No plot, just one bad thing after another

This story is entirely swappable with so many others -- we're introduced to the MC, who is a likeable person/being who has been emotionally damaged and has little self-worth because of it -- so, we're hooked rooting for the underdog MC --- then it's one bad thing after another happening to the MC -- no plot, no overarching anything we're hopefully heading toward, nothing but bad things happening, narrow escapes, more bad things happening, more narrow escapes. Adrenaline, adrenaline, adrenaline. I quit the book after 90 minutes of murderous attacks and narrow escapes, when the author was starting to hint at romance ... a typical way to try to spice up an angst/action book that has no real plot. Having listened to quality urban paranormal with and without romance, but always with an actual plot, this book just doesn't live up to that standard.

Humm, it's ok, okay

I struggled with it a bit. lot of eye rolling. Some wondering attention issues. I like the premise of the story. Sam is not the heroine I would like to see in the story, in the beginning, Sam was pretty weak, pretty clueless. Sam did toughen up towards the end of the book then I started to question the insta love between Sam and Clive. I asked myself why I was still listening but then it is Monday Nite football or the book, so...there's that. To be totally transparent, I did finish it and I bought book 2 sooo..don't listen to me. lol

Great characters and storyline

First book I’ve read/listened to of Seana Kelly’s and I truly enjoyed it. Loved the characters and how the evolve throughout the book and the storyline was great, lots of twists and turns and a complete page turner.

Can recommend this

I purchased this book because it was on sale below the price of one credit. I purchased it before reading the reviews and then when I did read the reviews I was a little worried. But I enjoyed the book. I haven’t read a lot of urban fantasy in a while so perhaps someone might feel that this book is for the urban fantasy novice. But I felt there was enough mystery, enough bad guys, romance, and enough characters to be entertaining. It might not have been a real page turner but it did keep me engaged. The only reason why I gave the story three stars was because there were periods when the trauma scenes were a little long.

Difficult to follow

Disjointed, hard to follow (I tried adjusting speed and that was not successful).

The story line is good and has very good bones.

Pleasantly surprised

This book was recommended to me as I was looking for a respectful relationship between male and female main characters. I enjoy it very much, definitely wasn’t what I was expecting.

Performance deserves 10 stars!

Samantha Desz brought the heroine to life. Her voice reflected all of the facets of Sam Quinn---snarky, sardonic, and vulnerable. Just brilliant.

The story was good, too, though the heroine kept making poor choices that put her in danger. I especially loved the creative world building; I really want to go to the Slaughtered Lamb Bookstore & Bar. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series. More audiobooks, please!!

Good start

It was a good book, easy to listen too. It’s pretty fast paced which is nice. Already downloaded book 2…here we go.
