Draven's Afterlife

King of Kings, Book 1

By: Stephanie Hudson

Narrated by: Russell Bentley

Length: 14 hrs and 55 mins

Publisher's Summary

Afterlife, just a place for an unhappy king to call home or soon to become a beacon of hope when a new waitress falls at his feet? 

The Gothic nightclub is about to welcome a new guest, and this time it is one he can’t control. As for Dominic Draven, the king of all supernatural life, handling just one little mortal named Keira should be no problem for him…right?

Wrong!

As she is his chosen one, she is not meant to be ruled by a domineering, overbearing, arrogant boss who is determined to keep her at arm’s length. But instead, she is meant to achieve the impossible and crack the hard shell of an immortal king that is only now learning what it truly means to fall in love. 

This is the story of Afterlife, only from the eyes of its king. As you will finally follow Keira’s journey all over again, only through Dominic Draven’s point of view, giving it a whole new and exciting twist on the start of this epic saga.

I loved hearing Draven's POV

Well I love Stephanie Hudson and everything to do with the Afterlife Sage, so hearing Draven's side of the story was a no brainer... the problem with this is the narration. His bass in his voice is appealing, but he reads the story in a dreary tone with little inflection. Maybe he is newer to the industry and still need time to work on his craft.

Luckily for me I've learned to adapt my perception when listening to different narrators, so I got past the reader and enjoyed the story.

great story, not great narration

As always I love Stephanie Hudson's stories. However after having Draven built up in the Afterlife Saga, hearing the voice portrayed in this work was a complete let down. Russell Bentley might be fine narrating other stories however he does not have the deep brody authoritative sexy voice that I had built up in my mind. It's a little weird now to picture Draven's character with his voice. I have not at this point finished the story, however I know I will since I have to complete all her books, but it is difficult so far and I'm only on chapter 5. Also the Vincent character sounds like a whiny teenager versus the sultry character he is also supposed to portray. I wish they would audition people for these types of stories, and at least let the author has a say. I doubt this is the person she would have picked to read for Drazen.

Not near as good as the original story

First the narrator was flat, Then they tended to skip some good parts. This was to be about the Kings view but did not get deep enough. Love the Afterlife books, this one was disappointing.

Great start

Steph, this book was a good piece of work,but thier was know pay off. too much sexual tension without pay off. we learn nothing off the main antagonist. maybe it will come together in book two.

Dravens POV is excellent..

Great hearing Dravens POV on the story..really looking forward for the next one.
Only downfall is the narrator used is not suitable, but you can get past it.
Not Author's choice of narrator but publishing companies...

slow, slow, slow, slow, slow

Could not get into this at all. Ten chapters in and still nothing has happened
