Claiming Marcus

Lords of Discord, Book 1

By: Jocelynn Drake

Narrated by: Kenneth Obi

Vampires slaughtered my family. No one believed me until I met some new friends, who promised to help me get justice.

But nothing prepared me for Marcus Varik. Tall, dark, and mind-numbingly sexy. But he’s also shy, protective, and adorably eccentric.

Oh God, I should have never agreed to betray him. Hopefully, it's not too late to fix my mistake before I lose more people I love.

Claiming Marcus is the first book in an MM paranormal romance series that has vampires, betrayal, annoying brothers, music, heartbreak, hope, sexy times, and a raven named Ozzie.

Loved it!!!

The story drew me in quickly and didn't disappoint. It didn't move too slow or drag with too much detail. The narrator could differentiate the voices a bit more though. All things said it was very enjoyable.

It’s a good story

The story is pretty cool. Classic vampire romance
The performance for Ethan and Marcus is so weird. The way the characters are described it’s hard to picture them with these voices. Marcus is described as tall, muscular and with should length black hair and piercing blue eyes. Which sounds like a dream yeah? But then the voice sounds the way I imagine King Kong would if he could speak. Ethan sounds extremely feminine, which is fine but his character doesn’t seem like he would speak that way. Idk it made the whole interactions between the two so hard to picture. You can have a deep voice without sounding like an angry monster. I skipped some parts and found myself happier that it was over

OUTSTANDING!

Marcus and Ethan's story is a must read. Or, just relax your eyes and allow the amazing narrator 's voice to take you away with the different characters' voices, while reading this amazing story to you. The whole experience was totally awesome. I highly recommend. Now, on to book II. Enjoy, you will not be disappointed! 🥰👍

low angst, great read, perfectly narrated

loved this story of a vampire finding his forever love. the story was written well and the narration was great! the voices really gave the book something extra and much better than what I could have produced in my own head.

interesting series start

Would I listen to it again: yes
Did the story keep me engaged: yes
Was I invested in the characters: yes

Story comment: good flow, well written characters, some good world building and an interesting story with lots going on. I liked both main characters and they kept me entertained.

Kenneth Obi has done a great performance on Claiming Marcus. I had no problem distinguishing characters and the rhythm, inflections and intonations all worked to bring the book and it's characters to life.
