Very soon, I will be running out of superlatives and adjectives to describe Nicholas Bella’s books. I read this book a few years ago and fell in love with all the characters. This accompanying narration is outstanding. Matt Williams brings each character to life, his voice is sexy, sultry and oh so right for the book. Nicholas Bella is such a great writer who gives us complex and loving characters, even the ones we love to hate. We get a feeling that Mr. Bella is always having fun with and through his characters. This entire series is great and I am patiently waiting for the next episode.

Lords of Chaos and Brotherhood!

Revisado: 10-30-21 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Wow, Outlawed is a head spin! An absolute delight. When I first started this book, the writing style reminded me of the old television show “The West Wing” with its fast-paced dialogues and ever-changing camera angles. It just felt like Nicholas Bella was having fun weaving in and out of different characters’ points of views. I love how refreshing this is.
I am not sure how Nicholas Bella does it. Book after book, he creates characters that while flawed, are larger than life. In Outlawed: Lords of Chaos, the characters are fierce, fearless, and sexy as heck. There is so much to love about this book. Can we start with the sexy nicknames? Ace, Dragon, Tank, Maverick and Nine Iron, absolutely fitting for this world of bikers!
 Noah, “Ace” Murphy is my favorite character, not only because of his physique, ok, maybe a little bit, but mainly because of the way he swooped in and rescued Kenshin.  
Make no mistake, just like all the characters, Ace is a deadly, take no prisoner lord, but he is also compassionate, he lives for his club, for his brothers, and family. “As long as you can be a flamboyant femme fag with a mean hook and can ride a Harley like you ride a dick, you are good”. This phrase from Ace to Kenshin sums up how inclusive the Lords of Chaos are. Pull your weight, defend the MC and your brothers and you can wear all the bedazzled shirts you want.
Although this Motorcycle Club might not be a healthy place for anyone not abiding by its codes, maybe their actions could be seen as reprehensible, however, we also discover that they cannot tolerate cruelty nor injustice. The members have a great sense of brotherhood as no brother is ever left behind. 
This is a great start to the series; the audio narration is on point. The narrator does a wonderful job with all the different voices. I can’t wait for the next installment.

A Great Read

Revisado: 10-26-21

I picked this book up because of the narrator, John Solo. I loved every word and then some. The story is captivating and John Solo's narration is outstanding as usual. I even went and read the next in the series, The Baby and the Panther. I can't wait for the audio to come out.

Perfect ending to a perfect series

I was a latecomer to Demon Gate series. I usually don’t like to read books about demons, devils, satan, and their acolytes. But since I love everything Nicholas Bella, I decided to give the series a try. Wow, I didn’t know that the dark side could be so good, lol. This is the season finale of a wonderful story, the final showdown, the battle of good versus evil! Ok, I got carried away, they are all demons, but you get the picture. 
Demon Gate final season is intense, suspenseful, and full of angst. It makes me think of Ethan Hunt and his Mission Impossible Force crew rushing all over the globe trying to kill demons and capture Katashneil before the fiery rope burns out.
You must listen to this audio to fully understand how good this narrator is. Christian J. Gilliland has catapulted into my top ten list of go-to narrators. Believe me, it is a very hard list to make. His narration is unique in the sense that he uses his regular voice to tell the story, then inserts different voices for the character’ dialogues, absolute work of genius. The cadence and tone of the narration is on point. There is never any confusion about which character is speaking as each one is uniquely voiced.
 I definitely recommend this audiobook and this narrator.

Sweet Hussy Caroline!

Revisado: 07-27-21

Nicholas Bella has done it again with That Mafioso Magic. This book has everything you need for your listening pleasure. Magic, mages, sex, vampires, shifters and did I mention hot sex? And just in case you are not convinced, how about a group of deadly, “not be to mess with” bodyguards who can throw down on five-inch spiked stilettos?  Yes, they do exist!! Just be ready for the best or worst book hangovers. I am still recovering!

Nicholas Bella’s writing style is unique and captivating. He does not sugar coat things nor use fluff, and this translates to characters who are straight forward and honest in their actions and feelings.
The dynamic between the two main characters is extraordinary. Adrian and Sage are two people from different worlds who collided in an epic scene you will have to listen and experience for yourself.

I joke that if this audiobook was one of those old vinyl records, it will have scratches all over! Yes, I have listened to That Mafioso Magic that many times. it is that good.
Keith Foltz voice is unbelievable, he helps bring each character to life. The voice he gave to each character is how I imagined it when I read the book. Excellent choice of narrator. I can’t wait for the next book.

Outstanding Book Meets Outstanding Narrator

Revisado: 03-24-21 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Finally, Christian J. Gilliland lends his sexy voice to Théoden, The Prince of the City, the master vampire and honestly the true ruler of New Haven. Nicholas Bella has opened the door to the life of Théoden, He makes us understand who the character is and what makes him tick. As usual, with his books, NB is not trying to persuade us into liking or rooting for Théoden. He is merely telling us his origins story; he is asking us to take Théoden as he is or leave him! Oh, am I taking him!!
I have read this book several times since its publication in 2018, but listening to this narrator, it felt like a new story. I kept anticipating every scene. At one point, I had to pause the audio and dig out the book to ensure that a scene was actually in the book. Yes, the audio version is that good. This is a testament to Christian J. Gilliland artistry. This narrator is great, and his rendition of each character is outstanding and spot on. You will not be disappointed.
If this is your first Nicholas Bella’s book or your first foray into the New Haven/Odin Chronicles universe, please read the blurb and his disclaimer/warning to ensure that this is for you. If it is, you will LOVE this book and before you know it, you will CRAVE for more and will be reading/listening to Mr. Bella’s entire catalog. His work is that addictive. Enjoy
