a job or no place to call a home. Then you’re given a choice if you are female to either go and serve alien monsters during rutting season or to a place called Utopia. Supposedly if you go to Utopia, no one is required to work and you get anything you need. However, no one hears back from those who choose the Utopia option. So what’s a female to do, when you can’t get a job and don’t have a place to live?
