Shiv Crew

Rune Alexander, Book 1

By: Laken Cane

Narrated by: Rinelle Harkin

The book that started it all....

Supernatural beings exist in Rune Alexander's dark world, and as an agent in her county's law enforcement, it's her job to protect the humans from the various mad vampires, evil shifters, and rogue wolves that roam her city. When she discovers that an unknown human is abusing the supernatural groups, she and her devoted crew must break the rules and protect the Others from the humans - and they begin to realize the real monsters aren't necessarily the vampires or werewolves. The real monsters can be all too human.

Haunted by unbearable, shameful secrets and tormented by her past, she seeks redemption in pain and searches desperately for a sweet absolution that continues to elude her. As she and her crew become embroiled in a bloody battle to save the Others, she can't help but wonder who will save her from herself....

I am my monster....

Blown Away!

I absolutely loved this! Having read the series and loved every book, I had high hopes for the performance. I was not disappointed. The narrator is impressive. This book is full of action, suspense, love, and darkness; and the narrator does an amazing job leading you through the book. Rune's journey along with her crew begins here but it's not slow at all. A world both similar and different from real life is built expertly. I cannot recommend listening and/reading the entire series!

A Great Story

This story starts off a bit dark but if you can get through it then you'll enjoy the rest of it. This book is gritty and awesome! I really enjoyed listening to this story. The narration could've been better, Rinelle Harkin did a good job but her reading could have been a bit smoother. The voices were okay but a little more difference would have been nice. Overall it's worth the listen and I will certainly be looking toward the next book.

wonderful

First of all it's been about a year since I discovered shiv crew. I've read every one in the series and LOVE THEM. So to revisit the first book that drew me in as audio was awesome. The narrator was just how I expected Rune to sound. So she did an awesome job. And sometimes when I read a book and then listen to it I pick up new things I must of missed or didn't fully absorb with my eyes.
Over all it was wonderfully done.
Congratulations Laken on your first audio. I loved it.

Pleased Picky Listener

I very rarely make it all the way through an audio book because I'm not usually impressed with the narrator. I'm happy to say that after reading and loving Shiv Crew, I enjoyed listening to it just as much. The narration of this dark and addictive story was very well done. Laken is violence perfection with Rinelle bringing even more life to her stunning and suspenseful tale. If you haven't made yourself a member of Shiv Crew yet, don't wait a second longer!

Excellent start to a series

This was a very exciting start to a series. There was plenty of action and the narration was excellent. The beginning had some very dark masochistic behavior by the main character and I was a bit uncomfortable with it but I am glad I continued to listen.

Rush audiobook release for whole series!

Recommend to those who enjoy a paranormal romantic story and multiple characters over smutty scenes! Not super complex plot but enough substance to keep you listening through to the end. I like strong female characters with vulnerability without spending tons of time wallowing, rather turn internal struggles into strength.

The Narrator kept the story interesting

The Narrator is the key to any Audio Book and that is true in this situation as well.

The performance was so good that it kept me interested in listening to the entire Book.

It was rocky at first but got much better

Overall the book turned out to very good in the end. The very dark and violent places the main character went to in the beginning made me very uncomfortable and I almost stopped listening at that point. I’m glad I pushed through and continued. The overall story was very good and the narrator did an awesome job.

Fabulous book!

This is the book that starts a fabulous addicting series. Warning! You will need to read everything this author writes. Dark, gritty, gripping, but in no way a tearjerker. A must read

Troubled tale of the paranormal!

Shiv Crew is the fairly interesting if not somewhat troubling tale of Rune Alexander; a tough as nails team leader whose job it is to protect humans from a variety of paranormal creatures known as Others. Rune has some disturbing mental instabilities of her own to deal with, which usually get in the way of her mission at hand. Duty and loyalty become even more confusing as Others are being tortured and killed. Is Rune now obligated to protecting the Others? This is a strange tale to be sure and I’m not quite sure if Laken Cane pulls it off. Three.point.five for the effort.
