Narrator

I enjoyed the book itself, but the narrator's voice was the equivalent of nails on a chalkboard.

Hooks You In

First series of Dannika Dark that I read. Instantly became obsessed with anything Dannika Dark reads.

Decent Set, Worth a Credit

I got this set during a 2 for 1 credit sale. I have already used a credit to get the 4th book as of writing this.

Book 1: Decent

Book 2: Great

Book 3: Stellar

1) I was not a big fan of the first book’s main characters. I have never rolled my eyes so hard while listening to a book. However, it was able to hook me by its overarching story and that’s sometimes all that’s needed. I think this book could be skipped. Each book is fairly stand alone, but you are better for having read/listened to them in order. I think Lexi was too childish and foolish in most of her decision making. Which is kind of funny because, April, in the next book, takes the crown for stupidest person ever. But I loved book 2.

2) the narrator or is very consistent with her voices so if you didn’t like April’s voice in book 1, you’re going to continue to hate it throughout the series. I didn’t hate her voice. I just hated her independence streak. The author does a great job of letting you know why she refuses to tell others she is in trouble or needs help, so it is never out of character when she tries to handle something by herself. She really only tells other people what her problems are when they are forced to be part of it. So realistically, all of April’s dumb choices made sense and it was a question of will she ever let someone in? I liked that about her book.

3) this is one where I was confused. Not in a bad way, but by chapter 10 I was scared the audiobook chapters were messed up because my girl was already in end of book style peril. This book does what book 1 doesn’t — give me a believable story about 2 people who love each other, didn’t know the other loved them back, and trying to figure out if they could or should navigate a relationship together going forward. I was not a fan of how long Izzy was on the “outs” with Jericho’s brothers or even why — but it did make sense and honestly helped me empathize with Izzy even more. 3 books in and she’s my favorite female character of the series.

Of the 3 books I would relisten to 3 and maybe 2 from time to time. Definitely not 1. I don’t mind groaning aloud when people make dumb choices. I appreciate a book that makes me actually laugh aloud. I do t even mind when books make me cry. But I dislike books that make me roll my eyes more than 5 times when tied to the main character.

book 1 and 3 are great!

the 2nd book, Lord! the voice of April was like nails on a chalkboard to me. I finished it, but the voice was terrible. all in all, great books, good storyline. kept me interested and made me want to read more of her work.

Enjoyable

I really enjoyed this box set. I was able to continue to the next story without having to do anything. The storyline was interesting and keeps you interested in the story.

The complex careing characters in her stories!

I truly enjoy the story and the characters in this series of books. Just keep up the amazing stories coming! The reader is truly amazing and riveting with her in inflections in the reading of the books! Thank you!

Great story

Loved the series I want to listen to all her stories now! The shifter stories are new light to the shifter way.

A good listen

She is a great narrator. Really enjoyed the performance. Enjoyed the story line and characters

Character building!

Being able to see from different characters points of view was awesome. The best part was inside the characters head dialog!!!

Book 3...

Did anyone else also hear "sung in a tircle?"

I know this is an oldy but narrators take note this isn't it.
