Sanctuary

Seeking Asylum Book 1

De: SM Olivier

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

I was once an average college student with dreams of the Olympics. A better future had been within my grasp. I was weeks away from graduating from college, and I had just received my invitation to the National Team. Sure, I was still nursing a broken heart and coming to terms with the betrayal delivered to me at the hands of people I once trusted and loved dearly. However, things were finally looking up. Or so I thought. The news began to report disturbing stories about a new virus. This virus was turning people. The infected became violent and attacking anybody and everybody. My plans for a relaxing weekend with my friends and family turned into a nightmare. We were told to evacuate to Sanctuary. On our journey to safety, I run into old friends and find myself becoming attracted to them and their friends. I realized that even in the most harrowing of times, I could find solace and affection. This may be a whole new world and life wasn’t going to return to normal anytime soon, if ever, but at least I had five men at my side to face it with. *** Sanctuary is a contemporary, post-apocalyptic reverse harem, why choose series. This book contains some triggering content that may be sensitive to some readers. ***

great story. can't stand AI

I love this series, and if read it more than once. I couldn't wait for it to be on audible. im Disappointed by the use of virtual voice. The virtual voice is pleasant enough to listen to but doesn't "understand" what its reading. For example, the dash symbol is read as "minus" and when the character's name of Avery is shortened to Ave it's read as "Avenue". There also very little emotional inflection in the voice and no changes in voice between characters.

AI narration bad!

I wish I had known it was AI narration before I bought all the audiobooks! Any time there was a dash “-“ anywhere in the book (and there are A LOT) the AI read “minus” which totally threw me out of the story.

good story narration boring

the voice is so boring makes hard to listen to So even toned had to rewind lots cuz I zoned out.

Excellent Story

Though people may complain it's an AI read book and there are a few mistakes the amazing story more then makes up for it. The missing 5th star is for the error in AI reading and the over abundance of children in the Apocalypse.

Great story

I have read the book and wanted to revisit it on audible. I didn’t hate the ai voice. The “dash”. Was annoying. It’s better than having siri read it to me. Anyway I love this story.

Favorite series

My only complaint is I wish it was an actual voice actor and not virtual. I’ve reread this series over 5 times and can’t wait for bk 5!

outstanding

This is a book I didn't know I needed until I read it. I came across this when it first released and I've read atleast 5 times a year and I think I've listened to the audio 4 times this year alone. I got my husband hooked on this series too. we both love the setting amd circumstances in which it is set. This is a series which you could easily see happening. You will fall in love with Avery and her family. So glad that I found this series.

This book was so good

This book and storyline was amazing. I just don’t appreciate the AI and I did have some problems during Kindle. But all in all, I love the story I loved the FMC I do feel like the MMCs and her relationships need to go more in depth. Hopefully that starts in book 2. I would like to see a lot more action. I love the angst these books can possibly bring. I think this book can do great if it wasn’t AI.

AI needs a lot of tweaking

This just the tip of this iceberg. In some ways, it’s fairly predictable, but overall fast moving plot with a lot of pieces, complex backstory. There’s a multitude of characters, at times it’s hard to keep track of them all. RH is loosely set but not truly developed.
AI seems to be an unavoidable experiment but it can be very distracting, this author has a style consisting of - / ( ) which confuses AI, tone and annunciations establish a rhythm not found in AI. On the flip side it enables a person access to something they wouldn’t otherwise have

AI Narrator is horrible

Loved the story but the AI narrator was horrible. AI keep repeating the word minus throughout the story randomly. All characters had the same voice, there were no the ne changes like with real people. would have been so much better with real people narrating
