Publisher's Summary

For the first time ever, get all four books of The Forsaken Saga in one complete box set. Join Nora and Hunter as they go on a magical journey of love and adventure in a beautiful supernatural world!

Nora Colburn was perfectly content in life. A junior in high school, she had good friends, a great family, and did well in school. Nothing particularly exciting ever happened where she lived, and everything was stable.

But that all drastically changes when a new student arrives at Nora's school. Wild rumors swirl about his past, and Nora becomes determined to find out the truth.

As she gets to know the mysterious student, he shares with her an ancient secret... one that may yet put both of them in grave danger.

And for the first time in her life, Nora is exposed to a completely unfamiliar world. She is swept away on an exhilarating journey that takes her to a place where romance and great destiny may yet await... and where supernatural powers run wild.

Very immature even for YA

I’m not even finished with this book and I purchased it not expecting a whole lot but this was written so immaturely! It’s like the actions of the main character are so far from what a normal 17 year old would do. Also she is written like how a little girl would act. I’m disappointed so far in this book. I bought this for a easy listen in the background while I do other things but I became so annoyed by the narrator I had to eventually turn it off before I finished. I’m a huge fan of paranormal/urban fantasy/ romance and YA and that’s all I listen to, this was the first book I’ve stopped listening to before it finished. Just a warning for anyone looking for another good YA/paranormal romance THIS IS WRITTEN FOR 6ths graders not actual 18 year olds.

Left with wish for more detailed ending

I'm not going to do a full review as I do not have time to do so. My attention was caught in book one, book two started to lose my attention some with a huge descent going onward. I always try to force myself to read/listen to entirety of books because often you lose interest only to later be captured and sometimes more so than before. This was the case only slightly at times and for brief periods. I kept waiting to get dragged back into it but that never came. I was dreading the time to finish it and often fell asleep having had 2+ hours gone by then having to try to find where I left off. The ending was very disappointing for me. I had a hard time going from a major part of this book the the extremely brief ending. There should have at least been a short portion speaking about how she learned the ropes of taking over and how she became close to her mother and speaking of parents last we heard was Raphael ran off, where did he end up? He didn't abandon his daughter out of hate or having not loved her. Too many questions were left at the end of this book. I did not like it at all, it actually made me mad.. I did not feel closure at the end. The narrator did well, it was the story itself

startes book one...bored im the very first chapter

Really a highschool girl im a non sunny city. let me me guess...vampire comming into town. Please Ann Rice come back! No one knows how to make the vampire tail uniqie. save your cash i regret the buy...Twilight was done and done well. just horrible, even with good narrators.

Save your credits!

This book is like bad fan fiction of Twilight.

I love YA books but this one was written, as another reviewer wrote, “immaturely”. The vocabulary was very basic. The plot was generic. The narration was weak.

Actually, the narrators voice ended up being the straw that broke the camels back. I returned the book. I couldn’t finish it.

Great Series!!!

I loved all of the books in this 4 book series. The love, family, inspiration it just all came together well.

amazing

absolutely love this series the narration was also amazing cannot wait to pick up the next in the series

really bad book

a really bad mix among Twilight and Fallen, cannot believe i lost all this time.

Needs a new narrator

The story is actually pretty good, a little predictable at time but still good. The narrator on the other hand is terrible.

not worth it for me

I didn't end up liking this one, I think maybe it was the reader's voice or maybe the story line.

Overuse of adjectives, poor plot, failed storyline

I had so much hope for this story. It was such a unique approach to the Vampire concept. The complete overuse of verbose adjective use to covey a concept was grating to the ears and could not get past it.

The lack of transitions for the time lines, thin plot and unsatisfying conclusion to the story as a whole leaves me empty wishing I had taken a pass to this story.

Authors could use a single thesaurus and then conduct a book burning of their library of adjective choices that end in LY. Truly maddeningly gratingly waste of potentially and usefully better used time...

Take a pass on this one. Maybe their future book mature a bit. Congrats to them for being published and their imagination.

12year old

Totally rubbish. Think it’s written for 12year olds. Story is completely pointless. Save your credits buy another book

ridiculously anti-climactic story

you keep listening expecting some sort of a build up but no. its same old story throughout the whole book with a girl wallowing in self pity through it all... youd expect some sort of a twist... oh yea.. there is one at the end but its so cliche and meaningless that it seems as if it was thrown in as an after-thought.

Had so much promise

Complete waste of time the authors used the first 3 books to paint a very detailed vision then completely through out everything in the last few chapters. The last book was a huge letdown to an otherwise intriguing story. I would compare it to how I met your mother if I'd watched the last episode of that show I never would have bothered watching it at all.

Was expecting more

DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY OR CREDIT Complete waste of time the authors used the first 3 books to paint a very detailed vision then completely through out everything in the last few chapters.
Was expecting more to be so let down over 20hrs of listening ill never get back

Not really sure where to start

So this will be my first ever audible review, I’m finding it hard to grasp the correct words for these books. To start the story line did have promise and with a bit of work could create a great series but the narration was terrible and Nora was terribly written. I don’t know how many times I sat back and sighed at her responses. Hunter might do something completely despicable and she’s like oh cool I still love you, it’s not a big deal. Or Hunter ruins her life after she’s known him two minutes and she’s like ooo I’ll run away with you let’s go. This really ruined the series for me, I’m pretty sure you could stab Nora 1000 times and she’ll completely accept you fell and did it by accident *sigh*

.

Really enjoyed, didn't want to put it down. Would like to read others from this author.

Poor

Poor story line with elements of mild interest. Lacking performance leaving you wanting more and zoning out regularly. No emotion shown in the reading and slightly irritating main character.

twisty book

enjoyed the saga and interesting twists hope to find the next good set to read

Emotion and feelings failing

Reader needs to add emotion to the story.

She reads books four extremely well, expressing the feelings of Nora. It's a shame that she didn't manage to get them cross in books 1-3.

Struggling to complete the box set.

Very enjoyable.

This had a good story arc and was a very good listen. I would reccomend this
