Moon Tortured

Sky Brooks Series, Book 1

De: McKenzie Hunter

Narrado por: Jorjeana Marie

Nothing is ever what it seems-including me.

The Midwest Pack has three goals: Protect the pack. Protect the pack. And yeah, protect the pack.

I have my own goal: Live a simple life and hope no one ever discovers that the quiet young woman next door turns into a wolf.

All my efforts go up in flames when a vampire attack draws the attention of the Midwest Pack. The next thing I know, I'm staring down Ethan, a handsome and alluring alpha, as he demands to know what I am. Not who. What. The pack was warned that I'm not just a werewolf but a weapon-one that could be used against them.

A weapon? Me? I'd love to dismiss it as a case of mistaken identity, but I've become the supernaturals' Most Wanted overnight. The vampires have put a bounty on my head. A necromancer attempts to kill me in a room full of people. And a mysterious witch is watching me far too closely for comfort.

The only thing standing between me and certain death is the pack, but we're definitely not on the same page. I want to lie low, go back to my typical life, and live to fight another day, while their MO is "seek, confront, and destroy."

And depending on the answers we find, the enemy they destroy...might be me.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Character-driven... I enjoyed it... perfect for fans looking for a new urban fantasy series." (Novel Knight)

Very entertaining with great characters

Th author is real with a talented of developing characters that you really care about. Enjoyed immensely.

Horrible Narrator! Good story

What did you love best about Moon Tortured?

the story was good and worth reading-dont listen! The narrator is so nasally it is difficult to listen to and it sounds like just reading (no different voices).

How could the performance have been better?

New narrator. Maybe she could have blown her nose and work on voices

Weak and foolish main character

The primise of the book sounded good but execution not so much. Main character was weak and constantly made foolish decisions so much so it was hard to finish.

Just Okay

The story isn't bad but it didn't keep me engrossed. It definately did not leave me with a desperate need to read the next book. The narrative also felt flat. I had to speed up the narrative a bit to keep from falling asleep.

Tried to listen 2 times!

I can't actually say if I would like the story, I didn't finish both times. The narration was so boring I couldn't listen to the end

Loving the start to the series

I love the writing and the way the characters are written. McKenzie gives each character a distinct style and personality. I am eager to learn about them. As far as the main character, Sky is quirky but smart. She is definitely underestimated. I am interested in how the relationship between Sky and Ethan will play out. What is the deal between her and Josh?

Great start to a series!

This book is made me a McKenzie Hunter fan! The book is about Skylar Brooks who is a werewolf, but has been living as a human. No spoilers. After a home invasion, Skylar is taken to the pack retreat where she meets other weres. She learns more about herself and how to be a werewolf. There are other types of weres, vampires, witches and other nonhumans. McKenzie Hunter’s otherworld society is well thought out.

The story is good, but it is made better by the addition of characters with depth and well-written prose. The characters feel real. They have flaws and strengths. Some are jerks. Some of the characters are laugh out loud funny.

This is nerdy, I know, but I appreciate the range of vocabulary. There were some terms I had to look up, which is easy on my Kindle. When I saw it was available in audio, too. I couldn’t wait to listen. Highly recommend!

it sucked

The narrator sucked and I couldnt stand her voice. The story just wasn't good. I dont think it was worth the credit.

Slow Read and Bad Edit

There are times where it sounds like the narrator has a bad cold or she is talking with the mic so close to her face her lips are on it, and all this can happen in a single sentence.

Thank goodness for the ability to speed up the play back because otherwise I would have forgotten the start of the sentence before reaching the end.

Great read

A good series, I couldn't wait to get to the next one. Before finishing the first, I bought all. The narrator was terrific. It really held my interest.
