Fairly good

Revisado: 11-10-21

I already read the book, so I knew what to expect.
I like the story. I'll keep getting them. my only complaint about the story is being "evil" for the sake of being evil. The MC should make a decision based purely off the fact that it's not good. Mr Peed might cover it in future stories, but I feel like this path will cause issues with the story down the road. i.e. what will the vampires eat when they kill all living.
The narration isn't bad, I just wish they would have stuck with the same narrator. The narrator uses the same voice for the male world litch, the ancient loli vampire, and the teen new vampire. Also, when I read it, I read O-ber-on. or some variation of that. Not O-bree-on.

So disappointed

Revisado: 10-05-21

The book had the makings of being good. What I consider it's main issues, and is one of my biggest pet peeve, is the whole book was all about how bad it can get for the MC. The MC starts the book trying to do something nice, then he gets tricked, he gets attacked, his girls get attacked, his girls get kidnapped, his girls get kidnapped again, his girls get killed, everyone around him (including the king) goes against him, and then the "happy" resolutions is the last six ish minutes of the book. The first book was pretty good; about what you would expect. This book, not so much.

Good book, Poor narrator.

Revisado: 05-20-21

I enjoy most of Grosse's books, and liked this book when I read it, but the narrator for this audio book has to be just about the worst narrator I've heard. The narrator sounds like he just decided to sit down one weekend and record himself reading the book. In one go. The recording includes all his mispronounced words, clearing his throat, and mess up and start overs. It's tolerable but I really hope he gets better with practice. Or spends a couple dollars and buys some recording software so he can edit out his screw ups.

good continuation

Revisado: 07-05-20

Another great book. My only complaint is that you don't need to make constant misery and strife for the MC. a lot of authors seem to fall into this think that is what is needed for a good book. When your MC and friends are refugees, fighting the mad king multiple different kingdoms, and assassins, and demons, and a "safe haven" amongst other things; you don't need to make the MC go crazy. Having a calm, bright spot in your book will not lose you readers. Maybe if you have problems solved at least close to as fast as they pop up. Four books in, and I think only a couple little things were solved.

So close to a good book

Revisado: 02-16-20

Parsneau did great as usual. The book could have been really good even with it being a typical harem/power up book. The biggest shortfall of this book in my opinion is how much crap is dumped on the MC. That's probably my biggest pet-peve in any book when the author try's to make the life of the MC harder and harder. The psy mafia is after you? Ok. Now the "order" is after you? Sure, maybe. But wait, there's more. Let's add three other groups to chase you. And not give you even a single moment without a fight for you life. Have one or two over arching protagonists/issues and get creative. It's also not the end of the world if you let the MC have something nice with no repercussions.
On a side note. There is nothing wrong with having a book cover a longer time period. It's not "24" Two days over three book. Come on.

How bad can you make it for the MC?

Revisado: 01-08-20

This book just blows my mind. The general concept sound like it had a lot of potential. The first 8 chapters (about half the book) is all the crap that happened to the MC. No real explanations why. Gets framed, gets convicted, gets a bad job, gets hit by a car, gets screwed while sent into the game, gets enslaved, etc. There was a weak background but it felt like an afterthought. There was also a few points that something "good" happens to the MC, but it's not really all that good and it's very short lived. The MC is a moron. With each new bad situation, the MC makes up some stupid "it'll be ok" "suck it up" excuse. There was several times when it felt that the story was getting better, but something bad happens or some new antagonist walks in.
I have skipped forward through maybe a third of the book hoping that this book will redeem itself.

surprisingly good

Revisado: 07-13-19

I wasn't really sure what it would be like when I bought it. Since it was written by Mr Arand, I knew I wouldn't be wasting money. It was an interesting (but good) take on the paranormal/fantasy genre. He even snuck a harem into the story. There was no sex and it wasn't brought into being the traditional way, so it didn't seem like he was building a harem. (well, I guess HE wasn't) Over all, well written, semi realistic and down to earth, and good narration.

so much potential

Revisado: 12-09-18

The book had a lot of potential but ended up being dark and depressing. It kept going further down the path of darkness and strife. The one positive I will give the book is the author's different spin on "monster girls".
