Thorne Bay

An Alaskan Packs Novel, Book 1

De: Jeanine Croft

Narrado por: Kelli Tager

Disillusioned and aimless, Evan Spencer makes a pact with herself. To follow wherever the finger of destiny points. Even if that means heading to some obscure Alaskan town she's never heard of. A place where the primal beauty of the backwoods is rivaled only by a certain pair of steely green eyes.

But Thorne Bay has a dark side. It's not just rumors and wary gazes that shadow the darkly alluring Tristan and his reclusive family. Her search for self, as it turns out, leads to a discovery of werewolves and a fight for survival. Alaska might just leave an indelible mark. Love and Death will leave her changed forever.

Alaskan Adventure with wolves

This book was way more than I expected. The snark between the characters was great. Evan, the FMC, was snarky and you couldn't help but love her wit. The words used in this books had me going to research what they meant since they are not in my wheelhouse for language which I love learning new words anyways. This book has all the elements I look for in a book. It has spice, playful banter, suspense and mystery. I thoroughly enjoyed this! The narrator does an amazing job. New to me author. I really hope we get a certain brother's story at some point as I imagine that to be very steamy.

Fun world-building

This is a slow-burn read where shifters live among humans, unbeknownst to them—I always find this sort of setting to be fun and this was no exception! It’s slow-paced, so there’s plenty of time to get to know the female lead and figure out all the things she hasn’t yet.

Overall:
My first experience with this author and I’m calling it a win. I liked the sort-of ‘darker’ approach this author took on werewolves and pack life. It was bit slow-paced, but ultimately: fun.

3.5 stars.

🎧Audio:
The narrator was pleasant enough to listen to and the overall sound quality was good. There were a couple minor hiccups (like a sentence being read twice), but overall well done. 4 stars.

Thorne Bay

Thorne Bay is the first book in An Alaskan Packs Novel series. This is my first book by Jeanine Croft. Evan has decided to follow wherever destiny takes her. She ends up in backwoods of Alaska.

Kelli Tager did a great job narrating this book.

Paranormal Romance

Thorne Bay by Jeanine Croft is a paranormal romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Kelli Tager. This is the first book in the An Alaskan Packs series.

This is the first book of Jeanine's that I have read, and it won't be my last. I will start by saying it did take me a while to get into the book, but I am glad I pushed through tell the end. I enjoyed the relationship between Tristan and Evan. It was messy but I couldn't help but root for them in the end.

Kelli did a great job on the narration. She really knows how to bring a story to life. I look forward to listening to more of her work in the future.

I would recommend this book if you're looking for a paranormal romance, young adult romance, or a supernatural suspense romance.

Wolf Shifter Romance!

First, the narration was wonderful, I have no complaints, Kelli did a wonderful job bring the characters to life.
I love me some wolf shifters! Tristan is everything you want in an MC (once denial is worked through) Evan starts off as a easy going push over, but as the story progresses we watch as she blossoms and gains confidence and strength. I would totally recommend this story to any paranormal romance lovers
