So I like the book. It reminded me of the hunger games all the pre-game (before the fight for your life to the death) stuff. The interviews and the dressing up all the drama they try to spin around making it a reality show. It was a pretty good book. It’s definitely worth listening to if it’s free or on sale. I even think I might listen to it more than once however even though I am curious about the next book I wouldn’t buy it. I like a good book with dram in the right place but by the end of this book you can see where the dram is going to be and it just feels like it will be more irritating then interesting. The games is rigged, people are corrupt yadda yadda yadda…..
I did like the idea of this book and if dram changed (like it only lasted for a few books) I would listen to these if they were free. But I have a hard time using a credit on a book that is under 5 hours long.

I had this book in my wish list and then it got put in the plus catalog so I listened to this book for free. I’m so glad I did and that I didn’t use a credit on it. This is going to be a one and done series (first book in series) for me. Even though the next book is also free to listen to I just won’t. This book had a lot of detail and plot but I didn’t feel the action or excitement in it. The main character got kidnapped and it was like huh I wonder how they will rescue her. With no excitement. I actually stopped listing to have dinner with my family in the middle of the action and wasn’t worried or curious about what was going to happen next. When I did pick the book back up I thought about just quitting and not finishing it but there is 45 minutes left so I figured I would just finish it. For those who thought this was a romance I’m sorry to say I do think so I’m down to the last 18 minutes and this is going to be the sum of the “romance “ (sex). Over all the book just wasn’t that interesting. It had potential with the world that was being created but, I just can’t waste any more time on a book that is just ok.

This book took a very long time to get anywhere. I didn’t look at how many hours into the book I was but it was passed chapter 14 and the two main characters couldn’t even talk to each other. I think there was only a little over an hour left in the book before there was even any real chemistry between the characters. Now having said that it wasn’t a bad story it just felt like it was long and drawn out. Like maybe more should have happened between chapter 1-14 because I almost gave up on the book. This was a free book to listen to so maybe that’s why I didn’t give it a harsher review but I’m super glad I didn’t waste my money or credits on it. This is not a book I would listen to again. But if you like the theme of this book I totally recommend Ruby Dixon and her Corsairs series (Hollie Jackson narrated this too) and Risdaverse series, this author tells a good story. Hollie Jackson the narrator did a great job as always.

So the story line is good and there is enough of a hook left at the end of the book to make you want to read the next one. I actually like the story……..but there is a problem (and I have listened to books 1-3 cause they were free.) The author makes the story unbelievable or goes against the world they have set up. Here is an example and it has nothing to do with the story so no spoilers. If an author tells you that this race of alien can not tell a lie, and then later in the story one of those aliens tells a lie it makes the story hard to believe in. May be it’s just me but my mind gets hung up on how out of character this is and ruins the story for me. The author did a few things in the book that made it hard to believe in. But all in all I did find the story worth listening to just not worth buying and I wouldn’t listen to them again. The writing quality is just not good enough for repeated listenings.

Narration and main female character not great

So first if you do decide to buy this book make sure you buy the box set of all the books because you don’t really get a full story out of the individual books.
Second the narrator is decent to listen to however there are edits in the book that aren’t seamless and there are spots that the volume keeps fluctuating up and down and it is distracting.
Third is the main character, she is a cop and has been for years yet she acts really naive in somethings. She talks about how she trusts her instincts and she follows them when it comes to her job, but she doesn’t follow them in her personal life. I am 4 hours away from finishing the last book and I just don’t think I can take any more of her stupidity.
There is also something missing when it comes to the characters. Some authors do a great job of making you love or hate characters and the relationships between them. This author fell short on making a connection with the reader and the characters. I was excited with the story line when I first started the book, but right from the start when your getting to know the main female character your missing the build up and chemistry between her and the male characters. It’s literally like the female character meets the male characters and before you really get to know anyone or what’s happening they are having sex and, then care about each other, then they are in love and your like WTF! I really enjoy the build up between two characters and you’re just not getting that here. I would never re-listen to the book, and I’m like 90% sure I won’t finish it. I have already stoped and started it again 3 different times today because I was frustrated with the main character. I will return the book it if I can.

This is a great book! I have listened to it several times. If you’re looking for a book that has excitement without drama this is it. The story is great and you will love the characters. This book draws you into the immortal guardian world and you will want to read the whole series. If you do listen to the series you won’t be disappointed.

I listened to book 1 and thought that this was an interesting idea. Well come to book 2 and it was even more interesting yet. I definitely plan to listen to the whole series. If I had to come up with one thing I didn’t like about this book it was the female character. She made some stupid decisions and I generally like stronger female leads. But I still thought this was a great book I finished it in 2 days. I even got my boyfriend hook on this series too.

I have read books with prison planet theme before but this one is different. This book kept me guessing as to where it was going and what would happen next. I’m definitely going to listen to the next book. This book was one of those books that I couldn’t quite thinking about when I had to take a break for real life. I finished it in about 3 days and found my mind thinking about it every morning I woke up wondering what was going to happen.
This was my first book with this author and I think I will check out what else she has to offer.

Not finishing a story is one of my biggest pet peeves. I hate it when you buy a book only to realize that you only get a few chapters and not a full story. Other than that the story was ok. I’m glad it was a free listen and no I won’t be buying the other books. This does leave you on a cliffhanger, and I notice that audible only has book 2 and not 3.
I will say that the idea was new, or not done much.

This was a free listen through the plus catalog. The description wasn’t riveting but I rather like the author so I decided to give it a try. It was slow to start and took me a few tries before I got into it. But once the story really started I was intrigued. This book’s concept is like no other I have read. It was worth the listen, but I find myself waffling on whether I want to use a credit on the next book. These are very long books which I like cause I feel like I’m getting my money’s worth. But there were moments in this book where I was like “Really”, so I’m not sure if the next book will be the same or if it was just that character. The book does have an ending so you can listen to just the one and quite and still feel like you go a whole book.
