The Ravening Series, Book 1

By: Erica Stevens

Narrated by: Gabrielle de Cuir

Length: 8 hrs and 4 mins

Publisher's summary

The world didn't end with a bang, it didn't go out in a ball of fire and fury, nor did it end in ice. But in some strange way, ice was the end - or maybe it was the beginning of something more.

When Bethany finds herself suddenly alone in a world that was alive only moments before, she flees into the streets of her town in search of her family. Panicked by the immobile people surrounding her, she is almost captured by the monsters hunting her until Cade steps in.

Dark and distant, most people at Bethany's school are wary of Cade yet oddly fascinated by him. Bethany and he had been close as children, but it has been years since she's had any real contact with him. As their situation becomes even more perilous, Bethany struggles to come to terms with her past, her terrifying new reality, and her growing love for a boy that is powerful, mysterious, and perhaps even more frightening than the aliens hunting them - aliens that want more than their lives: they want their blood.

only first book on audible =(

Fun take on War of the Worlds. I was engrossed and ready to jump in two book two but there is no audible book two.

Main character was a bit to argumentative for me but not so much that I minded.

Ravenous

Action packed and enjoyable! I noticed that book 2 is not available in audio! They leave you in a cliffhanger ending and then I can't buy the next audio book in the series.

Good story, awful narration

While this book has an interesting premise, the narrator’s voice is off putting and at times incredibly irritating. I have listened to several less than desirable narrators with audible, but have never experienced one that made me want to stop a book altogether. I really struggled to finish the book, and while the story is interesting I don’t think I can push through a sequel if narrated by the same person.

Terrifyingly better than Zombies!

I enjoyed the story line and the horror of what can happen naturally to our existance.

LOVED IT

loved it. can't wait for the next one, witch I'm getting next. thanks for the great story

character voices suck

not a fan of the narrator. I loved the story. Feel like a younger vouce would do more justice to the character, and Brett's voive was terrible

Good Story Line But is Still Lacking

Good story line with the "end of the world aliens" but the author has the two main characters more interested in romance than her getting on with the story. The romantic part just goes on an on in her mind while me the reader is saying come on already get on with the main idea of the story the world is going to hell but all this romantic fantasy is going on in her head. If I wanted so much romance I would be listening to a romance novel.

It was ok.

It was like watching a movie when you’ve missed the first hour. Not enough was explained to keep it engaging. Kade was the only character I cared about and why he felt anything for Bethany is beyond me because her pessimism made her uninteresting. Had I known the book featured a group of teenagers, I wouldn’t have read it since I’m not into young love/teen angst books but I managed to finish it. The narrator was the best thing about the book.

It’s ok

It’s an ok teen book. It felt a bit dragged out and I couldn’t stand how whiny the characters where. Would of been better if the main girl character was a strong one and not a cry baby.

Where

Where are the rest!?!? I love it and I am sad not to see the rest of the series. I don’t have a lot of time to pick up a book and read. I will be waiting for the next book!
