HFN

I don’t like cliffhanger books, but I just figured out I don’t like “happy for now” either.
Cool and twisted story, this really is a series you have to have all. And in order …
The book was good and somewhat interesting, though it felt like it got wrapped up a little too abruptly.
Great narrator, enjoyable performance.

Just Buy This Book!

Look, I am not even into the fantasy/sci-fi genre, but this book is freaking awesome! Hilariously laugh out loud funny, super sexy, and perfectly narrated. Can’t wait for more of this series!

Worth the credit

Really enjoyed the storyline and of course the excellent narration from Joel takes it to another level. Definitely worth the credit, can highly recommend and I am usually not a fan of paranormal.

I love this series

I love visiting this world and all its people. It's so intriguing and well written, it will keep you on the edge of your seat. A modern day human and an 800 year old vampire - hilarity and drama ensues. AND Joel Leslie is a master of accents and innuendo. He grabs the story and takes it into the atmosphere. He is a joy to listen to.

Not to be missed!!!

I’m in love with Louisa Masters and Joel Leslie! I loved the story and definitely laughed out loud many times at Andrews antics! Such a fun story. The series is not to be missed!! Joel Leslie is always a great choice for narration! His use of accents is amazing and I have gone in to Audible just searching for books narrated by him! Thanks you 2 for another fun listen!!

Loved this

Well! That was an interesting predicament! I'm starting to understand magic systems. #LouisaMasters crafted this one with so many possibilities.

Fabulous

I didn't WANT to splash out for the whole series, but it looks like I'm going to because it's just that good.

- 4 to 4.5 stars -

*spoilers*
*update at a later date*
I liked this book. I kind of wish it was a bit longer as it felt a bit rushed in places or used time skips to speed things up. I did find it interesting that in this book, there was two POV, while in book one, there was only Sam's POV. I honestly would have appreciated Gideon's POV for at least one or two chapters in book one. Even a side story of his POV in the timeline would have been nice. I found it pretty funny, but it didn't have me laughing as hard as book 1. There was definitely some second hand embarrassment for a few scenes. And I was honestly a bit shocked that they'd be so open to talking about intimate scenarios and other subjects that wasn't appropriate to be talking about in the working environment. I did enjoy learning more about Andrew, and I think I like him even more in this book. It was nice to learn about why he likes to goof around and I can find that really understandable. I was never bothered at all by his antics, because I could tell that he wouldn't step over the line of being offensive and if he did, he would stop and apologize.

*Narration*
Joel Leslie's narration was fantastic as always. it definitely heightened my enjoyment of this book. Despite having quite a few characters to narrate, he was able to give all of them pretty distinct voices. I also really enjoyed how he narrated Andrew.

I really enjoyed this book!

Noah is so cool. This book is awesome! Andrew is hilarious. It doesn't feel finished though, the ending felt abrupt to me. I do love how this book ends with Noah and Andrew's relationship. That gave me heart eyes.

No one beats Joel Leslie

Well this is a tough one. Usually a book rating is easy for me to place and I rarely need to quantify it with a .5 but for the first time in forever I'm being forced to do so.
Story -3.5
Performance- 5

I'll go with performance first because it really can't be any simpler. Joel Leslie is a book narrating God! The energy and emotions he puts into his performances is just perfect and his delivery of snarky or funny lines is, as always, spot on. Just... maybe don't listen to a sex scene when there's a possibility of others hearing because yeah, that enthusiasm. *cough* Don't ask me why I bring it up. 😳😂


Unfortunately on the story side of things I gotta say I'm not quite as impressed. Don't get me wrong, it's a great story and it had me laughing in places until my stomach hurt. But I've got to be a little harsher than normal because of 2 particular points.

1) I agree with a couple others here who commented that the ending just feels rushed. It really just feels like the author maybe saw the length and said "Oh shoot I gotta stop writing!" or something. I've nothing against HFN's but this one left me feeling completely unsatisfied. Even though we all know it will be an HEA ultimately.

2) My second point is that for the first half of the book Noah just drives me nuts with all his bitching and moaning about the community members around him. I get it, he's been traumatized, barely escaped with his life, everything he knew about himself turned out to be a lie and there's a ton of anger and hurt to work through. But the fact that he has to keep reminding himself not to lash out at people because they did actually save him and truly want him safe and happy just rubs me the wrong way. At least he gets himself under control after a bit.

So in the end, while I enjoyed the story i think it's Joel's performance that saved it for me in the long run. Not sure how I'd have responded if I'd just read the book.
