Wake's Claim

Paranormals of Avynwood, Book 1

De: Michelle Dare

Narrado por: Troy Duran, Sarah L. Colton

Wake had lived in fear for far too long. Life hadn’t been easy for him. Every day, he resisted his natural instincts to claim the one female meant for him. An event from his past stopped him in his tracks every time his primal urges pushed him toward her.

Paige accepted the role she played in Wake’s life. She was the one he wanted but never allowed himself to have. But when someone else showed interest in her, Wake had to decide, once and for all.

Putting his heart on the line left the shifter vulnerable, something he never wanted to be again. And just when he gave in to his instincts, fate dealt the pair a cruel hand.

Nightmares came true, causing Paige to flee to the only place she felt safe - in the arms of Wake. Pack life wasn’t an easy life, but Paige wouldn’t give up the man who held her heart. Only together could the two move forward and find the happiness they both deserved.

Seriously Soloman is the best!!

At the beginning I was confused. There are many references to other horrible things that have happened to these characters mutuel times. Since I thought this was the first in the series I now have to wonder if it’s some type of spin off.

Upon getting to know Wake I am not sure why he isn’t claiming his mate. I thought that’s what all wolves waiting their whole life for? I really felt sorry for Paige. She wants him but he denies her so she tries to move on.
My favorite parts and character all include one guy....Solomon the Vamp. He cracked me up with all his crazy words. I loved his whole “best friend” thing he thinks he has going with Wake. This character was needed to lighten up the story.

Overall it’s a good story once I got past a few things. I really liked Soloman and Ford as my favorite characters. This is a first time author for me. The story was nicely done and the characters were sad, dark and a bit of fun. I did listen to this on audio and Troy Duran and Sarah L Colton did a wonderful job.

Troy Duran's Voice Though

Oh wow! Where has Troy Duran's voice been my whole life? His voice was perfect for Wake and Sarah was awesome too! This was my first book I read by Michelle Dare! What a great story and made me so emotional! Highly recommend this book!!!

Love it!

Wakes claim is the first book in the Paranormals of Avynwood series by Michelle Dare and takes place after the events of Arianne trilogy. I already have read the book and wasn't disapointed in this audiobook. Really recommend it. Really good.

Wake Can Claim My Heart

I had already read Wake's Claim and then I had the opportunity to listen to the audiobook. I feel even deeper in love with Michelle Dare's paranormal world. Wake's audiobook is amazing, Troy Duran and Sarah L Colton do an amazing job bringing the story to life. I felt all the emotions, passion, and love in Ms. Dare's words.
Wake fights his wolf, who knows Paige is his mate. He feels inadequate and self-conscious after being taken advantage of by another paranormal who put him under a spell causing his life to implode. Even though he loves and knows Paige is his. He just can't bring himself to claim her but also can't help guarding her every night. As the book progresses, Wake matures and realizes he cannot fight fate but fate may not always be kind in the paranormal world.
Paige loves Wake but feels hopeless about their situation. Trying to move on isn't easy and as she moves through the story she becomes a much stronger woman than she appeared in the Ariane trilogy.
I am the first to say I'm not usually a paranormal reader but I love this world created by Michelle Dare. Her characters have become like old friends. Their relationships are all so close and intertwined the reader gets caught up on others in the world. I look forward to each and every book set in this paranormal world.

Not a fan of weak @ss paige

I came to like and appreciate the vamp bros Ford and Solomon b/c they were a positive influence fir Wake and helped him. It took a lot but Wake finally admits to Paige being his mate and commits to keeping her safe. I liked how the pack stepped up for paige. I was ticked at paige for starting things with Silas. She knew she was Wake's mate and nothing would come but trouble so she caused it. Dumb human girl! After all they had been through goofball paige wants a ring?? How frivolous, she's already mated and claimed. Dumb human. Stupid vapid girl. The narrators were good.

Not bad

I'm truly feel that this is what twilight (no hat on the book nor the movie) should of be . Good story and great Narrating. It didn't really drag at all. so I appreciate it.

Amazing Story, Great Narration!

This is the first book in a spin-off series, and can easily be listened to without knowing anything about the original series. Events and characters are mentioned that appeared in the first, but for the most part the backstory is explained so you don't feel lost. Wake is a wolf shifter that feels like he's too damaged to accept his mate, Paige. Paige loves Wake, but can't tolerate the limbo they are in. To save them both from the emotional roller-coaster they are on, Wake leaves town and Paige tries to date someone else. But trouble comes calling from the past putting Paige's life in danger and making Wake realize he can't live without his mate.
The narrators are both amazing and work together well, each bringing their unique voice to the story. I'm looking forward to listening to them again in the next book in the series.

Perfect Mate!

Wake's Claim (Paranormals of Avynwood, Book 1) begins with a intriguing prologue that takes place three months earlier. I love the array of characters which include humans, shifters and vampires. Bountiful heap of history to give you awareness. Wake's sprouting is panorama, as Paige is well equalized. The narrative had a creative spirit with a inner struggle. The writing style flows through smoothly with her character's catch the eye with peaks and valleys. Angsty moments splashdown when fated mates due to circumstances, resist. Would love more, hoping book two is turned into a audio.

Troy Duran, Sarah L. Colton dual narration was just right. Inflection and tone flowed through smoothly. I absolutely love listening to Troy Duran's deep baritone voice. Sarah L. Colton's nectarous voice is intoxicating. A luscious listen taking you to a fantasy realm.
