Forbidden: World of Nightwalkers, Book 1

De: Jacquelyn Frank

Narrado por: Xe Sands

The unexpected happens in an instant. On her way to work, secretary Docia Waverley hurtles into a crashing crossroads, and she quickly begins to suspect that things will never be the same. Then, when a tall, blond, muscular stranger intervenes on her behalf, telling her it is his duty to protect her at all cost, what is just a feeling turns to proof positive. That is, as long as Docia's savior doesn't turn out to be a crazed kidnapper....

When Ram finds Docia, he has no doubt that she is his queen. But as this golden warrior sweeps in to protect her, he feels something more than body heat every time they touch. He is overwhelmed by a searing connection that goes deep into the twin souls inside him. A desire rises in him that is forbidden - this woman is his queen, the mate of his king, his leader, his best friend. And yet Docia is so vulnerable and attractive that she awakens a hunger in Ram that is undeniable, a carnal craving he cannot yield to...not without risking the very survival of the Bodywalkers.

Different

The Judge and Jury is still out on this, I really did not care for this new series as much as the others.. If you read " The Host" by Stephanie Meyer's the story is somewhat like that. Except one has to die and agree to share their body with the spirit of the body walker One minute you may be hearing the main character and the next the other personality So basically you have two individuals sharing a body. I may or may not go on to the second book. Read or listen for yourself and see if you like it. The narrator does and excellent job and there is a twist to it, not a bad story,
just different.

Good but kind of weird.

Would you be willing to try another book from Jacquelyn Frank? Why or why not?

If it was a different series. I think it’s a good listen but I thought it was kind of hard to really understand the "blending" or the idea of two different personalities in one body. During certain conversations it was difficult to keep up with remembering who said what! Overall, not bad but I probably won’t continue the series.

fun take on history

I love how it brings the history into this Era. I'm in chapter 7 and already hanging on to every word

Wonderful beginning!

The story is interesting and complex. I really liked it. The characters make you want to hear more of their lives. I will definitely be ordering the next one. I am really looking forward to the next book.

Okay as much as I love Xe Sand's voices and the wonderful way that she narrates, I really do NOT like how she does the voice trembling when she produces some of the voices. For example: Docia screams for her brother, but it sounds like only a whispered tremulous voice. She happens to use this tremulous voice on women and men. First, it is not very masculine and secondly most women do not scream in a light tremulous light voice. Somewhat distracting, but overall a wonderful production.

Nice Start to a Spin off Series

This was a nice start but felt a little incomplete to me. Somehow, I just kept feeling like I missed part of the story. But it was a good tale and I will buy the next one because I definitely want to know more.
