Another case of arrogant wyte people ignoring indigenous wisdom

Revisado: 02-12-25

I really wanted to like this one, especially as a spouse of combat veteran. At first the characters were relatable and I was rooting for them, but the second they started in on the cliche “ignoring all the signs” stuff I couldn’t stand it. They don’t even learn or grow from it. As a native person it actually made me sick to my stomach how dismissive and downright disrespectful the main character was, not developing past that. The author is NOT native by the way.

Cute Omegaverse story with great narration

Revisado: 02-11-25

This is very mild as far as Omegaverse stories go. I loved the narration especially. I didn’t like how it takes place in modern America with very little changes to the world building. Her family is fundamental Christian? Was Jesus an Omega or an alpha? Jimmy Carter is mentioned? Eeehh could use some thought there. Probably won’t continue the series.

Fine Dark Romance

Revisado: 11-15-24

For what it is, it’s fine. The only thing that really annoys me is that the FMC is supposed to be a grown adult in college and all of her fellow college students act like they’re 16 in high school. It feels like the author wanted to write about high schoolers but needed them to be in their 20s to justify the spice.

Excellent narrators

Revisado: 04-30-24

The narration made this story worth it, but I didn’t love the jump into the spicy scenes, there wasn’t much build up there. Also the ending was the betrayal trope, which is not for me. But I enjoyed the general concept and hope the next one fleshes it out more.

Cheap tropes, great performance

Revisado: 04-05-24

The writing really tried to be good, but it was a rollercoaster of quality throughout the book. Once I started rolling my eyes every paragraph I had to give up on it. I will say the narration is great!

Love it, but falls victim to romantasy tropes

Revisado: 11-21-23

I love this series, the story is interesting and the spice is top notch. HOWEVER. I really can’t stand the romantasy tropes that take over these types of books. The main characters are CONSTANTLY fighting and then making up. Like every chapter has at least one “almost break up” scene. The female MC is a stupid child, which I guess makes sense since she’s like 22 or whatever and has been sheltered most of her life. But it gets very annoying after the 50th time her insecurities cause her to do something stupid and then she’s bailed out by Hades. They fight, they have make up s*x, rinse and repeat 200 times. I’m hoping the third one breaks away from this a little.

I laughed out loud

Revisado: 08-14-23

What did I just listen to. This book cracked me up, its definitely bad, but at least it’s funny in audio book form. I think the narration was on point for what it is, so no hate to the voice actors here haha. Honestly I liked the FMC, she was sassy and at least believable. I can’t deal with the worlds greatest hacker slash assassins slash psychopath though. I didn’t finish this.

Heartbreaking with an amazing performance

Revisado: 05-04-23

I cried at the end! The performer is absolutely phenomenal. The story is a slow moving, emotional ghost story about lost souls (living and dead). Creepy but I wouldn’t say terrifying. Written and read just beautifully. It’ll take me a while to get over this one!

Superb narration, annoying protagonist

Revisado: 01-15-22

This is just my personal perspective. Off the bat I will say the story and writing are great. The narration is so good, especially Gemma Whelan, ,Albert one of the best I’ve heard. The only reason I would dock a star is the main character pissed me off haha. Not that we always have to love the main character of a book, she was still well written, she was flawed, and she admits is several times. But I HATE the whole “teen girls are innocent angels and teen boys are evil bad influences and there’s nothing in between” thing. And she constantly pulls it through the book. As a mom of boys it drive me nuts and distracted me from the story several times. But it was otherwise good so I still gave it 5 stars.

Another Preston and Child success

Revisado: 03-15-21

Love the spin-offs from the Pendergast series. A little dated, and I wish the two female characters didn't do the whole "cat-fight" competitive thing so typical by male authors, but otherwise loved the characters. Lots of research clearly went into it as most of their novels. of course Scott Brick's performance was amazing as usual!
