The Beast King Brides, Book 1

De: Charlene Hartnady

Narrado por: Tristan James, Meg Price

Thane

I’ve been told I’m beautiful to look at, but I’m a monster all the same. Barely contained. Terrifying now that the thirst is upon me.

I’m a beast king, and that comes with its pros and cons.

Big con: I have to take a bride. It’s built into my DNA. We all reach a point where the drive kicks in.

I thought I still had time. I was wrong. I need to find her. The one.

A vampiress whose blood will quench me. The hunt is on. If I don’t find her soon, I’ll be put down like a rabid dog, leaving my throne to my greatest enemy: my rival by blood. And that can’t happen.

Bellicent

What happens in the dark stays in the dark…or so I thought.

I’m a half-blood. More human than vampire. A weakling. A circus trick only good for being used and abused.

When the vampire king shows interest in me, I tell him where to get off…then I spend the night with him. Don’t judge me! Who wouldn’t leap at the opportunity? He’s the most eligible bachelor on the planet and is known to be picky about who he spends time with.

The king also happens to be my family’s greatest rival. It’s a feud that spans centuries. Think of the Capulets and Montagues, only so much worse.

Last night was a moment of weakness; a night I don’t regret! Thane is more of a beast than I ever imagined.

My brother will pop a vein if he ever finds out what I did. He thinks he can run every aspect of my life, but he’s wrong. I will follow the two rules that have been drummed into me since childhood...and those two rules only! To keep the peace, I’d prefer it if Zale never found out about last night. He’d make my life a living hell.

Then, the king shows up on my doorstep again. Everything I’ve ever known to be true starts to unravel. It all gets turned on its head. I’m not sure who my real enemies are anymore...

Thirst is the first book in a series about monsters of all kinds. If you like enemies to lovers, forbidden romance, sassy heroines, and swoon-worthy beast kings who are almost untamable, then this is the series for you.

The story was fun, entertaining and I enjoyed the story
I loved the female narrator but didn’t care for the male, he didn’t sound right for the part and the female narrator’s male voice was better
All in all a great beginning to a series
This is a favorite paranormal author of mine.

I loved the story

I really loved this story. BUT I dislike the male voice actor. He almost sounds like a robot. He almost ruined the book. The female actress is outstanding! I wish she was the only one. I just loved the story so much I pushed through to the end. I don’t think I will listen to the rest of the series, I will read them instead.

Ugh this guy who’s narrating is horrible!!!!!

I absolutely love this story!!! So well written. The actress is amazing! It should’ve just been her. She does a great job with both male and female voices. The actor however??? Lord in heaven he’s horrible. Everytime it’s his time I have to forward it. Which I hate. He sounds so old and pained all the time and robotic. And good god when he does the voice of the female part it’s absolutely horrible. I know amazing drag queens who do a better job. I just hate that his voice ruined it. It’s such a good story!!!! I won’t purchase any books with his voice. I just can’t

Male Narrator Almost Ruins the Story!

This author is very talented. I loved the story. Unfortunately, the male narrator was absolutely the worst! Maybe they'll have a do-over.

Love the Story

I greatly prefer my steam mix with true love and this book delivers. I also love love paranormal words with many different species instead of just vampires or just werewolves. This book provides variety. I like the female narrator’s enthusiasm, but the male narrator sounds like he needs some sinus medicine and almost sounds like his “female” voice is making fun of women by being too pitchy and whiny. I hope that it’s a coincidence. However, I really liked the story and will will continue the series.

Great story narrator not so much

Good story line but I will not be able to listen to the rest of the series because it features the same male narrator ruins the listening experience 😢

Terrible narration

The book might have been great if the male narrator didn't sound like a monotone robot.

Great story

I love the story and the female narrator but I really didn’t like the male narrator. It’s not his voice but the way he reads the story. It’s like listening to old time radio stories were the narrators were really dramatic. I’ve heard him read other books and it’s the same way with those. Just not my style but otherwise I loved the book.

Decent story. Poor male voice.

Ever try getting into a fantasy romance where the female voice is one point and male voice sounds like an American game show host? Ya, way kills it. I wish they would of just had the chick do the whole thing bc her choice of voice for the male characters was good. I seriously hesitate to get the next book when it comes out because they have the same male voice actor.

Storyline was well written

Male performer was annoying but the storyline is well written. looking forward to the remaining books in this series.
