Resumen del Editor

Paen Scott is a Dark One: a vampire without a soul. And his mother is about to lose hers too if Paen can't repay a debt to a demon by finding a relic known as the Jilin God in five days. Half-elf Samantha Cosse may have gotten kicked out of the Order of Diviners, but she's still good at finding things, which is why she just opened her own private investigation agency. Paen is one of Sam's first clients and the only one to set her elf senses tingling, which makes it pretty much impossible to keep their relationship on a professional level. Sam is convinced that she is Paen's Beloved - the woman who can give him back his soul...whether he wants it or not.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"A fascinating and fun writer." ( Best Reviews)

The formula is getting a little boring

Would you be willing to try another book from Katie MacAlister? Why or why not?

I'm taking a break from MacAlister for a while. She finds a formula and goes with it, but after a few iterations of the formula it gets a little boring. I also really struggle with her "falling in love in a week" theme in every single book. Sure, they are supernatural beings and completely unrealistic, but even that fast of a romance is unrealistic.

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

I have heard this lady read other books and I need to remember that she sounds like she is holding her nose. It's not the best.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No.

Meh

I just couldn’t get into it. I’m glad it came with the romance package and I did not spend a credit on this book. The dialogue was annoying and/or lame half the time, the story line was predictable and the I found the narrator’s voice for the boyfriend terrible and a turn off.

Pain is stubborn

Pain is a lovable stubborn character. I love his Scottish accent and his wit. Like I said before Katie MacAlister is sure to make you laugh and you will fall in love with Pain.

love it.

I own this book and have read it many times. but since I don't have time to sit and read books much anymore it's great doing my work and listening to it.

Chevelle

loved it, story line had me not wanting to put it down. narrator was great.

I finished it.

This was not the best book I've read.
The least characters were not , that likeable. It should have grabbed you and helps your attention. It just barely did.

Fun Story

I loved the story and characters, however, the narrator wasn't the best. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

Bad Narrator And Bad Story

First - the narrator makes it sound like the lead character is a old maid who shouldn't be in this story at all. Sorry but I just can't make stories like these work when I think of the lead as a 40+ year-old.

Second - why did the stories leave the Eastern European them? The vampires being Scottish made no sense. Plus, how much additional lore did the author fit into this book that I feel like hasn't come up in past ones. I also liked how previously every story linked slightly together with one or two characters but this book comes from left field and didn't feel like it fit.

Overall, I'm not sure I'll be going on to the next since it seems a risk now.

worst narrator

narrator so bad it was almost painful to listen to. slogged through it cuz I paid but ick
