Great narrator, average story

Setting : Contemporary, eastern Washington state
Genre: Paranormal
Narration is great because... Lorelei King
I just did a long review of this book at Goodreads, and I don't know how to copy and paste on a mobile device, so please check out the reviews there. There are quite a few 5-star ratings, but I couldn't agree. The POV is 1st person singular. which isn't a bad thing in this genre. I see a lot of books written in that viewpoint done well. However, this one is pretty passive-voice, with more tell than show, and dialogue isn't as abundant as it could be to show who the people are. There are interruptions in the action to remind the reader of information already provided.
The plot is a little thin, but I think the purpose of this book was to introduce conflicts and character backstory. If you plan on listening to this series (and it really is a series, needing to be done in order), this book gives a good foundation.

Enjoyable and worth the listen!

This was so good that I went through the series in one week. I need to buy more credits!

excellent story

interesting plot, nice slight twist at the end. characters were all interesting. I like the take on the supernatural world the author has.
Why four stars then? I... it's hard to put my finger on it, but something on the style of prose rubbed me a little wrong. sometimes the short sentences one after another made things feel... clipped? it's hard to articulate, but I think most people will enjoy regardless so I recommend.

WHENS THE MOVIE?!?!?!

I loved this book. I wish there was a movie for it. The whole series is worth both the read and listen. Lora does great with her impressions!

not my favorite but still really good

this is slow going. it's a series so it is somewhat expected. I really enjoyed the voice portion. it did hook me by about the 1/2 way Mark though.

Wow, that was fun!

This was my first Patricia Briggs book and I completely enjoyed it! I hope as I continue to read the rest of the series that she flushes out even more of the characters. Here I go again with book two.

Great paranormal adventure

I was absolutely delighted with the book both in content and narration. It has a great plot. Also it's clean, not just a bunch of sex and violence. I'll definitely get the rest of the series.

Great listen!!

If you're into this type of genre then this is a great listen. The author writes a great story and the narrator is the best I've heard, yet. Truly enjoyable!
