Not a Bad Book, Enjoyable.

Whenever I see someone who gives a book a bad review without going into detail as to why its so bad, makes me want to read/listen to the book to find out why. Plot? Yes there is a clear concise one. Slow build up? Yes. Satisfying ending? Yes. Future story possibilities? Definitely. Likeable characters? Yes.

There were a couple of possibilities in the book that needed further development, ie...the brother in law, but I think that will be taken care of in future books. The vampire Collins, yup, another loose end that will probably be resolved in a future story. The Fae queen etc....yeah future stories.

The only problem with the book was in my opinion the Narrator. She did not have a great range of male voices, in fact they all sounded alike. However, due to the authors writing it was easy to determine who was speaking.

If you want a good story, a different take on Werewolves etc....get this one. It isn't bad, and an easy read/listen, with a good story.

Could Not Get Into It

I am not a fantasy book listener, but have listened to others vampire, werewolf books before and have enjoyed them, but just could not get this. I went to the end to see what happened to see if I could be enticed to go back and listen, but could not. Maybe is was the narrator, but not--Suehyla El-Attar was the reason I picked this one because I have enjoyed her on another.

I will still try other Stella Cameron books though.

Just read the book, don't try to listen to it.

The story may be ok but the narrator ruined it for me. I got past the first 2 hours and just could not take it anymore.
