Knight's Bane

De: Kirk Mason

Narrado por: Savannah Thomas

“Me? Become a knight and fall in love with a beautiful vampire? If you say so.”

William was just a simple villager: milking cows, tending fields, and dodging his mother's wooden spoon.

One night in the forbidden forest, he found himself fending off goblins with a shovel, fighting side by side with the damn prince! Next, he kneeled before the king of the realm. William had hoped for a monetary reward, not to be made a knight!

But someone else was in the forbidden forest that night, witnessing his prowess with interest.

In a manor, hidden in the forest, Lady Beatrice was tormented by her clanfamily. They mocked her solitude and her refusal to drink human blood.

One fateful night away from them, Beatrice heard fighting. She soon wondered whom the oaf was bumbling through her forest, assaulting goblins and seeking witches for a fool's errand.

Her clanfamily must not learn of the knight nor her new interest in him.

And how would William complete his quest, despite its obvious hopelessness?

They might help each other....

Knight’s Bane features a sweet, monogamous romance arc and some sizzling scenes. There’s humor, heart, battles, shovels, and a few adorably fluffy familiars.

Great book!

The performance was one of the best I've heard. The story is interesting and the romance was just right.

A surprising romance

This was a wonderful cross species romance I loved the back and forth between the two leads and the way it showed there prospectives I don’t know if this is a one of story or a series but ether way it ends in a wonderful spot and makes me happy how they came together

A different story

This story was quite interesting it was a different type of story but enjoyable keep up the good work

Great entry with fun moments

Kirk Mason back at it with a solo romance this time. Definitely similar vibes to Raconteur (another book of his) which is mostly great as I loved that book but it also feels like retreading some ground. Like Raconteur it has a split PoV. I'd say it's about 50-50 between the MMC and FMC alternating every chapter. I had plenty of fun with the book and the characters are enjoyable. I felt like some things got resolved too easily or got glossed over, possibly for the sake of pacing, but I found that it detracts from the whole and challenged my suspension of disbelief. It also had one of the tropes I dislike but I don't want to spoil things as although it comes into play early on, we don't get the actual reveal until at the midpoint I think.

Besides my gripes, it's a good book and I'd still recommend it. It has a lot of charm and the romance is good. It also has a trope that I enjoy which is enemies to lovers. Unlike the other trope I mentioned, I don't think spoiling it ruins anything as it's a core part of the romance and sets the mood from the beginning.

Savannah Thomas delivers a good performance. She's growing on me but she's not quite up there yet for me. Can't put my finger on why. She's not doing anything wrong and she's adds to the charm of Beatrice, the FMC.

Extatic laurels

I can not say enough beautiful storyline. Superb narration, it just kept getting better and better. I could not stop listening until I was finished. WTG Kurt

Excellent romance

I would recommend this book to anyone who like a human and vampire romance set in a old time with knights and castles with some fantasy beasts sprinkled in.

Great Start but Bad Ending

So I listened to this a bit ago and liked the story in the beginning and thought I knew which direction it would be going, and even thought there will be a second book the way it was written. However, as we got closer to the end I found it to highly disappointing since the book sound like it's going to be the only book from how the story did an abrupt turn in a different direction with the story and the ending ended up feeling rushed.

Really wanted to like this one

Seems like a wasted opportunity. So many things were good ideas but were just not executed correctly. Their relationship does not seem natural. We are given a subplot that is meaningless. And the motivations for why each mc wants to be with the other is unclear and almost haphazard. Disappointing.
