Wild

De: Meghan O’Brien

Narrado por: Alexandria Wilde

The only thing that frightens shapeshifter Selene Rhodes more than the full moon is the idea of falling in love. Selene Rhodes has lived her whole life with a terrible secret: Not only can she take the form of any animal at will, but once a month the full moon transforms her into a fierce wolf-creature without a human conscience. Managing her condition means living by a strict routine, and more importantly, abstaining from intimate relationships with human beings. Selene is convinced that love and friendship can only bring her pain.

Forensic pathologist Eve Thomas is well acquainted with the pain of romantic love. Swearing off relationships after having her heart broken by a cheating ex, Eve throws herself into her work: catching murderers. When Selene comes to her aid after an attack by a masked man in Golden Gate Park, Eve is shocked by how powerfully she is drawn to her mysterious savior. Shaken by her own feelings for Eve, Selene is even more terrified to realize she isn’t even close to being the scariest monster stalking San Francisco. There is someone out in the city who is killing for pleasure, and his next target is the one woman he thinks might be able to stop him: Eve.

Good, but...

Would you consider the audio edition of Wild to be better than the print version?

Despite this being a very good audio book overall, no.Although the narration added depth to the story, some aspects of it shift my personal preference towards the print (e-book) version.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Wild?

Nope. I'm not going to spoil that for you.

What aspect of Alexandria Wilde’s performance would you have changed?

I really liked Alexandria Wilde's narration, but Selene's "Russian" accent did not seem to match the character's background.

And while I would normally overlook the pronunciation of 'perigee' in a romance novel, I was helpless against the tidal pull of the occasional "peri-ghee" towards a culinary tangent.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

A hot shapeshifter romance.

Any additional comments?

Wild is an entertaining mix of romance, crime and urban fantasy.
I would recommend the audiobook to anyone who doesn't mind Selene's accent as much as I do.

Loved it but wish there was more

Loved the book but feel like it ended a bit unfinished. I was hopeful there was a sequel or series that continues the story but there doesn't seem to be one. Left with a bunch of questions about what happened next. The potential for further books about Selene, Eve and Jac and what happens now that Selena's secret is known by others is great, sorry to see that the author hasn't expanded on the story.

Romance /thriller/Sci-fi

Enjoyable tale with good character development. It is performed well... Overall entertaining. If recommend it.

Wild about this book !!!

I really loved listening to this book!! I read it a few years ago and really enjoyed the chemistry between Selene and Eve. However, the narrator really brought it to life! I’m a big fan of shapeshifters and this book did not disappoint. My only frustration is that there is no sequel 😢

Really great story, but...

I almost quit listening to the story due to the horribly odd breathy emphasis used by narrator. she did a great job on the voices, but the weird stress put on the last word in almost every sentence was almost too much to handle-uh, if you know what I mean-uh.

Great story with perfectly chosen narration

This was my first O'Brien book and it won't be my last! loved it!

I enjoyed every part of this story

From start to finish. I couldn't stop listening. I was definitely on the edge of my seat with this one. Beautiful love story with mystery, paranormal and a psycho serial killer. Beautiful love story.

The narrator sounds like Abby craden. idk I could be wrong but I've listened to several books she has narrated and she has a one of a kind voice.
thank you for the story !

Steamy!

This book is everything you think it’s going to be, with the friggin’ sexiest narration to boot!
