A Mortal Queen: Stolen

De: S.P. Woods

Narrado por: Juniper London

Years before this story:

"Keep your chin up," my uncle shouted at me, during another round of teaching me to hunt in the woods. "A bow's not only good for hunting deer, Kylin. Aim for the heart or head and you could down a vampire. Don't hesitate, they won't either."

I gripped my bow tighter. I aimed straight for my practice target. There's no way I'd ever let a vampire near my family again. Not after sleepless nights of comforting my crying cousin.

While I'm grateful the elves do everything they can to protect us, I want to be ready.

A Mortal Queen: Stolen follows the journey of Kylin, a mortal girl who is thrown into the midst of a dangerous, century-long feud between kingdoms of Elves and Vampires.

Once a naive and clumsy daughter of a struggling community, Kylin's life is forever changed one bloody and fateful night that leads her down a path of danger and romance. Due to forces that pull her away from everything she knows, she finds herself torn between her duty to her people and a newfound lust-driven love that she can't deny.

As the stakes rise and secrets are uncovered, Kylin's world is turned upside down. She must navigate a treacherous and uncertain path to find her true place in a world where she has no advantages. With a romance doomed from the beginning, A Mortal Queen is a tale of forbidden love and dark secrets.

more amazing fantasy

do you like werewolves? vampires?witches? elves??? then you need to listen to this or even read it! the narrator did an amazing job but I would've definitely loved a dual narration as well. if you love the paranormal world and fantasy you will enjoy this. it gives twist, mystery, and just a really good packed plot! thankful to of gotten the chance to listen to this!

Excellent through and through

This book has been one of my very favorite reads. I have a soft spot for vampire romance and this one truly delivers! Jennifer London did a beautiful job narrating! I highly recommend this book

Plot twist

It gives touch her and die vibes but also that she doesn’t need to be saved cause she’ll do it herself. The plot twist had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. It had me flipping sides when I didn’t think I would! It was such a good story and well written the audiobook is just as amazing. Vampires, wolves, elves, dragons, and humans and with back story of how they came to be is awesome. I loved this book and how it set up for the second one without leaving you on too big of a cliff.

Vampires and mystical creatures!

I really enjoyed all the different species throughout the book and how the story and their history unfolded over the span of the book. I got strong twilight vibes and I really enjoyed those parts!

Great Debut Novel!!

I listened to the audiobook of stolen and I finished it in a day! I was drawn in from the start . This was a slow burn fantasy romance. Kylin lives in a world of elves and vampires while she is just a mortal . As the story progresses , Kylin begins to realize that not everything is at seems when she is thrown into the middle of a war of kings who all want one thing...her. What makes this mortal so special?
This was a quick easy read for me and I can't wait for the next one!!! I wish the next book was an audiobook as well. The audiobook portrayed the characters well.

narrator did a great job bringing the story to life. I am looking forward to the next book.

Excellent Story Excellent Audio!

I just adore this book! There are some tropes that are typical of the Romantacy genre, such as the overly clumsy female who spends a lot of time asking "why me?" while also being a badass with a bow and arrow but the story is so fun and the insta-love feels realistic! Yes, the MMC thinks she is beautiful in all her curves, but he likes her for who she is as a person and that gets laid out so clearly about halfway through the narrative. He is charming, and playfully arrogant, with just a dash of vulnerability, he checks in while also never shying away from saying what he wants. The spicy scenes are so so so goooood... *Chef's kiss*

There is a lot of interesting world building and lore that is incorporated into the story naturally. The FMC doesn't always know what she is doing, and not every she does becomes a plot point, which makes her feel like a well rounded character, though maybe a bit too naïve. But its the love story is what keeps me coming back, again it feels realistic. S.P. Woods doesn't wrap everything up in "I love you's" and "let's get married" but rather the MMC just wants to spend time with the FMC, just wants to get to know her and that makes me fall in love with them every. single. time!

I had read it a few times before I listened to the audio, so it was difficult for me to hear the male voices from the very feminine sounding narrator but I think that is my hang up more than a reflection on Juniper London's performance. If this could be edited into a duet, I think I would die from excitement. London did a really good job at making all of the characters feel different through her voice. She was smart with changes in pitch, cadence, and diction and I think she did a great job making it feel immersive. Super professional and very well done!

I don't think I can say enough good things about this book without spoilers, so please read or listen!

great performance

If you like vampires, wolves and elves this story is a great one !!
I was captivated from the beginning and it just got better and better! I love it, and the narration was amazing ! I cant wait for the next book

The Story is amazing!

Such a great fantasy tale of Kylin and King Malik. S P Woods has set up such a detailed world and this story has a few twists! It has vampires, werewolves, elves, humans, & dragons! I love the interaction between Malk and Kylin. I also vared for the side characters, especially Emily and Nick!
