Midnight Prince: Blackthorne Bloodlines #1 (The Blackthorne Vampires)

De: K. Loraine

Narrado por: Shane East, Stella Hunter

Duración: 5 h y 53 m

Resumen del Editor

Our story begins the same as any ill-fated romance. Two households, two families, two species that should never be together.

These are the recipe for tragic, beautiful love, fated to end in flames.

She is my doom. She is my destiny. Unavoidable, impossible to deny, and painful to ignore.

They call me Bastard Prince, a half-breed unworthy of a true title. But I still have to follow the rules. Serve the Blackthorne vampire bloodline.

A shifter and a vampire are forbidden to be together. The law declares it so. But Briar is mine, and I’ll fight family and constitution to the death in order to keep her.

Midnight Prince is the first of an all new series in the Blackthorne Vampires world. It contains a cliffhanger and can be listened to without listening to The Blood Trilogy, but it's recommended to listen to all three previous audiobooks (Blood Captive, Blood Traitor, Blood Heir) to avoid any minor spoilers.

Not bad

Best thing about this book is Shane’s narration. Stella’s narration was a bit dry and lethargic. Storyline wasn’t bad. Wish it hadn’t ended in a cliffhanger.

Lucas Blackthorne is here!

This is K. Loraine's best book yet. Lucas and Briar's story was fantastic. This was sort of a taboo relationship because of their different species and existing problems within their groups. Even through all that they can't help but be drawn to each other. I ended up listening to the audio book twice because the narrator's were just so good at performing with the authors words. So many different accents and both narrators pull them off perfectly. Stella hunter is a new to me narrator and is fast becoming a favorite. She did such a good job as Briar and really brought out her tough side and showed how much of a fighter she was. Stella really made that come across in her performance. This was THE the best Shane East performance as a vampire I've heard so far. He was at his absolute best in this book with that growly sexy voice that just embodies Lucas Blackthorne. Both narrators put so much emotion into their performances I really didn't want to stop listening.

Lucas Blackthorn is one sexy vampire!

This story is PNR with Vampires, Shifters, Witches, and a lot of history. It helps if you have read/listened to the Blackthorne Vampires Series, but is definitely not necessary. I really enjoyed this first part of Lucas and Briar's story! It is fraught with forbidden love, secret meetings, undeniable connection, intrigue, and devastating consequences. Beware that this story ends in a cliffhanger, so you will need to read/listen to Midnight Hunger next. Lucas is a deeply layered character and Kim does a great job of peeling them back so you will fall in love with this sexy vampire. Briar is young, sheltered and has a lot to learn about the world. Unfortunately, there are some tragic circumstances I found myself frustrated with her character, but when I remembered she is young with a lot to learn it made sense. Well worth your time!

Narration in duet is my favorite. Stella and Shane blend together and deliver great performances in this audiobook! I have listened a few times and will do so again.

Completely Captivating Tale!

Beyond 5-Star Narration for a book that I was captured by the story line and characters and I could not put the book down! Sucked completely into the world of Lucas and Briar, I had to keep listening to find out what would happen to them.

This book gives you all the forbidden lovers feel with the vampire twist that Kim Loraine writes so well! Falling into Lucas’s story, you see the struggle with his father the King who only wants him when necessary. We meet Briar, the beautiful shifter whose family has their own secrets and agenda as they move next door to the ruling vampire family. A fantastic duet narration that had me feeling all the passion and fears of the two star-crossed lovers, with the twists and turns I love in a great romance!

Ms. Stella Hunter is a new-to-me narrator and I would definitely come back for more of her story telling. Her switch between American and British accents was graceful. I really liked the emotion and power that the longer dialogues provided her time to produce. Then there is Mr. Shane East...whom I believe gave one of his best romantic performances in this audio. I felt like he just enjoyed and really played with the tones and delivery so well for Lucas. But again, he SHINES as the side characters, giving the King so much vitriol that you want to hate him, and then a surprising turn at Gabriel that no other voice could ever be that character for me. ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!!!!!

Powerful!

All I have to say is, WOW!
K.Lorraine has no doubt hooked me as a listener! The emotions, the settings, the storyline, it all played out wonderfully in this compelling paranormal romance. I was on the edge the whole time and the pleasure scenes were just enough to not make it over the top.
Shane is just as power driven as a vampire as he is in any genre he narrates! Stella Hunter brings the hidden emotions from within the characters and keeps us wanting more!

Love this book

Shane East is an amazing narrator along with Stellar Hunter! Romeo and Juliet paranormal romance.

I absolutely love love the Blackthorne vampires

I really enjoyed the last series and even the Coven short stories. Absolutely FANTASTIC please continue these series please!!!!
Devin sounds like a trueblood vampire lol.😊😆🧛‍♂️

Fantastic!

This is the first installment in the Blackthorne Bloodlines, a vampire romance. This Series is set in the in the Blackthorne Vampires world, and is interconnected with The Blood Trilogy. I was looking for Lucas's story, the Bastard Prince, after listening to The Blood Trilogy. Briar, is a shifter, and Lucas, is a vampire, and they are an amazing and unexpected couple! The storyline is intriguing, sexy, and suspenseful. Looking forward to listen to the next installment in the Series, Midnight Hunger. Shane East and Stella Hunter did a fantastic job with the narration. I enjoyed it.

Loved It!

Midnight Prince is my first audiobook/listen by K. Loraine. I loved it and highly recommend it. Amazing narration by Shane East and Stella Hunter.

Wonderful!

I loved this story. Although i didn’t read the others about the families to get some background on them, I didn’t feel lost in the story at all. Extremely well written, awesome character arcs, and a story that holds and keeps your attention from start to finish! I usually don’t go for vampire-werewolf stories anymore, but with this story, I fell back in love with them! If you’ve listened to the story as I have, the two narrators completely bring the story to life! Stella Hunter and Shane East absolutely slay the narrations! They make you feel like you’re right there with them. In my opinion Briar and Lucas couldn’t be narrated by anyone else! Although each narrator performed multiple characters' voices, each had their own tone that they stuck with throughout the story, I was easily able to tell them apart.
