Salvation's Kiss

Tales of Mython, Book 1

De: Kathryn Jayne

Narrado por: Erika LeonGuerrero

For Conrad, moving to Overton was the promise of a fresh start, a way to escape the pain and ridicule, and leave behind the hateful words that reminded him every day he was a monster.

He would not make the same mistake again. He would keep his other-self hidden, his heart shielded. Or that had been his intention. The moment his gaze met Ashley's, his resolve faltered. With a single disarming glance, she became all he could think about; an infatuation he knew must be shed.

But she was human, incompatible with his kind. To love her would be to one day watch her burn.

He had thought wrestling with his heart was his biggest concern, but his new friends harbor a secret. They hold the answers to one of the most burning questions of their time. But how much is Conrad willing to sacrifice to get those answers?

Interesting but Take Caution!!!

This young-adult take on the preternatural world was interesting! Unfortunately, I also found Jayne’s attempt at eloquence really distracting. Maybe a little more experience and/or an expansion of her vocabulary will make the rest of the series more enjoyable.
The threats in certain scenes absolutely made my flesh crawl, which was probably the point (so good job there), but I almost didn’t finish the book because of them…
The narrator does a good job of finding her way through difficult phrases and scenes with great diction and emotion. The flow of narration was pretty good, as well. I think the different voice actors used for certain characters mean that they will return as the main character in their own perspective of a book, but I found the difference in cadence and acting a little jarring. It might make the overall experience of the series more enjoyable, though.
That’s just my opinion. Maybe it’s just not my kind of book.

I loved this audiobook!

This was a great story and the narrator is an excellent storyteller. I love her narration style! She had a nice pace and I was completely engrossed in the story.
