About this listen
Awaken the power. Unlock your potential. Grow stronger.
Embrace the blood…
Lazarus Cross wakes after centuries of slumber, a single objective burning in his mind: revenge. His newfound thirst for blood is insatiable.
When the woman who awakened him disappears before he can learn his identity or purpose, he must rely on his own strength and cunning to survive.
In a world hungry for power and control, Lazarus must fight for his freedom and prove he is more than what he appears. With each bloody battle, he grows in strength, each victory unlocking new powers inside him.
As he delves deeper into the secrets of his forgotten past, he discovers that he is the first—and now last—of an order of Eldritch Knights. Lazarus must harness the forces of darkness to defeat the demonic entities holding sway over Selunath.
But he can't do it alone.
To do so, he must lure the very creatures who try to control him and use their power to defeat the evil goddess, Sanguiana.
And he must do it without succumbing to the growing darkness within…
Blood Rites is a thrilling men's fantasy series featuring vampires, shifters, succubi, and other monstrous women sure to leave you thirsty for more. Indulge in your darkest desires. Embrace the blood.

Story
Eli Grayson knew there was no such thing as magic. He knew there were no other worlds filled with magical races beyond his imagining. He knew he was a regular guy, just trying to recover from a brutally difficult breakup. That is, until he foiled an assassination attempt on an elven princess who showed him exactly how wrong he was. He's thrust headfirst into a hidden world of potent magic and sinister plots only to discover he has powers of his own.

After having kept my hands to myself for years, It's time to enjoy myself a bit as well with an enemy-turned-ally magician who is as smart as she is beautiful, a bar owner who can equally hold herself in a fight as much as with liquor, and the only other survivor other than myself, a golden-haired healer who's even more damaged than I am. Change looms behind Greystone's colossal walls as guilds vanish, arena fighters wind up dead, and whispers of a great war permeate the streets. My name is Cade, a man driven by vengeance, and I am going to bring it all down!

Story
Growing up on modern day Earth, I had no idea I’d been selected from birth to help a dying race save their population. So when a starship abducts me for a royal wedding with galactic consequences, my only option is to help its crew of beautiful officers complete their mission. The catch? I have to protect my gorgeous bride and new allies from an alluring enemy who wants my immunity to a fertility-killing plague for herself, even if it means I have to take command.

The Revelation: A name given to an event that, five years ago, changed the world forever. In a single day, humanity discovered that not only were they not alone, but they were not exactly at the top of the food chain. Living in the shadows for millennia, supernaturals now had no choice but to finally come into the light. Because of the fury of a mad god, humans and supernaturals now had to learn to coexist side by side for the first time in living memory. With the revelation that magic was not only real but far more common than fairy tales led them to believe, a new society had to be born.

After a bump on the head during their trip through the portal, Molly's taking an unplanned nap of potentially eternal proportions, and Jay has no choice but to carry her through a frosty wilderness that gets weirder by the mile.

Centuries ago, a cabal of powerful mages cast a disastrous spell that corrupted the source of magic, transforming much of the world's population into merciless monsters called Riven.

He has sacrificed everything to save the world from the Riven—his family, his future, even his very soul.

Story
Supervillains are murdering people in the streets, but yet superheroes are more concerned with gaining popularity than bringing the villains to justice. These villains think they are above the law and that nobody can stop them, but they never planned for me. I’ll murder every one of them with my powersuit, traps, and sidekicks. And if killing bad guys makes me a villain in the eyes of the heroes, well...I’ll destroy them too.

I thought I’d left my past behind for good. But when my older brother gets killed in a car accident, I’ve got to come back to take over his car-tuning business. But things are not like I remember. There’s something weird going on in Santo Domingo, something that seems connected to the city’s underground street racing scene. There’s the orange-haired mechanic at the tuning shop with the FOXGRRL license plate. There’s the strange black cat hanging around my house, and the dreams I’ve been having about a racer girl with cat ears and a tail.

One minute, I’m working a boring office job and craving more from life. The next? I’m dropped in the middle of a new world as a dragon with jet-black scales and obsidian flames to match. Luckily, I still have my human form, because the locals weren't happy to see me. Thankfully, one was a sweet fox girl who loves to daydream. Together we hunt to survive, build ourselves a shelter, and fight some dragon slayers—even recruit a cute battle-elf. While living the cozy cabin life and having the occasional battle to the death with the locals, another dragon plagues the kingdom.

Armand, Lich Lord of the Necropolis, is bored. So very... very bored. He's guarded the greatest dungeon in the world against all comers, but the issue is, no one is coming anymore.

Mostly disgusted
At the time I’m writing this review I am disappointed and a bit disgusted by the mc. He makes a stupid promise to not fight his captors to a woman who he just met and abandons him. Then he goes on to watch other captives beat raped and so on. The entire time we get to hear how mad he is but he made a promise and bull shit. This book may get better but atm it’s a let down

Great story with interesting characters
This is more than a harem novel. As a matter of fact, there’s very little harem in it. Well, at least so far. The main character is complicated as he strives to understand where he is and who he is. The supporting cast of characters are just as complex and interesting. The plot of the story weaves itself between adventure, intrigue, and mystery.
The narrators do a fantastic job with all of the voices, making each of them, unique and easy to define. They bring real emotion to the story. I am very excited for the next book in the series

Decent world building but just not enough
Look, just WAY too much exposition.. I guess my tipping point was the hour+ conversation with the baron over finding his wife. A good example would be if someone gave a horse something to eat we don’t need to know the the day, the month, and the year the food was harvested what the weather was like on that day, the type of home that sat on the property, what it was built from, the family name of the man’s grandmother who cut down the tree, and then why he takes a dump every morning after breakfast. If ANY of that info had ANY bearing on the rest of the story that’s one thing but it NEVER DOES. The writing isn’t bad but we don’t need to know the family history of a man who made a candlestick that cross glanced at ONCE. It’s just too much. Honestly I wanted to know what happened but there’s 10 paragraphs for every single observation cross makes and he observes EVERYTHING. I found myself yelling at the phone “come on! We don’t need to know that! Just get to it!” 😂😂 Follow this up with the constant keeping of secrets from the people who are risking life and limb for him causing the frustration to keep building. I won’t even mention the fact that the girls don’t ask a single question..by far one of the most frustrating books I’ve ever come across. This man is supposed to be an ancient king. Powerful and strong lol yeah right. The mc’s whining and hateful attitude near the end just adds to bring the rating down. Just my opinion.

its ok
I tried to like this. I saw it on amazon and waited for it to come to audible. Story is just to goofy. There are several times the mc could have acted but did not. I understand not going full murder hobo, but there were two spots in the story where all his probs could be solved if he took out the bad guy right in front of him. Also the whole give up and let them capture you thing that happens for the whole first half of the book. No way man.
The performance was good. These guys are easy to listen to. Just didn't like the choices the mc made, then complained about it later.
