Full Blooded

De: Amanda Carlson

Narrado por: Casey Holloway

In the vein of Kelley Armstrong and Patricia Briggs, Amanda Carlson's debut is a new urban fantasy that rewrites the werewolf myth. . .

It's not easy being a girl. It's even harder when you're the only girl in a family of werewolves. But it's next to impossible when your very existence spells out the doom of your race. . . Meet Jessica McClain -- she just became part of the pack.

The narrator sounds too young.

I read this series before listening to it, and it is a great story. Unfortunately, the narrator just sounds way to young for this character. That's the only thing I didn't like.

Narration :(

The narrator for this book was not good. There were very odd pauses and I ended up finally bumping the speed to 1.25x in order to finish the book. The book itself was ok, but I would recommend reading it yourself.

I want more!!!! Audible please record 2nd book:-)

I am going to make this short. Loved the story, love the concept, but the performance not so much. The narrator is good but the her voice sound too young to me. Half the time I felt I was listen to a teen book. But the author made up for it. I really enjoy the story. It was different then your usual Werewolf books. It's not all about the romance their is an actual plot. But don't get me wrong their is some romance.

There is some yummy men, there is a strong female, father-daughter, sister-brother, and some fight scenes.

So if you don't want to get into a long series, this is not a book for you, if you can't get into an book if the narrator does not fit your imagination then look else where. But if you like have lore retold in a different way then check this out.

Hope you agree and enjoy good listens:-)

Like the story but....

Would you listen to Full Blooded again? Why?

Probably not although I will listen to the next book in the series because I do like the story line.

Did Casey Holloway do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

Casey did fine with the female characters but the male characters leave a lot to be desired. I never knew which male was talking unless it was mentioned. I am hoping she gets better because as hot as some of the characters are made out to be, if I heard them actually talking like that, I would have a hard time keeping a straight face.

Any additional comments?

As I mentioned, I will listen to book 2 because the story line drew me in but sometimes I just wanted to hit Jessica off the side of the head and the narration for the male charaters need to be better.

Not a bad story but...

What did you love best about Full Blooded?

I liked the story idea. I even got into the characters and story line. But the narrator almost ruined it for me. She did a number of voices which weren't terrible but it's the way in which she read. It was as if she tried to enunciate each word....so much so it sounded stiff and mechanical. It really detracted from the whole experience. It was so bad I had this huge desire multiple times to just give up on the book because I couldn't stand this woman's mechanical way of reading. I'd love to see where this series goes next, but if they keep the same narrator I might have to rethink it awhile.
