Wild Knight

Midnight Empire: The Tower, Book 1

By: Annabel Chase

Narrated by: Suzanne Elise Freeman

Length: 6 hrs and 57 mins

Publisher's summary

In a world of darkness where royal vampires are in charge, I spend my days working as a knight in the city formerly known as London. Instead of a lance and a horse, I rely on my trusty axe, Babe, and ride the occasional dragon. Every day, new threats emerge that require a dash of magic and a dollop of attitude.

Good thing I have both.

Naturally, danger comes with the territory. What no one knows is just how dangerous it is for me. If our vampire overlords discover what I am, they’ll execute me on the spot — no questions asked — which is why I avoid them at all costs.

Until now.

If only this one didn’t have a lethal reputation, a princely pedigree, and a quest that leads to more questions than answers. The heat between us doesn’t help matters.

Unfortunately, I can’t refuse a royal command, so I’m stuck until the job is complete.

And even if the job doesn’t kill me, the truth just might.

If you like humor, heart, a kick-butt heroine and an enemies-to-lovers romance, check out Wild Knight, Midnight Empire: The Tower, the first book in a new urban fantasy series.

Great new series!!

I don’t do many reviews, but I don’t want people to skip this gem! It’s a great story with a different type world and lovable characters. Don’t miss it!

Wow!

Really anxious to find out what's next in this world. it's the first book, and as with any fantasy type books, there's a lot of world building that is being done. Even still, there was plenty of action and push and pull in this one. Suzanne Elise Freeman did a fantastic job narrating.

Enjoyable but lagged a bit in the first half

I really liked the heroine. The story lagged a bit in the beginning and seemed to mention things that were to be linked up later, but weren’t. Perhaps they are building for book two. Its worth using a credit to get book two to find out.

Enjoyable short read

I'm really enjoying this series, they are a bit on the short side. I would actually enjoy spending more time in this world

wild knight

the book was fun. enjoyed the story the main character seemed to change accents a bit but still entertaining

A riveting adventure.

Interesting and imaginative world building. As usual with her characters, Annabel Chase creates them with fun, snark and flaws which allow for growth and development in ways not predictable. An amazing start to a new series. So looking forward to the next book.

I thought Id really like this but..

took everything I had to finish it. Im not continuing on its just too much

Terrible narration

I literally couldn’t finish this book. The narrator tried so hard to put on an English accent. It made it unbearable and was so distracting all I kept thinking of is how this made it past an editor or publisher. The story itself could have been good but I can’t pay attention to it because of the terrible British accent the narrator is trying to put on.

Really hard to listen to a fake, overly enunciated accent

I have been lulled to sleep multiple times trying to listen to this book... the speed in which the narrator speaks, and the obviously fake, and horribly done accent are just too much. I ended up changing the narration speed just to not be bored to tears listening to the words roll off her tongue at snails pace while waiting for the story to progress.

Confusing

A strange choice to use an American narrator who can’t do a British accent for a story set in England. It would have made more sense if she didn’t even try to do the accent. The inconsistency was distracting. Aside from that, some of the dialogue was a little juvenile. “I’m thinking of a way to penetrate… your armor.” Sheesh.

It wasn’t terrible, but I probably won’t listen to any more in this series.
