Blitz

The Storm Dragons' Mate, Book 1

By: M. Sinclair

Narrated by: Brooke Daniels, Brandon Utah

Three dominant dragon alphas seemingly have it all... except the one thing they want: me.

My life hasn't been typical. All I remember is waking up in an alley when I was ten, scrounging for scraps to survive until I was taken to the Bronzeheart estate.

That's where my life began, where I've lived for the past eight years with the ruling family, the Blitz Clan. It's where I found my best friend Gage, the future leader of this clan.

At the time, I didn't question my good fortune because I was happy to know I wasn't alone in this world anymore. But maybe I should have.

After landing a shocking invite to the prestigious Dark Imaginarium Academy, I realized how much of a safe haven the estate was.

The students at this school are out for my blood because somehow I have the attention of not just one but all three Storm Dragon Clan heirs: Gage Bronzeheart, Breaker Firespell, and Jagger Silvershade.

None of them should have an interest in me, seeing as I'm the only shifter at this academy who hasn't, you know… shifted. They should want someone powerful at their side. But it doesn't stop me from wanting them as well.

That is until I find out they've been hiding a life-changing secret from me. Now that I know…

Nothing will be the same.

Blitz is book one in the Storm Dragons' Mate series set in the shared universe of Dark Imaginarium Academy. It features a slightly naive but sassy MFC, possessive dragon alphas, and a secret that will change everything. Intended for mature listeners.

The characters!

Since I’ve read these books it was clear that I’d enjoy the audio book, however the narrators made me love it more! If you like a quick romantasy read this is for you 💜

Awesome

This is a great story and I can’t wait to finish it. I’m already looking to read book 2 right away.

Yes!

Looks like there will be another great series! I loved book 1 and can't wait for the next.

refreshing FMC

Female narrator is great, but the male narrator could be better. I could mostly ignore it. This is not a new plot (fantasy world, dragon shifter, academic setting), however the FMC has emotional intelligence?! It’s so refreshing to have a FMC who is comfortable with vulnerability and expressing her feelings despite her trauma. She loves glitter and cupcakes and together is even better. Definitely not the profile of the FMC so pervasive right now, and as much as I’m into embracing feminine rage and general badassery, there are many ways to be and express those things and it doesn’t always have to be expressed through emotional constipation and stabbyness. That said, it was interesting to observe my own reaction to her being very much a girly-girl (hello prejudice!) growing into her badassery and who who doesn’t treat vulnerability as a weakness. Not a squeaky clean romance - probably a 2.5-3 chili rating and also reverse harem, both my cup of tea, so heads up if that’s not your thing. This is the only amnesia trope I’ve ever been able to read without my eyeballs sticking in the back of my head - seriously, I hate that trope. In this situation, it works for me because it’s not paired with miscommunication.

this was just terrible and juvenile

the narrators did a good job. the story was not good. The worst female lead i've ever listened to!!

Great potential

The book was too short I like dragon shifters but there was no real progression of a story line or real character development

Voice Actors Ruin a Good Story

I listened to this book on Audible. I tried out the 5 minute preview they allow and it seemed good so I bought it but by chapter 11 I couldn't stand it anymore. The female voice actor does the majority of the work. She starts out ok but soon gets to a point that she is speaking very fast, only slowing down to a "normal" rate during conversations. It gave me a headache. Her male voices are horrid, too. The male voice actor does a decent job but his voice sounds way too young and we don't hear him very much. It's mostly the woman and her fast talking mouth. What a waste of money. You'd do better to read the book than listen to it. Audible really messed this one up. The story sounded interesting, what I got out of it. Read it, don't listen to it.
