Get on for a wonderful ride!

„Impulse“ is one of those books that you can't put down once you've started to read it. Once I had finished it I wanted to write my review and got caught in the book again and read it again. And again...

When I found that this book is now available on Audible, I just had to have it! I really love listening to my favorite books when I'm driving or doing household chores or whatever. At least I love it as long as those audio books are well done and the narrators are good.
I had some books that I really loved - till I listened to the audio books.

Soooooo.... I was a bit nervous when I started to listen to "Impulse" because, well, you never really know what to expect. And - I love it! It is really well done the voices are great and I enjoy listening to them and the intonation is also great. It is also easy to understand even if, like me, you are not a native speaker.
The narrators alternate, the female roles, and the story are told by the female narrator, Thurow Holmes and the male parts are read by Zachary Michael. That took a few minutes to get used to as I usually listen to books read by one narrator but then it was absolutely okay.

This book has wonderful, authentic and unique characters that are not only very natural but also incredibly loveable.

The story itself is romantic and just beautiful. Every time I feared that the author would slip into the land of cliché she surprised me with convincing and realistic twists that fit the characters and their personalities perfectly.

The protagonists took my heart by storm. Both are people with whom I'd love to get acquainted. Not just because of their good looks but because I really liked the manner in which they approach other people and because of the way they interact with those around them.

Jillian is a character who is energetic, passionate and honest straight from the bottom of her soul and on top of that she is full of wit and humor, in other words - she's just unbelievably lovable.
Lex did also convince me by his personality. In contrast to many other male protagonists in this genre, he impresses by the fact that he is neither dominant nor self-opinionated at all costs but shows much empathy and a good feeling for the right move not just when it comes to things related to Jillian but in general, with all people.

This was also a part where I was very impressed that the author managed to avoid typical clichés and instead presents us with a natural and healthy but also very passionate relationship with all its ups and downs.

Take those factors, add well characterized, equally unique minor characters and a captivating story and you get a very convincing and beautiful book. Add again some really good narrators and you get an audio book that I can also recommend wholeheartedly!

Grinning like crazy while driving?

Revisado: 02-29-16

Yeah, I guess you just met me driving around while I was listening to one of the books of the Relentless-Series!

I really really love this series and I'm absolutely enthralled by the way the speaker captures the spirit and the mood of the story. From the first sentence on she pulled me in and despite the fact that I've read those books like a gazillion times already and have an idea how everything sould sound and how everything should be I was really impressed because it is exactly told the way I had always imagined it.

After a while I realised that I was either smiling somewhat goofily or grinning like a fool - I really love those witty dialogues! The characters are brilliantly developed and very complex, the story is amazing and imaginative. Sometimes it's just sweet, sometimes it's funny, sometimes it's heart-stopping and even sad.

I love that the girls are pretty bad-ass and I also love that the guys have to learn to respect that even if it's not easy for them. Especially over-protective Nikolas is having a hard time there...

Those of you who haven't read Relentless and Refuge yet - listen to them first otherwises you won't understand everything and you'll miss out on important parts of the story.
Those of you who already know the other books - go ahead, have fun with Rogue, it is brilliant and this audio version is just perfect!

Amazing book!

Revisado: 01-18-16

I've read many books written by Ednah Walters and all other books in this series and I really love how well developed the characters are. With each book they seem to be getting more complex and more intriguing while the style is also getting even more polished and the text even more elaborate than before.

I loved how the story evolves and how Raine and Torin and their friends get closer. As a reader you can feel how they start to trust eachother and learn to rely on the others.
The characters are authentic and convincing, they make mistakes and learn from them, and they learn to face the demons of their past.

Witches is really great, I loved everything about it and couldn't put it down, I was hooked right from the first page on and it still is my favorite book in this series!

Soooo....it really was a little bit of a risk to listen to the audiobook of course because the best book isn't that good anymore if the narrator doesn't fit but... that's definitely not a problem here! I love the narrator and the way she reads the story. It is very expressive and read with feeling without ever getting too sentimental or overdoing it and I also really like her voice and enjoy listening to it. Stephanie Terry is a great choice and I look forward to listening to the other books of the series as well!

*I was given an ARC of this audiobook in exchange for an honste review.*
