Dragon Unearthed: A Dragon Shifter Sci-Fi Romance

Drakkonian Wars, Book 1

De: Ishabelle Torry

Narrado por: Erica Hilliard

Because sometimes history proves myths are real....

Dr. Jemma Flannigan

There’s nothing like a new dig to get my heart pumping. An endless desert of possibility awaits. Ancient bones. Pottery. Cave art...a dragon? He’s huge. Stark-naked. Covered in scales. And he says I’m his mate. I don’t know what’s more terrifying - the fact he’s an alien, or that his very presence muddles my senses, and his touch leaves me a quaking mess.

Kai

After crash landing on this foreign blue planet thousands of years ago, the last thing I expect is to be struck by the sweet scent of the Nocktam. It beckons to me, rousing me from hibernation, away from the safety of the cave I’ve called home for centuries. Her essence draws me like no other, and I can’t deny the primal need to claim her as mine. She’s beautiful. Vibrant. Spirited. And in grave danger....

These humans have no idea their very existence hangs in the balance of an age-old galactic war. But I'll protect my mate at all costs. Even if it means I have to sacrifice an entire planet.

If you’re a fan of steamy sci-fi romance, dragon shifters from space, and feisty heroines, then listen to the first book of the Drakkonian Wars today!

It’s the narrator

This seems like it would be a good story, actually it starts out as a good story. But, the narrator Erica Hilliard sounds OK for the female but her voice never changes for the other characters. I find myself having to listen again to understand who’s conversation I’m hearing

Who's talking?

it would be nice if the narrator could differentiate her voice between the male and female leads. I listen to this while I'm doing other things and I was constantly backing up to try to figure out who was talking. there are narrators out there who can do both male and female voices-please find one.

Narrator’s Performance was Severely Lacking

This was my first Ishabelle Torry book but it certainly won’t be the last. DRAGON UNEARTHED was a delightful story. It was a fated mates, insta-lust, Erotic SciFi Romance with dragon shifting aliens. It took place on 🌎 and I absolutely loved how the real life details of the plot were woven with the fictional parts to form a believable story. I thoroughly enjoyed how the author tied science fiction with history. I also found the female MC, Jemma, easily relatable, with her jerkoff ex-husband.

I do have to admit that there was this one thing that drove me up the wall about this book. It’s small but man did it seriously bug me. Jemma is a doctor. She has a PhD. However all throughout the book there was this one antagonistic character who would refer to her as Miss instead of Dr. Not once did she snap at him over it. Well, that’s not quite true. There was one time where the man said “Mrs.” and she snapped back “It’s Miss” because her ex was standing there. I get what was behind her saying that (in the author’s mind) but #1 it wasn’t correct, #2 I can’t believe that anyone would discount/ignore all their education or proper title and #3 that whole scene was screwed up anyways in the audiobook because the narrator misspoke and said “Miss” instead of “Mrs.”

Erica Hilliard was the narrator for this book. While her voice is great and she has wonderful pacing I didn’t really enjoy her performance. When bringing to life a book written in the first person with accounts from both the male and female main characters a narrator needs, at minimum, two different voices. This is to differentiate between the characters. Hilliard did not do that. That means that her performance was severely lacking IMO.

Great Read, Steamy Scenes.

I listened to this book after it was recommended to me by a friend. I love how the author bridged true US historical events with her fictional story. It completely made sense to me. SciFi and Steamy Romance just what a Nerdy Girl needs. The characters were well done in my opinion and the female lead reminds me of a girl I once knew. I’m looking forward to the next book.

Kept me engaged

An interesting story that kept me reading or rather listening. There were a few points that left me a little confused but overall I enjoyed it. My one problem with the narrator was that she did not change between the male and female voices. The two main characters, Jemma and Kai, were written in first person so sometimes I wasn’t sure (or I forgot) which “I” was speaking because the voices didn’t change.
