Soul Eater

Monstrous, Book 1

De: Lily Mayne

Narrado por: Michael Lesley

Twenty years ago, monsters rose on earth and began a new age of civilization.

One where humans live in military-controlled, cramped and dirty cities along the coasts, and the majority of the United States is known as the Wastes. A lawless, desolate and dangerous place, teeming with monsters that have claimed the land for their own.

Including Wyn the Soul Eater.

He appears every three years, making his way across the country and slaughtering humans randomly, sucking them dry until they’re nothing but husks.

I’ve only been in the military for six months, but now I’m part of a unit tasked with trying to stop and capture him. And when I’m the only soldier out of hundreds that the Soul Eater leaves alive, I realise that something about me has intrigued him.

But what is it? What could a twenty-three-year-old guy from the south, with no one and nothing in the world, have possibly done to capture the attention of a death monster with horns, blackened fingertips and a face hidden in the dark depths of his hood?

Soul Eater is book one of Monstrous, a post-apocalyptic fantasy series featuring monsters and human men falling in love. It is a m/m love story and contains sexually explicit content and graphic depictions of torture and violence.

Just being honest here

So, I love this series, adore it. I’ve read all the books so when I found out the audiobooks were finally coming out I was so stoked. Soul Eater is still a wonderful book, emotional and sexy and interesting. But Michael Lesley’s southern accent was…. Not great. I did get kinda used to it from about chapter 4, onwards, though. But it was sometimes inconsistent and fade away a little here and there. Also, and I’m not sure if it was a weird audible glitch or editing snafus but sometimes I’d hear a sentence repeated. And a couple times I heard Edin or Danny’s voice sound like Wyn. I did really like his Wyn voice, though. It was dark and raspy and great for the character.

Despite my criticism, the Edin preview at the end of the book made me look forward to the next book. I just hope Michael Lesley improves his accent for the Wyn novella.

Perfection

I’ve read all the books first, but listening really makes the difference. A huge applause to narrator Michael Lesley, who truly is able to make all the different voices so real. This is a wonderful MM (Male, Male, Monster, Man) story. I just want more people to discover the comfort of these stories. Lily is a genius.

Wonderful Story

Ms Mayne has awesome imagination, I absolutely love this book , and Michael is a true master of voices . Danny and Wyn are perfect together.

Overall took my breath away

this book kept me on my toes. I loved this book and the readers voice. great book!

Perfection

This entire series is absolute perfection. I will be coming back to it often in the near future
