Tall, Dark & Furious

Pyte/Sentinel, Book 6

By: R. L. Mathewson

Narrated by: Celestine Wolf

From best-selling author R.L. Mathewson comes the sixth installment of the Pyte/Sentinel Series....

For listeners who enjoy paranormal romance with a twist.

For three centuries, Trace waited for this moment, imagined all the things that he would do to the Pack that tried to kill him, and now that he was free....

All he could think about was the woman that he'd claimed as his own. She was everything that he'd always wanted and once he had his revenge, he would make her his.

Sam had resigned herself to a lot of things over the years, being the town joke, blacking out at inopportune moments, and living with a dog that hated her, but what she hadn't planned on was suddenly finding five large men destroying her basement, looking for a tomb that she never knew existed. In one moment, her life changed forever, leaving her to wonder how she was going to make it out of this alive.

Requires reader attention

The storyline jumps from new characters to old ones without a proper transition. I had to focus on names and places to prevent getting confused. The introduction of so many characters was a bit confusing, and I had to rewind from the last narration to catch up.
I don't quiet get the relevancy of the human "Indie", and also how Noah and Heath reactioned to her or I might be a bit confused there. I think there were too many things going on in this book. It think the author was just tired of the series and just want to wrap it up. Yet , I think a mother book is warranted to explain Gils and Dana. What became of them?
Overall, I still love this series.

i love this series

I love the Sentinel/Pyte series but I believe this one is the best so far. Not only does it have vampires and shifters, it has undying love, hate and sacrifice. It kept me on the edge and made me want to cry from sorrow and love.

a little confusing, but I am still a fan

I have listened to the entire Pyte/Sentinel series thus far, and it is one of my favorites. I adore the characters. There are many laugh out loud moments with Mathewson's books, and that's the reason why I listen to them. They lift my heart. Many of the other reviews mentioned the story was all over the place. It is. You have to have read the other books in the series to not be lost. Even having read all the books, it took a minute to understand what was happening. It was like a soap opera, switching from the main characters to side characters that are still pivotal to the story. I wish Mathewson would have given each segment a lead in, like give the main character the segment is about and where it was taking place. I have listened to other authors that have used that technique when the settings changed rapidly. It made it easier to follow. Still I am a big fan of the series and looking forward to next installment of the series.

Loved it

I love the you brought Jill back into it but not so much that Logan was the one she is with. I almost stopped listening after the last one because it was disappointing to me. This one made up for it. On the the next.

favorite series

Another awesome book. Sad, joyful, exciting, and sexy. What more could you ask for! Can't wait to dive into the next book in the series.

what a great lesson. what a very good book

love it it was hard to put it down. I would like to know the next book is.

amazing book

I still wanting to know when and if the author will finish the series? There are so many loose ends that maybe another author should take over.... it would be nice if the family could find a happiness.

Love this book

I love this series. The only thing put me off a little bit much jumped around, but overall a good book.

The Hero: Trace - in 1665, Trace’s vampire father Ethan found out he was a Pyte, and not human. A Pyte is a result of the mating between a vampire and a human. They fled the village and the sentinal’s were after them. They moved from village to village until finally moving to the colonies. They ended up in a village where he met a shifter girl named Mary whom he thought of as a friend, while he waited until his transformation at 16 years old. After a fight with his father, Trace ran to make sure Mary was safe, but she betrayed him.

The heroine: Sam - she lives 10 miles from town with the nearest neighbor eight miles away. She lives with her dog Charlie, who seems to enjoy making her life a living hell. She broke up with her fiancée two months ago when she caught him with the grocery store checkout clerk, and he announced she was terrible in bed. Sam has a habit of fainting at the worst possible moments and between that and the episode with her fiancée, she was the town joke. She was also scared of her own basement and had been since she was a child, living with her grandmother when she got locked down there for 10 hours.

The Story: Sam works as a nurse in the emergency department at the hospital and many times seen people she trained move up over her. The doctor in charge wouldn’t promote her because he was afraid she would pass out during a trauma, even though it never happened. It only happened when she was embarrassed or anxious. One day when Sam goes down to her basement to change a fuse, she sees six armed men down there tearing her cellar apart.

Trace had been buried in the wall of that basement for hundreds of years. The men that buried him there came back to check to see if he was still there and he was able to kill them. That is when he smelled the human female. He still wanted to get revenge on the girl that betrayed him. I liked his first meeting with Sam. She thought he was some kind of monster when he came out of that wall. Of course, she passed out, which was kind of cute.

This was the most confusing book I have ever read or listened to. The beginning was good, but then it kept changing every chapter to another location and different characters and I really had no idea what was going on for quite a while. I didn’t like it. Some of them were sentinels from the prior books, some were Trace’s father and others. I got it all after a while, but it was confusing at first and at times throughout. Overall though the story was really good. I loved the storyline with the two main characters and Trace’s fathers storyline as well.

This audiobook was told in multiple points of view via solo narration. It was narrated by Celestine Wolf. I am not usually too fond of solo narration, though Celestine does a good job. She has a nice voice and is good at doing different voices for different characters.

Enjoyable

I’m really enjoying the series. the story line is good and the characters are funny. This one had some new characters not in the other books and jump around a bit which made me have to rewind & listen again to figure out what was going on. But overall a good listen. Glad to hear about Jill in this story.
