After Hours on Bourbon Street

Running in Fear Series, Book 8

By: Trinity Blacio

Narrated by: Michelle Jones

In After Hours on Bourbon Street, book eight of the number one best-selling Amazon romance writer Trinity Blacio’s futuristic Running in Fear series, we meet Valda Sart, a unique creature in this new world.

Valda hated being a skunk ape - a Bigfoot...a Yeti by another name. But she was no ordinary skunk ape. Valda had gifts and kept them hidden. But now, someone was hunting her, and she knew it was only a matter of time before they caught her. The six men of her pack - the ones she'd been promised to, the ones who would not give up on her - were determined to claim her.

Her only option to keep her only freedom was to use her gift and blend in with the world around her. Hiding among the humans, she realized how much her life had sucked before she’d forged this new one in New Orleans. Here in the city, she had friends and men who actually talked to her and courted her.

But for the last six years, something had been pulling at her. It was only a matter of time before she, too, would have to join Jaycee, Suzanne, and Lissa on the new planet. Even in her dreams, she'd seen the new, beautiful world and the wonderful and terrible beings already living there.

How can they ask her to give up romance, love, and friends? Didn't they know what it would mean if this group of men found her?

Never a dull moment!

I asked to receive this free review Audible book and wrote this unbiased review. This book is full of action, suspense, mystery, hot sex scenes, mistakes, apologies, forgiveness, shifters of all kinds, friendships, and love. I like how the author shows that mistakes happen on both sides when trying to build a relationship and apologies need to be made. Her mates know that they have to go slowly with Valda since she had been sexually assaulted, and therefore she has little trust in men. The narrator does a good job of conveying the emotions of these characters. Her words flow clearly and smoothly. There needed to be a little better job of editing since words were repeated several times. Overall I enjoyed her narration.

After Hours on Bourbon Street

Things are coming to a head soon. The battle is closing in and Valda and her mates play a major role in how things will proceed. Things begin to heat up and the enemy is showing its face. Valda brings a lot to the fight but can she and her mates find a common ground? It was interesting to see the way their relationship takes shape. Valda is a strong woman and her mates are dominant men. Emotions are heady and wills clash but love is strong and this new family must find what they need and how they fit together. Valda and her men are not my favorites in this series but I am interested in seeing how this series ends. Some of the new characters introduced in this story fell flat for me and I felt them lacking. There is only one more woman that needs to be found but will they find and save her before it is too late? While narrator Michele Jones does a good job of bringing the emotions out in the characters, I was not fond of many of the voices that were used for the characters. I received this audiobook for free in return for my honest review.
