Natural Consequences

By: Elliott Kay

Narrated by: Tess Irondale

Length: 22 hrs and 55 mins

Publisher's Summary

The exciting sequel to Good Intentions! Alex Carlisle has enough to deal with even on quiet days. Living with an angel and a succubus is no easy feat. One has divine responsibilities she can't explain, and the other tempts him toward a decadent lifestyle he's not sure he can manage. Add to that the stresses of college and trying to hold down a job, and it's lucky Alex can even keep his head on straight.

Yet the complications keep on coming. An amorous (and terrifying) werewolf won't take no for an answer. Vampires from across the country want to know what happened to their allies in Seattle. To top it all off, events in the city have drawn the attention of federal agents who know far too much about the supernatural, and they have no patience for the chaos that Alex and his friends leave in their wake.

Nice Brain Candy

What made the experience of listening to Natural Consequences the most enjoyable?

Likeable characters. Snarky Angels and Demons.

What three words best describe Tess Irondale’s voice?

While Tess' voice was up to the effort...Please, please, PLEASE have readers review names of people and places for accurate pronunciation. NGUYEN is not pronounced NaGOOyen. Many place names in the northwest are Inuit or other native American tongue in origin. She also mangled several city names. This really had me gnashing my teeth to the point that I put the recording down several times.

Ugggghhhh

Alex the meat-sack is put to sleep, so the true lovers can have Adult talk, while the meat-sack(Alex) is placed in suspension until needed again.
The entire series continues this way...the meat-sack(Alex) is treated better by his lesbian side girlfriends. They want and express the truth to him every chance they get. Lorelei and Rachel hide nearly everything thing from him, but bring him around when they need their special “damsel-in-distress” meat-sack.

In addition, the series now has major preachy overtones about how this wouldn’t hurt anyone...unless they weren’t controlled by a succubus and would actually realize how selfish and unloving both his shitty “girlfriends” are to him.
Alex is nothing but a meat-sack, “damsel-in-distress,” Viking, warrior, Marty Stu of jealousy, that can’t help himself from getting captured every book....haha. I feel so bad for him, his “girlfriends” Lorelei and Rachel that actually do seem to love each other...keep him around more because of the magical bond than because of true care for him.

Great series!

Great book, love the storyline I usually read fiction and found this to be a wonderful combination of sci-fi and fantasy with a great plot! to top it off, definitely one of the best narrators I've had the pleasure of listening to!

Less sex more talking

As with the last book, there was a lot of sex but not nearly as much. There were more heartfelt discussions in the beginning but there was plenty of non sexual action too. I enjoy the characters and the story is well written. I would read another book by this author.

Exactly What I Wanted

What I wanted was Lewdness, hotness, fantasy and fun. Got that and a foul mouth horny Angel. Thank you Elliot Kay.... and Jesus for being a standup dude and allowing a sex demon and a horny angel to fuck like monkies.

2/3rd Very Well Written Urban Fantasy 1/3rd Porn.

First thing you need to know going in that 1/3rd to 1/4 of the run-time of this audio-book is intensively graphic sex scenes.

The rest of the time is spent on a really well written Urban Fantasy story. Seriously? An edited down version of this; a 14 hour cut that removed the erotica, would make this a top entry in the urban fantasy genre.

I don't buy erotica on Audible so I have nothing to compare it to but I'm going to venture that a 7 hour edit of all the erotica would be a top tier entry in that genre.

The two together? I found it distracting,

Elliot Kay is a damn good writer, and Tess Irondale does a phenomenal job with her narration. I look forward to more great content from either/both of them.

Great follow up

Another great story, keeping much to the same style and story as teh first that made it such a treat. Far better than I ever expected. Worth the point.

Not miss it.

If you could sum up Natural Consequences in three words, what would they be?

Sexy, Erotic, Fascinating.

What did you like best about this story?

Very well told. Did not shy away from the sex scenes.

Which scene was your favorite?

Too Many. Rachel cussing!

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

Too Many

Any additional comments?

I haven't seen this in written format but I am willing to bet the character she pronounced as "neguan" spelled "Nguyen" is actually pronounced closer to "Win"

Fun fantasy for "adults,"

Fun fantasy for "adults," demons, angels, and witches with some erotica mixed in for good measure

Best episode out of the 3

As with the other episode, it took me a short while to get used to the voice of Tess Irondale speaking for all characters. After a few minutes though, it is almost naturally easy to listen to. Excellent story-telling voice. The story itself, well, I read the book, before I listened to it, so following the story with it's flashbacks comes easy to me. I find this book the best out of the 3, because of a couple of things; - the relationship between Alex, Lorelei and Rachel deepens and blossoms to full bloom - The action scenes are good (and there's more than just one big one) - The undercover/ betrayal really gets under my skin - The history of Lorelei almost made me weep, such a tragic, sad story Really good story and excellent story-telling!

Entirely engrossing

Most men are more romantic than women give credit, and this series is about ultimate romance and total commitment regardless anything else. It is the discovery and rediscovery of true love, albeit in exciting and stressful situations. Tess’ soft and intimate whispers binds the story and makes it real.

This is the only series of audible books I fully intend to listen to again.

good but not gteat

was'nt as keen on it as the first. i found the swiching to so many characters off-putting. some of thos chapters could be skipped without any impact upon the story and i've found that the vampires and werewolves are severely underdeveloped as races. though more time was spent on then in this book, i found them far to cardboard to care much about their history or impact. alex grew to a new level of awsome though, so i can't say i regret reading this one. all in all it was a bit to convoluted and housed a few too many plot points for me. i may listen to it again but i'd end up skipping to the good parts.
