I had originally tried to listen/read this toward the end of May, but Bob (another platypire) went into labor early and I was so completely out it that even though I'd read through half of the book - I hadn't retained a thing. I couldn't even tell you one single name. (The baby was fine after a small complication, and she's doing well) I knew I'd need to start it over.
And then my phone broke. The sound on it was kaput. So it would be over two months before I could give it another shot.
Much of this story is engaging, and written in a way that paints vivid pictures. There are some issues though, mostly with the constant change of POV and its wordiness. There was more filler bits than I would have preferred.
I did felt that Rebecca Cook did a fantastic job with the narration of this story, and I especially loved her many accents. She definitely helped keep me going in the story when it became harder to read.
It isn't what I expected And I say that in a good way. That's mostly thanks to the different types of villains. Also there's a good portion of sex in this book. Not really my thing, but it was done tastefully.
I do recommend this to people more into more unique paranormal stories.
Book: 3.5 platypires
Narration 4 platypires
