Narrator’s voice fluctuates wildly.

The narrator has a voice with a wide decibel/shrill range such that I have to continually turn the volume up to hear low voices she is doing or normal narration tone, and quickly lower it when she is doing emphatic words or a female or young person’s strident or fearful voice. Even during an otherwise uneventful stretch of narration, her emphatic words hurt my ears and I am again trying to find a middle ground of understanding the low tones and lowering the volume to protect my ears on the higher tones.

Surprisingly captivating

I couldn’t tell you why this book captivate me but it did. As the two storylines start to blend together the book captures a unique blend of horror, thriller and romance

Surprisingly good

I gave up listening in the first chapters, but then decided to give it another try. I’m glad I did!

Absolutely LOVE Shalini Boland!

I’ve read quite a few books by this amazing author and have never been disappointed! Shalini Boland is INCREDIBLE! She has written books of so many different styles and genres and excels at them all! Some may think, “oh great, more vampire books”….and I say, “YES! Bring them on”!! I highly recommend his book for all of you vampire lovers, as well as those of you who are skeptical. I can’t wait to start the 2nd book!

The story line!!

I was so pleasantly surprised by this book. It was free, so one never knows :-) but the storyline was interesting. The characters were believable. There’s that feeling of twilight, a bit, but only in a good way!
