Lord of Population

Population, Book 1

By: Elizabeth Stephens

Narrated by: Diana Richardson

She thinks she can steal from me, the little human. Adorable.

I can't decide what will be more fun—the hunt or what I will do to her when I catch her. And I will catch her. There is nowhere she can run.

Abel was of perfectly sound body and mind when she looted the Other's corpse. He looked dead. Wait. Did he just smirk up at her? No. Definitely not...

Hiding out in an abandoned townhouse, Abel doesn't expect to hear that same bloodsucking alien come knocking on her door or that, when trouble finds them, he might stand at her back rather than stab her through it.

When he offers to help her cross the ruined world of Population, Abel knows better than to believe him. Because when he looks at her, it's with a hunger that seems to go beyond the taste of her blood, and when he asks for payment, he requires the one thing she can't give up—her trust.

Run all you like, little human. The sword you carry won't be enough to stop me from coming for you. You're mine. Blood. Body. Heart.

Dark and action-packed, Lord of Population is a steamy, end-of-days romance ripe with unexpected twists and epic battles, perfect for fans of JR Ward or Laura Thalassa. It ends with an HEA (no cliffhanger) and features a rebellious human heroine of color and an inhuman hero with fangs. This is a dark romance with medium-high heat levels for mature listeners.

The narrator is top notch

A good narrator buys a lot of forgiveness for the story. The story was good but I no longer find being forgiveness and rationalizing the behaviors of others a virtue. It’s a failing. I wouldn’t have kept listening if I didn’t think the narrator was so special.

Paranormal apocalypse

Well written but not so much sci-fi as some alien invasion stories. Very dystopian post invasion and war and about what it takes to survive.

Forgive and forget

The review on the virtue of forgiveness was too true. If I could change anything it would have been the forgiveness given especially so easily.

great story

so detailed so Beatiful. no spoilers but this is written very well. kept me entertained the entire way. this is hard to do as most books like this have stunted plotlines and cheezy lazy writing. although there were spots of eye rolls, it was very limited. It was also needed to advance the narrative. highly suggest you spend that credit. It is well worth it.

HOOKED❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️

This was the first book I read by Elizabeth Stephens “Lord of Population “ So far all three books in series are excellent. I was Thrilled when “Lord of Population was released in the audio version. Now anxiously waiting for the complete series. The audio book brought it to life.
This is not your typical alien romance. Great world building in this phenomenal dystopian dark romance and this is just the beginning. Abel’s “Rules for the World After’ were tough for her to follow. Kane helped her. Excellent narration❤️
