Critic Reviews

" Flight has everything: An amazing plot, totally awesome characters and a sizzling hot romance." (Katie, The Queen of Teen Fiction)

Most Annoying Voice to Marr a Good Story

Would you be willing to try another one of Amy Rubinate’s performances?

No! I'm not sure if she is truly Southern or attempting a Southern accent and failing miserably. Her voice hangs on the end of sentence and almost sounds whiny and nasally. Very irritating - the main character is from New York and I just don't imagine her being very whiny. The men in the book sound whiny with her voice reading as well.

Was Flight worth the listening time?

Sadly, no. I listened to it because I purchased it and wanted to use it, but the whiny, nasally voice was so irritating, it made it very difficult.

Any additional comments?

I try not to say negative things about something that is a part of someones makeup, in this case, Amy Rubinate's voice, but she should not be reading audio books.

Interesting

Where does Flight rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I've heard quite a lot of books here in Audible and I would rank it my tenth favorite book

What was one of the most memorable moments of Flight?

The intensity of their attraction is definitely gets to you

Would you listen to another book narrated by Amy Rubinate?

No, not really her voice has no emotion and affects the story but maybe I'm just spoiled by Amy McFadden

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

No, but it was a really interesting book, it really gives you a new perspective on this type of stories

Any additional comments?

I thought this book didn't really develop the story line very well and the relationship seemed a bit unreal or forced. I really think that this is just a copy of the Hush Hush Series. If you are looking for intense romance, hot boys and really amazing story i strongly recommend it.

great story, not awesome performance

I've read this book multiple times and love it. This is my first time listening, the speech was stilted and many times it sounded like the robot voice on my phone was talking instead. I'd stick to reading this one.

really annoying narrator

the story is good and keeps you intrigued but the narrator is awful. she is very monotone and bland. it sounds like she should be read exotic novels.

Loved the entire series

Shifter romance in a college atmosphere. The main Shifters are birds but other shifters are in the books.

The first 3 books in the series [Flight, Focus & Found] are from Allie's POV & the last one[First & Forever] is from Levi's POV. I thought the last book [First & Forever] would be redundant since it was a recap of the trilogy, however, although it is from Levi's POV it also gives in depth details of what happened behind the scenes that are missed in books 1-3. Books 1-3 have a female narrator as they were from Allie's POV & the last book has a male narrator to go along with Levi's POV. That was an excellent choice & enhanced the books. Both narrators did an excellent job.

I loved the series because it was different from most shifter books. These are YA books so the sex scenes are not as detailed as other books. It was refreshing not to have every kiss, thrust & lick detailed. While the sex scenes are there they are described to leave most of it to the reader's imagination. While I enjoy the sex scenes in books because they are a part of the story many times less detail enhances the books. More plot less sex.

note: I didn't review the books separately because some were purchased from the source.

Very unique

I enjoy the shifter genre and find this unique view point intriguing. Good storyline and interesting narration. Wish book 2 was on audio as well

How can you get past the Narrator?

Would you try another book from Alyssa Rose Ivy and/or Amy Rubinate?

Maybe read the book by Alyssa Rose Ivy, but I don't think I could handle listening to Amy Rubinate. I think I am spoiled by Ellen Archer. Amazing narrator.

What do you think your next listen will be?

Hostage. Kay Hooper..lets hope for a good narrator

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Amy Rubinate?

Ellen Archer!!

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

The story may be good, but I honestly could not get past the sound of the narrators voice. It just grated on my nerves.

omg is all I can say great book<br />

I loved it great book already told all my friends to read and family a lot has all ready sought it

It is really difficult to respect the characters

It was really hard for me to either like or respect Allie (lead female character) or Levi (lead male character). Sure, from the first scene, we are told there is an attraction and a pull toward each other, but Allison steadfastly ignores all her instincts for the entire book. Anyone who has ignored instincts that said another person is lying/deceitful/hiding big secrets can confirm that making it a consistent approach is asking for trouble. Which is exactly what Allie got. By the time she is a lifelong prisoner/partner to her deceiver, I was so angry at both of them, I decided they deserved each other, and not in a good way. I don't know how many books are in the series, and I am unlikely to listen to any others, but I dislike both characters so much, it would take some kind of miracle for me to ever relate to them.

horrible narration

the narrator sounds like a computer is reading the story and it's very hard to listen to

The best book EVER!

this book is thrilling from start to finish I had such fun listening to this book and enjoyed every second!
