Edge Hunter 1

Edge Hunter, Book 1

De: Dante King

Narrado por: Chris Graves, Kat Auden

In a world where magic users craft monsters to gain supernatural abilities, the monsters are fighting back.

After devouring countless humans, they can now shapeshift into people. They live among the human realms, waiting for their moment to strike.

Prince Gray, heir to the throne, has discovered these shapeshifters. Stopping this hidden force will require alliances with creatures beyond the edge of civilization: a secluded tribe of beastkin women.

The all-female tribe exists on the edge between human and animal. They are powerful, but they are nothing compared to the threat of the shapeshifters. They need someone to protect them, someone who can unlock their potential, someone who has the ability to transform them into so much more. Someone like Gray: a man with the ability to bond to the beastkin. In exchange for protection, he'll receive power.

Together with these alluring non-humans, Gray seeks the truth behind the monsters and the origin of the strange powers he wields.

sounds need to be adjusted

Male sounds should be tuning up, it’s tooo quiet.
Female voice is very good, male is ok.

I've Got Some Words About Feather... t(-_-)t

From my current place, it's an interesting story. The MC is annoying at first but it's by design and pretty quickly he'll grows on you. Really interesting powers the MC has. Characters are fun. Chapter 21 in general gave the story a good twist into something that's got my attention. Aside from a REALLY cringey opening spice scene in the beginning(Spill? Really? Who tf says that), it's been fun. The world building is all off the distance but it's laid enough ground work that I feel can been built on top of. There's some really interesting lore that comes in the later half of the book that was great.
I'm generally really into DK's books or am just out. This is the first I've been a little ehhhh on. I'll finish it and depending on if my guess from below happens, I'll continue the story onto the next book.
VA's did an amazing job. Found both of them very easy to listen to. Haven't heard these two before but they're 🤌

--Spoilers onward/Lemme Vent--
Holy hell, Feather is a ridiculous part of this story..
I'm 21 chapters into this and I know jack about this chick called feather except that she's dead and MC was madly in love with her. I think she was a farm girl.. maybe? He's a prince... suuuurrreeee buddy. Somehow this godly/beautiful/perfect/GOAT girl just stumbles into his life then dies. Sounds like authorian magic to me! Every time she comes up, I'm audibly growning. She basically serves as the morally skewed compass that the MC follows and ffs, it's psychologically grating. I've never been so annoyed with a dead character who's not had a single word of dialog. Rather than building character develop with her, I'm so glad she died... which is horrible. Whether that's my burden to bare or this stories poorly driven character arc, IDK. Also, I'm calling it now... Feather was bad news and had to die to save the MC. *fingers crossed*

-Update-
Wow.. it's so obvious... the cover. Feather... Falcon.. dammit! But, the story has gotten substantially better. Now that MC isn't whining every 5 mins about Feather being dead. it's surreal that I'm so happy she's alive simply because there won't be anymore bitching. Hazah!

meh

good story, starts a little rough (and not in the fun way) but it finds it's groove pretty quick...
simple but fun story with an interesting world.

my biggest gripe with this book is the female narrator...
Steve worked his ass off for this book and deserved 5 stars.
Kat did fine most of the time, great voices, okay emotional deliverance, but during the spicy scenes she was so stilted and awkward that every single time it felt like the characters were being forced to participate against their will... ruined them completely for me unfortunately :(

Good start

The story moves along nicely the deeper into the book. I felt the listener did not have enough info at the start. The author did explain as things went on. The narrators were excellent and worthy of a listen and book 2

cool concept

didn't like the MC at first but the further I got into it the more the story progressed the more I grew fond of him and boy oh boy the spice was really good
