Not His Mate… Or Is She?

Revisado: 04-11-25 El oyente recibió este título gratis

This story had a fun twist on the usual “fated mate” theme. Calix is convinced Emma isn’t the one, and yet… he just can’t let her go. Emma’s side of the story is equally compelling—trying to make sense of a situation that’s part rescue, part romantic mess, and part identity crisis.

There’s some serious miscommunication (and missed communication), which sometimes made me feel a bit frustrated, but it also gave the characters room to develop. I enjoyed how it all tied back into the world of the series.

The narration really works here — everything flows nicely and keeps the story alive.

Finding Truth in Unexpected Places

Revisado: 03-18-25 El oyente recibió este título gratis

If you love fated-mates romance mixed with intrigue and adventure, A Monster’s Treasure is a solid start to the Kadrixan Mates series. The story sets up an interesting contrast between the struggling human colony and the misunderstood Kadrixans, making for a compelling backdrop.

Clara’s growth throughout the book kept me engaged—while she wasn’t fully convinced by the colony’s propaganda, she still had many assumptions to question. Seeing her perspective shift as she learned more was satisfying. Krxare was a great match for her, patient yet determined, and their relationship developed in a believable way, with plenty of heartfelt moments.

The pacing was a bit uneven, with the first half focused on introducing the setting and characters, but things picked up nicely later on. The narration was strong, and both voice actors did a great job bringing the story to life. Overall, a fun listen that makes me curious about the rest of the series.

Mal’k Shines, Meghan Struggles

Revisado: 02-27-25 El oyente recibió este título gratis

As always, Troy Duran and Keira Stevens deliver excellent narration, making the characters and world feel immersive. Mal’k was an easy hero to like—thoughtful, patient, and willing to adapt when his initial approach to Meghan didn’t work. He respected her fears but also knew when to gently push her forward.

Meghan, however, was much harder to connect with. Her constant fear and inability to adapt made her feel frustratingly stagnant at times. She often reacted to stress with panic, repeatedly falling into the same patterns and making decisions she later regretted.

That said, the world-building continues to expand, and the narration keeps the story engaging. While this book didn’t resonate with me as strongly as others in the series, Mal’k’s devotion adds heart to the story, and the ongoing development of the bugpocalypse world keeps things interesting. It’s still a good addition and worth a listen for series fans.

Taking Time

Revisado: 02-14-25 El oyente recibió este título gratis

This audiobook shows that instant attraction doesn't mean instant relationship. Koriv'n knows what he wants but respects Nikki's need for time, while she stays open to possibilities despite past experiences. Their story develops at a natural pace as they get to know each other through "dating" - something new for a Xarc'n hunter but exactly what Nikki needs. Troy Duran and Kiera Stevens deliver another good performance. An enjoyable edition to the series.

A Bit of a Role Reversal

Revisado: 01-30-25 El oyente recibió este título gratis

This audiobook brings a refreshing twist to the series' romance formula. Instead of the typical hunter pursuit, you get to watch Evie go after what she wants while Tarv'k wrestles with his insecurities about their age gap. Their journey shows personal growth on both sides - Evie finds her place in the compound through cooking and gradually faces her bug phobia, while Tarv'k learns that experience and maturity are assets, not obstacles, to love. All of this comes to life through Troy Duran and Kiera Stevens' excellent narration.

Skeptic Meets Protector

Revisado: 01-16-25

What makes this story engaging is Connie's practical independence - she's willing to leave perceived safety for uncertain freedom when she realizes something's wrong. The relationship develops naturally, with "Jerk" (as she amusingly first calls him) giving her space while still protecting her from afar. Their dynamic works well - he enjoys showing off his bug-hunting prowess while she gradually opens her mind to their connection after seeing evidence from other hunter-human couples. Their journey from mistrust to understanding feels well-paced. The performances by Troy Duran and Kiera Stevens bring these characters vividly to life.

Ideas and Inventions Lead to Love

Revisado: 01-16-25 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Troy Duran and Kiera Stevens deliver another excellent performance in this engaging audiobook. I particularly loved Natalie's character - refreshingly independent-minded and creative, always finding innovative solutions. The dynamic between her and Rajiv'k, a hunter who prefers inventing to fighting, feels natural and compelling. They complement each other perfectly - he helps rebuild her relationship confidence while she encourages his innovative spirit, making their romance especially satisfying.

Bugs, Romance, and Two Great Narrators

Revisado: 12-28-24

This audiobook was a delightful quick listen. The dual narration by Troy Duran and Keira Stevens is great - they bring both the action and the romance to life. I loved how Kaj'k was determined yet patient, giving Alice the space she needed to come around to him. Their relationship develops naturally amid the chaos - he's protective without being overbearing, while she's cautious without being overly stubborn. The blend of action, world-building, and romance keeps the story moving at a perfect pace. Definitely worth a listen!

Resistance Is Futile... But Fun!

Revisado: 12-19-24 El oyente recibió este título gratis

This audiobook was a treat! Troy Duran's narration is fantastic - especially his portrayal of Vore. I loved watching Lettie try to resist Vore's charm while he was completely determined to win her over. Her journey from resistance to acceptance feels authentic given her past relationship trauma, and their chemistry is palpable throughout, making their eventual coming together feel earned. Definitely worth a listen!
