The Trouble with Unicorns

Team Unicorn Talia, Book 1

By: Ava Wixx

Narrated by: Melissa Schwairy

Part-time demon tracker, full-time optimist...

Talia White does what comes naturally to a unicorn: balances the scales between light and dark with hefty doses of love and joy. Faced with a string of high-profile demon possessions, Talia is determined to do her job, despite the fact that she finds herself strapped with a brooding dragon warrior as her new guardian.

That's the trouble with unicorns - they'll accomplish their goals one way or another, even if they have to get a little stabby to do it.

not too bad, better than expected

This was an interesting book. It was kind of funny, the story line was interesting but it was a bit heavy handed on the sex part. That said, I still found that I rather enjoyed the listen. The narrator is pretty good and helped it come alive in my imagination. I'd be open to more in the series.

Peppy unicorn and her dragon protector

Amanda Lyn here again from your favorite romance audiobook review source, Sounds Like Romance.

Don't let the optimism overwhelm you--this paranormal rom-com has great pacing and a cast of characters that round out a fresh approach to the genre.

For me, I wanted to see Talia (our resident unicorn shifter) have a harder time, maybe struggle a little more both inwardly and outwardly. Instead, she was very good at rationalizing each scenario and situation which makes for great reality... and a flat conflict. Bryn was a solid foil to the sparkles and rainbows that practically oozed from our heroine but I never really understood his insta-love for her and the sex scenes, while sexy and well-written, didn't seem to fit well within the flow of the narrative. (This coming from a listener who looooooves her sex scenes, ya'll.)

However! Melissa Schwairy knocks it out of the park with her performance and takes a story (and a main character) I wasn't in love with and made me listen to the very end. She juggled a variety of tones and voices with excellent consistency and approached the narrative with a clear voice that made me need to know how the story wrapped up.

For audiobook lovers looking for PNR with a light tone and the beginning of what looks like a continuing series, this may be just the book for you.

Unicorn Shifter

Talia is a Unicorn shifter Demon Hunter who acts like a prepubescent teen. She has been sheltered and therefore very immature for her age. I enjoyed the overall story line however the over usage of the word a**hat had me cringing - seriously there are so many adjectives there is no reason to use a single word that many times. The narrator does a great job bringing the story and characters to life. I would consider reading more in this series.

Rainbows and sunshine

Story was advancing slowly but storyline was good, then out of no where... SEX, SEX, SEX, SEX... a breeze, SEX, few words.. SEX... its like a fire was ignited and the volcano could not be put out.. just out of nowhere they were doing it.. there in danger.. why not bone.. like what the crap.. about half was just them banging... I think the author had a good story, could have been a sweet story of love.. but wanted filler so they filled it with sex...Demons, fae, unicorns, dragons, and mystery creatures that are uncovered at the end, all had a interesting twist and story...but drowned under constant intercourse..

Fun and quirky listen.

You’ve never met anyone quite like Talia and her group of friends. Plenty of humor, romance, action, and optimism in this fun listen. I loved the narrator, she really captured the character’s personalities, especially Talia’s. I received a free review copy of this audiobook at my request and I have voluntarily left this review.
