I like the story but the narration...

I always read the stories before the audio so my rating,is really for the audio. Overall, I liked Wascher's narration. She did a pretty good job with most of the characters and the reading but Cade's voice was...well...too manly that it sounded like a man the entire time. I just didn't fit what the character should have sounded. I mean Dante was the alpha wolf and sounded completely female. I don't know, that threw the entire narration off. So Son some of the dialogue delivery between Cade and Lena seemed off and a bit cheesy.
If you liked the story then you will find the narration acceptable. Not the best but way better than some of the others.

great story in spite of the reader

reader was sub-par but the story was good, two of m favorite topics in the same book!

Enjoyable.

Formulaic as far as romances go, but with steady momentum and a constant, enjoyable theme centered surprisingly on the importance of family.

Also... The fluidity of gender in the context of the werewolves is something I found particularly enjoyable.

Good story lackluster narrator

I don’t write many of these. But the reviews of the narrator are warranted. The narration is fairly unskilled and lacked experience on this type of work. Other works might go well but not a romance. Gave off more of the feel of an unskilled speaker who was telling a story they heard or read of someone else then true narration. It is tolerable because the story is so good and the narration is lucky to fall into a type that with the right mindset can be acceptable but I had to consider if I wanted to keep this one. I decided to in spite of the narration. The story saved the narrator though it did barely.

Not great

This book just wasn't great. It has good part s, the narration was decent at best. The character development is eh. This book had potential, it could 've been a contender!

😄😄

I enjoyed this book and how the characters interact with each other and background stories.

A Howling Good Time

This was a whole boat load of fluff and hilarious angst that had me laughing and fanning myself the whole listen. There was a very quick build up of the relationship, plenty of wolf lore and cute gayness. A nice light read to satisfy your need for lovey and smoldery goodness. I wish they had tied up the story a little more, but I do know it's a series so I have resigned myself to the fact that I have to continue on with this new world (oh nooooo lol).

The narrator was like caffeine to my ears. She breathed life into the characters, and tried to give them each their own voice. She was consistent with those as well. I admit I wasn't crazy about some of her choices, but I could always tell who was talking. Usually narrators were more...toned down? when they read, so hearing someone with a lot of pep in her voice was a pleasant surprise. It seemed to hype up the story too, and I liked the way she tried to convey the feelings of the scenes sincerely.

example of how a narrator can damage a story

The story line in itself is good. the narratation though isnhard to listen to. It changed it from a nice romance story to sounded like a dubbed anime cartoon.

Amazing story!

I could listen to this book a billion times and never get bored. The connection, want. and desire is well portrayed throughout the novel.

Horrible narrator

I honestly didn't know what to rate the story because I couldn't get more than 30 minutes through it because the narrator was so annoying. Maybe I'll buy the kindle version.
