Wrath ~ Tender, Procetive and Hot as Sin!

Each New Species male characters are so different and likable; it's almost impossible to not fall in love with each of them. Wrath, who was newly freed works outside Homeland to help find, and rescue his people but he is still adapting to being free.

I loved the fact the female heroin in this story was smart. When Lauren was capture and locked away with other New Species, she cunningly tricks her one of captures to call the New Species headquarters, and provides a covert message that leads to their rescue. I also, loved she did not really suffer at the hands of her captures like some of the other females in the stories.

Each story is a five star, and I really love the time I spend reading them, they take me away to place that can be dark, but oh so sexy.

Very cool plot!

Okay, things are getting better in the New Species world! I LOVE that we got to see Wrath again, he was a supporting character in Brawn and I was hoping he would reappear!

In this addition, Wrath really just wants to help his people, to save those that are still locked up like he was, and to make a difference. He joins the human task team with to others and runs into a slight glitch when they have to take a human hostage...a female human....yeah he didn't bargain for that female, but it was a fascinating story...although VERY implausible. So while I really liked the refreshing story line I only gave it 4 stars because I had to tell my brain it was fiction many times to get past the glaring "no freaking way would that ever happen" moments.

Still good though!

Plush and Cuddly Goodness

I loved that one of us plush girls got to have a New Species male and though she was blonde she was smart. It was also great that Wrath had his friend Shadow to encourage him and stand beside him.

Great series

My only complaint is that none of these species are ethnic. Lol. Don't get me wrong I know that Caucasians make up most of the world but it would b nice to hear about some Latin love, some African mandingo, or some Native American teasing. IJS

I love this series but...

Where does Wrath rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I have been devouring book after book of this series. I may be addicted... So far my favorite has been Valiant. I was actually pretty excited about this one thanks to the previous book. Perhaps that made my disappointment about this book not being totally awesome, and just so-so, worse. Dohner is an amazing writer no doubt, but this did not feel on par with the other books in this series. The plot felt forced at times, and just off in others. I kind of felt like Wrath was all over the place character wise. He didn't feel like the same person from the last book, or even the same person from the beginning to the end of this book. Not in growth, but his personality was everywhere. The reasoning in the characters actions where also irrational to me to the point was actually thinking, "Why didn't they just do this....". It takes a lot for me to think that way, and to have my mind dropped from the story line.

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

Speaking of my mind dropping from the story line, we are on to the narrator. Chambers does a very good job in this series trying to make all the characters (and there are many) distinct through their voice. There are some of her voices I like more then others, but that's just my preference. In this story though I couldn't stand her voice for Wrath. Every time he spoke I was popped out of the story listening to a woman trying to give an awful impersonation of a girl trying to copy a deep mans voice. It was so bad at times it was funny, but I'd have to rewind to try to focus on what Wrath was saying. All other voices where fine.

Any additional comments?

All in all it was passable, and I would listen just to get to the next story. But I'm not likely to re-listen.

Sexy, sensual and exciting

This was a great all around book. Interesting characters and storyline. Some very hot sex and lots of touching scenes. Didn’t want it to end. Great narration by Ms Chambers, she has terrific male voices.

I love that these are so thrilling

I cannot stop reading these books. I like the mixture of suspense and romance. I feel the author knows exactly how to push and pull at the right moments.

My favorite series hands down...

I love the New Species series and especially love the audio book versions. This story is interesting and kept my attention throughout. Wrath & Lauren are great characters that bring so much to each other and make it a pleasure to hear their story.

This story has grown into one of my favorites of the series. The narration was good as usual although sometimes Wrath's "voice" or pronounciation distracted me from the story on a couple of lines. This is more of a personal issue than anything and was only a couple of times so doesn't affect the majority of the story. My biggest complaint is one specific line that was supposed to be read in Lauren's voice but wasn't. The first time I heard it I actually went back immediately and listened to it again just to make sure. I always notice it (and smile) when I hear it but it's just one line and easy to forget once it's over.

There are some stories that are better being read than listened to but this series is not one of them. The narrator brings such individuality to the characters throughout the audio book series that listening to them over and over is like greeting an old friend that never gets boring.

Horrible narration of male voices.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

The female voices were fine but the male ones could of been better. They sounded so goofy.

Warth...so cute and so good!

Would you listen to Wrath again? Why?

Yes, I have done that and would do it again, as I love this series and book.

What other book might you compare Wrath to and why?

None. It is, it's own book and I can't think of one that is like this one. Vanessa Chambers does a great job at deepening her voice or changing it for each and every character.

What does Vanessa Chambers bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Changing her voice to match what the characters are saying and the emotions that she reads in.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When Wrath saves her from Vengeance at the beginning of the book.
