Critic reviews

“Castle’s world-building is superb.” ( RT Book Reviews)

I liked it - wish they had the rest on here!

If you could sum up Dark Awakening in three words, what would they be?

Hot Scottish Hero

What other book might you compare Dark Awakening to and why?

None. The story was unique.

Which character – as performed by Peter Bradbury – was your favorite?

Tynen, the hero. The actor was SO good with the Scottish accent. I loved it. And he conveyed just the right passion. Perfect.

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

I'm not sure what a tag line is, but I would describe it as unique, romantic, and darkly magical

A great new Series - don't miss it !!

Hot sexy low blood Scottish vampire who is a Hunter is sent to find a 'Seer' for his Queen in the hope to save their dynasty of vampires but what he finds is much more than he bargains for.... love and, hopefully, salvation. However, the Hunter becomes the hunted and by far more than one enemy.

This book has romance, passion, shape-shifters, a plot that carries you along with it and, of course, the good v evil guys. The narrator did a great job of the many accents needed.

If you love the vampire romance genre then you won't be disappointed and me, well I'll be waiting for Book 2!

A Vampiric Awakening

What did you love best about Dark Awakening?

The book takes you into a class driven race of vampires. A social structure of the medieval times. It's this class system of vampires that draws into the story. But the opening scene does grab you up from the beginning.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Dark Awakening?

Lilly standing up for and trying to save him.

Which character – as performed by Peter Bradbury – was your favorite?

Lilly I enjoyed her strength, despite it all.

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

Remembering that this a romantic paranormal romance, enjoyed the way Ty and Lilly come together. Although it seemed to take a Ty a little longer.

Any additional comments?

If you are looking for a little something different check out this book. I think it is worth a credit

I wish the next one was here

Peter Bradbury did a great job with the narration. Loved the way he sounded.

The Male narration was really good with a lot of different accents. His voice you can get lost in. The story was different and kept me interested easily. I feel this is a Great read or Listen to story. I didn't want it to end and felt the story could keep going easily.
