Bonded Spirits: The Complete Series

By: Jake Daniel

Narrated by: Christian J. Gilliland, Hazel Cohen

A veteran hunter. An unimaginable world filled with monsters and magic. Destiny awaits.

When fate brought me to the fantasy world of Aurilon, I thought I'd seen everything.

If I only knew how wrong I was.

Now, I’ve discovered monsters are real, they’re stunningly beautiful, and they need my help. In this world, men’s cores are cursed, preventing them from cultivating and achieving incredible power. Fortunately, I’m not from this world.

With several amazing monster girls at my side, I'll forge a new destiny and ascend to heights I’d only ever dreamed of. But first, I must create a safe haven in the wilds to protect those who have been hunted for far too long.

My greatest challenge lies ahead. Spirit to cultivate. Monster girls to rescue. Skills to increase. And a boatload of enemies to eliminate.

I’ve never come back from a hunt empty-handed, and I’m not about to start now.

Wow - what an awesome ride!

I picked this one up for a road trip and found myself staying in my car so I could keep listening.

This series follows an experienced hunter who ends up traveling to a new world which happens to be filled with all sorts of magical creatures, most of which are beautiful monster girls.

I loved the different personalities of each of the women, especially the cow girl, Chloe. She runs the tavern and just has one of those bartender personalities that makes you want to keep coming back.

Logan has his share of adventures throughout the series, saving women, bonding with them, and learning how to cultivate spirit to become stronger.

There are a few big baddies, ultimately leading up to a big showdown at the end. I think there’s a little something for everyone in this one.

The end wrapped it up nicely as well, so I felt good about it and really hope there is some way for the series to continue.

The narrators did a great job and kept me engaged the entire way through.

Had potential

Could have been so much more there was so much potential just wasn’t a home run focus was put in the dumbest places and problems that needed to be solved but never got answered

Fantastic

Series that only got better with each book.
I enjoyed the world that the author built with a ton of fun characters.

It is definitely for adults, but the steamy scenes did not take away from the interesting plot. In most cases they actually added to the story since the main character earns new skills or grows stronger with each one.

The action was great and many of the things people complained about in book one (too lenient or whatever) isn’t an issue later in the series.

I loved how all the women were able to stand on their own, and were each strong in their own areas, but complemented the main character well.

Definitely glad I gave this one a chance.

not just another haren

characters had content.. better than many .. and they didn't need the you feel so f_&king good

Not so good.

Performance is so-so as both VAs have some variety to them but not convincing enough to make you believe that each character is different.

Story itself has a some serious issues. So you have powers... but somehow despite being more well equipped and having no real compelling reason to surrender, you should... surrender? Logic. And how the heck is it always one of your companions that says to trust them and you get into deeper crap and yet you keep doing what they say... when each and EVETY time it results in the mc suffering a crippling injury right off the bat when he could have just gone lethal and wrapped it up nice and quick? Wuxia cultivating nonsense isn't even an excuse - it's just bad writing.

And no, don't give me some gripe about how the villain in the first book is menacing. He is not. MC is just incompetent. "Well he's a dang menace but hopefully he's done for but I doubt it so no I shouldn't check despite having been a hunter and tracking prey to finish the job is literally what I'm supposed to be good at" or my favourite "Ladies we should never split up." followed by "I'll lead them away but it doesn't count as being split up because I got dainty damsel syndrome and despite my ability to detect ambushes I get ambushed and get brought back with a knife to my throat so we end up together so it doesn't count as splitting up"…?

Yeah. Issues.

Really good box set

lots of harrem, but more open relationships than girls fighting for pecking order. I will probably reread the series later.

Great Book Overall

This book is pretty straight forward if you have ever listened to a monster girl Harem book series before. The characters are fun and the story moves along a good pace. I'll admit a lot of the female characters sound the same, but there is enough variation to not be a negative. If you like this style book this will not disappoint. The male children's voices were hard to listen to, but there isn't a lot to have to listen to so it was ok. The voice actor did the best he could. Children's voices are always hard in my opinion. I gave it 4 stars on Story because it's a little different take on a story that has been told over and over. Still good just dont expect to be finding something new. I wasn't. The 4 starts on overall was due to the sound mixing. the volume was all over the place. I listen in my truck a lot. Most points the volume was so low I had to crank it all the way up then all of the sudden something dramatic would happen and I was afraid it was going to start blowing speakers. I understand that there has to be a neutral volume and the quiet and loud stuff has to work around that. The neutral was way to low in my opinion for this recording. Listening with a good set of headphones, not a problem. In the car was the pits though.

too many...

How many times can you use the word several, omg, wtf! Are these books enjoyable?, at times, yes, but the repetition can be a bit much, my opinion is all, overall I would say it is worth the price.

A true adventure

The storyline is full of not only Gorgeous women and sex but also a good adventure.

Great Book

I hope there's more to come it was great. my first audible book the best audible book
