Before Midnight

By: Jennifer Blackstream

Narrated by: Matt Addis

Cursed. Kissed. Bitten.

The prince is throwing a ball. But he's not looking for a princess. He's looking for a werewolf. Start this USA Today best-selling series now and see if the prince gets a kiss...or a bite.

An alpha wolf fighting a powerful curse.

The werewolf prince Etienne is turning into a human. A fierce and loyal pack, Etienne and his family have protected their kingdom with tooth and claw - literally - for hundreds of years. Unfortunately, the spell of a well-meaning witch is slowly stealing the beast from inside him. Only the bite of a cursed werewolf - one who was not born with the beast inside - can save him from losing everything. He has no time for anything that will not lead him to a cure for the curse. Not even the beautiful maiden whose gentle nature soothes his soul even as she tempts him into primal pursuits of an entirely different nature.

Love this soooo much

Jennifer Blackstream twists tales wonderfully. Matt addis does an amazing job bringing such real feeling characters to life. If you like paranormal fantasy this is the book for you. Definitely worth a listen or two.

Cinderella?

A different twist on the same old story. I wish someone had warned me it was a Cinderella story. I won't have bought it.

What big teeth you have my prince

Would you listen to Before Midnight again? Why?

Yes, it's a great story and the narrator has excellent tone and pitch and voices the characters perfectly

What does Matt Addis bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Hearing the characters flushed out adds tone and depth to the characters

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I cried, Jennifer Blackstream knows how to masterfully tell a story that tugs the heart strings

Any additional comments?

The werewolf prince Etienne is cursed by a well meaning fairy. With the coming of each full moon he is becoming more human and less wolf. He needs to find a cure to stop him. As a prince of the kingdom

Loupe is a girl enslaved by her evil stepmother and step sisters. The stepfamily likes to hunt wolves and force Loupe to skin them.

A chance meeting between the two starts then on a path to hopefully find there happily ever after

Lust, romance, werewolfs and adventure

Jennifer blackstream has done it. I am so glad I stumbled upon it. A must read for anyone who loves a naughty twist this is a great read

Took A minute

I was given this book via audiobook boom. It took me a while to get into the story. The beginning had so many details to sift through to find the true story but after a while, it came through. The narrator kept me listening because he put so many emotions into the story. If not for that I would not have made it through. This time the prince really needs Cinderella for more than just love and rescue. He needs her for saving his true nature. Loved this premise and the happily ever after as well.

Wonderful story

The author has a creative unusual imagination. Great take on an old fairytale made for grownups. I can’t wait to read the other books in the series. You have to read these books in order to fit nicely in the books place. Great narration.

Cinderella Wolf Style

Great start to the Blood Prince Series. This paranormal romance is a delightful twist to one of the classic fairytales everyone knows and loves. The first book is based on Cinderella. There is also a background story that will probably tie all the books together. Someone seems to be manipulating things so princes find their mates.

Narration was very well done bringing the story to life and keeping you interested and wanting more.

I found Loupe's situation worse than poor Cinderella! Her stepmother is ruthless!

Etienne is a cursed wolf looking for a way to reverse the curse and get back to his old self.

If you enjoy paranormal and mythological tales you will enjoy this new twist on fairytales. I enjoyed listening to this audiobook and I am looking forward to the next book in this series.

Amazing!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Not only is the story amazing but the voice made me a very happy camper.

Great Story

This was an excellent narration of the the first book in the Blood Prince series. For those who haven't read the series, each book is a retelling of a classic fairytale, with a paranormal twist and a sprinkle of mythology to bind the books together. Book one is based on Cinderella.
Matt Addis did an amazing job narrating the story. His varying tones and inflection left little doubt to which character he was representing.
I truly enjoyed listening to this audio , and have no problem recommending it to those who enjoy this genre.

Cinderella with a healthy dose of shifters

What did you like best about this story?

It's like listening to an old favorite but with a really interesting new element. What would Cinderella look like in a world with born and bitten werewolves? Well, listen to this book to find out.

What about Matt Addis’s performance did you like?

He has a great voice and all his character voices worked. It was easy to tell who was speaking and the gender always came across easily.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, in fact I just missed out on about 3 hours of sleep because I couldn't stop listening. Feeling tired right now, but it was worth it!

Any additional comments?

This was not what I was expecting. It was better than what I expected.

There were clear elements of the Cinderella fairytale but there were also new and unique elements and it's formed a good start to a series of books. I look forward to the next one.
