Loup Garou

De: Mandy M. Roth

Narrado por: Rachel Vivette

Lindsay Willows craves a simple life. One where she can make a difference without drawing too much attention to herself. As the daughter of both a vampire and a fay, the cards were already stacked against her. Finding out she's the supposed mate of a dark fay prince doesn't help matters - especially when there are those who will stop at nothing to prevent her from mating with a prince she's never even met.

When Exavier Kedmen, the incredibly sexy front man for a world-famous band, shows up wanting her to go back to a field she left three years ago, she can't explain the strong feelings that surface for a man she barely knows. Lindsay finds herself confronting demons from her past, coming to terms with the ones in the present and finally looking forward to a future with the man she was created for. And she discovers evil doesn't care who it hurts to obtain its goals but even the evilest of things fear something, or in the case of Exavier, someone.

Mediocre read

I've read/ listened to much better and unfortunately much worse. Story was decent, pace was good, narration could have been better. Narrator sounded as if she was trying be sexy and had just left a class on proper diction. I found her just plain annoying.

It was okay.

First book I've read from this author. The story overall was interesting, but I had a few issues with the couple. It was annoying that Lindsay couldn't put two and two together until later in the book about who Xavier was to her. It was annoying that she didn't let Xavier get a word in to explain anything and then yells at him for lying to her. And the situation with Ian was just weird. I like the narrator though.

Childhood crushes and adult loves.

Would you listen to Loup Garou again? Why?

Would and will. I have read the story, and now listened to it. I love this story of strong, interesting and funny characters, loyalty and plot twists that just keep coming.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Lindsay, but all the girls just say it like it is. She has been through so much but still does her thing with a tough outside and mushy inside.

Have you listened to any of Rachel Vivette’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No.

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

There were so many. In this book the author could have ended it sooner without giving us the full story and it would have still been great. But her characters had to tell their full story. Two especially, when we learned why she is so involved with the center, and when she Eion saw each other and had their scene. Very emotional.

Any additional comments?

Mandy Roth is an exceptional author and anything she writes is a keeper. This book has everything and anything a read could want. There is plenty of steam, plenty of action, sass and characters you cheer for and won't forget. Hopefully some of them will get their own stories.

Good but not for everyone.

As much as I liked this book, it also irritated me. This book is fun, brassy and full of sexual tension. There are tons of one liners in this book, so much to the point it was almost over the top. The author tried to make the heroine come off as worldly, but yet be so clueless to obvious detail that it had me rolling my eyes in disbelief. I didn't like how the story jumped from one place to the next without explanation, that it seemed like the audio skipped. Also some of the direction of the plot was not enjoyable for me, such as the way there lives turned out from lies and from the jealousy during parts. The story does end up coming full circle for a happy ever after, which made me happy. I hated that it never explained why Xavier's mother keep things from him. Altogether this was a fast past romance with lots of action. I would probably read more books by this author. Narrator was good.

a must listen

i had this on my ipod a few weeks before i listened to it i had read the ebook version and i was a bit worried about how it would play out on audio, and im happy to say i was brilliant once i started listening i had to keep on, i would highly recommend it!
