*review of audiobook*

Well I have really mixed feelings about this book.


His fantastic Scottish accent caused this:





The way the narrator did the woman's voice made me:





The sex made me think:






But overall I really did enjoy it. It was a different experience, that's for sure XD





The universe in the series


It has them all. Vampires, werewolves, demons, valkyries, shape-shifters, wraiths, witches and probably every paranormal creature ever mentioned somewhere.
I kind alike it :)
It's more focused on vampires, werewolves and valkyries, and not everything is explained yet, but I'm looking forward to finding out more about everything in the following books :)




The story

After being imprisoned and tortured for decades, Lachlain finally finds what he needs in order to escape.
His mate.
Emma is very gentle and fragile, definitely not someone he expected to be his forever, and especially when he finds out she is a vampire, his mortal enemy.
He plans his revenge against the people who imprisoned him, and the best way to accomplish that is through Emma...


This was a great intro into the series, not too overwhelming with information, and yet everything was explained that needed to be.
The beginning was very shocking, well at least to me because I started it without knowing a single fact about this, expect that it had vampires.
I actually thought HE was a vampire, so imagine my shock when I found out he wasn't :DDD
The ending was a bit eye-rolling, with the bad guy and so on, but oh well, could've been worse so I'm not complaining :)
But I want an epilogue or something :(
it ended too abruptly for my taste :((((((




Emma




She is shy, innocent, fragile little half vampire/half valkyrie.
So being kidnapped and treated roughly by Lachlain is not something she is good at handling.
She kinda got on my nerves in the beginning, with being so fragile and all, but as it went on, her personality changed as well and she grew on me :)
The big revelation in the end was a huge DUH! and totally not a shock XD




Lachlain




I love him <3
His Scottish accent <3
His uber-possessiveness <3
I even loved when he was an uber-jerk to her <3
He wants revenge against the vampires and figures Emma will be the best way to help him with that. Of course, when he gets to know her better, he realises he has to keep her as his own :D eheheheheheheh
I don't want to make this an uber-swoon-fest about him, but basically I loved the hell out of him and everything he did here :)))





The sex




This is the part that really, but really surprised me while listening.
Maybe it was the combo of the narrator doing freaky voices, for one creeping me out when he did him, and for two making me laugh like crazy when he did her.
BUT!

The first sex...

(view spoiler)[was during a full moon when the beast took over him and he f*cked her in half-beast form for the entire night. (hide spoiler)]




It was a total mood-killer for me, I didn't enjoy it at all :(
It actually made me drop a star because gah, I just hated it :D

Maybe because this is such a normal PNR, I just didn't expect it, but I'm thinking in situations like these it goes to the category of MONSTER-SEX!!!!!!!

Oh well.




Overall

3,5-4 stars for this one.
It kept my attention throughout the audio, I didn't want to stop listening even though it was funny at places it wasn't supposed to be, I didn't find it hot where I was supposed to, but the fact that I enjoyed the whole audio even with all of the things that bothered me says something.
I honestly have no idea how I would've liked this if I've read it.
For one, I could'be get his perfect Scottish accent <3<3<3
The shock value was huge because of listening to it.
But then the sex probably wouldn't be so creepy if not for the voices he did for the guy.
And I wouldn't laugh like a lunatic at everything the woman said.
Well, whatever :D


I just know I'm DEFINITELY continuing with the series and keeping my fingers crossed there won't be anymore monster-sex scenes XDXDXDXDXD


PS: And for all monster-sex lovers, give this a try ehehehehhehhehehheheh
