I had to let the series go here

I listened to the first book, but I had to eventually let the series go. I found that the plot was advanced mostly by monologue thinly veiled as conversation. A given character would basically just tell the story instead of having it conveyed through plot, setting, and characterization. There were also way too many facts that were just thrown in at completely random times with no back story. Just randomly a character would say to another one, "Oh no one knew this, but this world works entirely different than previously thought, it works in this other way that has very little relevance and no back story."

There are also a bunch of sex scene's that are superfluous. I don't mind a little spice to my fantasy fiction, but this was more like the pizza delivery guy showed up half naked every other scene.

A lot of people seem to like it, but not for me.

What happen !?! ... chasing your tail !

Book one had some great potential... Yes, it was a mash-up of a Romance Novel & Underworld but still

I have whiplash from all the backtracking that was done in this pointless book. It’s pretty sad when a single sentence during a conversation at the start of this boom could have solved this “mystery”.

The writing is transparent... I was willing to give the first book a pass but not a second and not one with so so so little substances.

This was a free book via Audible plus, I’m so glad I didn’t spend a credit. Author need to stop listening to the publishing company’s and allowing them to split their single book into multiple, it make for horrible 2nd books. Instead of luring us in for more, it scatters up to the winds

Childish

I don't know how the narrator does not laugh during the sex scenes. They seem to be writen by a 14 year old boy who watches too much porn. They are quite silly, and boring to listen to. They take up a lot of time. I knew it had sex scenes, I listened to the first book. I was hoping he would have gotten better at writing them.

Really half a story?

is this the norm now? Take a story and split it randomly to make however many books to increase profits and ignore reader satisfaction? Certainly makes me want to stick to classics and avoid new authors and "series". I will not be continuing on. Your bait did not hook.

Personally I love it

Just gets better, picking up where the first book left off. Very well done .

Another fun ride

another fun part of this story definitely leaves the listener wanting to hear the next chapter

Not what I expected

This is definitely not the normal vampire story I expected. It was better and this man's voice is amazing, well at least for me. I have a voice fetish , listening to the story was great.

amazing

I know this isn't everyone's cup of tea, but it's amazing. the narrator is incredible. Definitely my top 3 narrators. yes there's sex, yes there's monologuing. it's amazing though.

More of the same

More of the same sex adventure more sex oh well at one minute he takes on 20 some enemies and wins the next takes on 1 and barely wins still fun

Sex

If it wasn't for all the sex it would be a very good book Oh well I might get the third one

Addictive Fantasy

These books are sooo addictive. You know it’s basically a fantasy book where the hero beds all the beautiful, strong, powerful women and they are just vulnerable to his charms. It’s all very graphic too. I’d say more detail at times in the love making than describing the story.

I honestly can’t get enough of them though. Excellent and can’t wait to download the next one. 5 stars for me

You know it’s written by a guy

When do you know that fantasy book is written by a guy, when protagonist is have it foursome and the having one on one with all three women, and those women are friends and are totally ok with it 😂😂😂😂

Never mind all that tho, the story is quite good and I did enjoy it

The book equivalent of 6 people sitting at a table

This would make the most boring movie and its even worse as a book.

Two people speaking exposition at each other is not a gripping yarn

Really great story

Voiced, told and delivered very well. I really enjoyed this book as I like fantasy with depth.

Great book

Wow what a book if you liked the first book you will love this one cant wait for the next book
