Natural Law

By: Joey W. Hill

Narrated by: Julie McKay

Mackenzie "Mac" Nighthorse is a highly respected homicide detective and a career cop. There isn't a dangerous situation that can back him down. However, the personal becomes uncomfortably entangled in the professional when he goes undercover in a high class BDSM club as a male submissive in order to find a Dominatrix who is winning the trust and then murdering her chosen partners. When his path crosses Violet Siemanski's, he realizes he's found a Mistress willing to be his ally in finding the murderess. But Violet is also going to shatter Mac's shields and make him question who he is and what he wants, a challenge more disturbing than any case he's ever worked.

This book was ok.

I thought the narrator was great. I found a few scenes difficult to listen to. It was a lil heavy on the BDSM. Some Bdsm is good but sometimes I had a wtf? moment. I got the book for under $5 so it's worth that. I wouldn't give up a credit or pay full price though.

The Narrator Did It?

I think I would have liked this book better if the narrator hadn't yelled and overdramatized it. The mystery was well done, and I didn't guess the villain which I appreciated. It was only a relatively small part of the story. The S&M part of the story seemed good but listening was difficult because of the yelling and overdramatization. Stories on this topic don't need extra stimulation.

OK but misses the mark a little

So, I liked another story by this author, so I thought I'd try this one. It was OK. Lots of little problems with the plot and some things were just to fantastical to be believed. I also have listed to other narration by Maxine Mitchell, which I loved, but I did not like her narration for the main female character. Her voice / tone / style of speaking just is not good for Domme. I don't think Domme means bitch and that's just the way it sounded. The Domme in this story was not a mean person - the voice just was harsh and didn't match well. The other character narrations were ok. Overall, it was worth listening to. I'm not sorry I purchased it, but I won't ever re-read this one.

Interesting book...horrible reader

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

I don't know if the audio edition is better than the print version. I won't choose another book read by this person.

What didn’t you like about Maxine Mitchell’s performance?

Maxine Mitchell's reading style is very jerky. She puts puts pauses in the oddest places and it makes it difficult to follow the story.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

The Reading Style MA DE ME Dislike The story.

Mystery/Thriller I think not

Would you try another book from Joey W. Hill and/or Maxine Mitchell?

No.

What was most disappointing about Joey W. Hill’s story?

I thought it was a murder mystery, it's 95% (redundant) erotica 5% murder.

How could the performance have been better?

The main male character is supposed to be a manly man but the female narrator's voice made him sound wimpy.

Could you see Natural Law being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

Probably. A lesser version of 50 Shades.
