Review 1: Angels’ Blood – Guild Hunter Book 1 by Amazon Customer

Narrator is Definitely A Personal Preference

This storyline is so good and refreshing. I do not even know what to say about the narrator. Her voice has a lot of vibrato. She is not bad BUT different. There were times when I truly tried to get into the story and accept with an open heart and mind the shaky voice telling it. However, toward the end, I found it a real challenge to listen to the story without being distracted by the narrator’s unique voice.

This is one of those times when you either love her voice or hate it. Listen to a sample and take it from there. I really liked the story though.

Review 2: Angels’ Blood – Guild Hunter Book 1 by Kandice

Good, Not Remarkable

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Ok if you’re bored.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

I realized that I like my stories like the early Anita Blake novels- that is, driven by action with the romance there, but on the side. And that was my expectation going in. However, I found that this was more post-“Narcissus in Chains” where romance was in the driver’s seat and action seemed like an afterthought.

The whole first half of the story seemed to be just Elena and Raphael’s romance, which was well done, but left me thinking “you know, this whole delusional angel thing seems pretty important, so why has Elena done nothing but talk, hide, and almost have sex?” More importantly, though, I had a hard time believing that Elena was “the best there was” because aside from the opening scene and how Elena can smell vamps, she actually does very little until the second half. And she seems like she could use a little more wear-weariness and hardening. However, one thing I did enjoy was that the author creates a great world and there is a lot of depth to it. It seemed to take sooo much exposition, but it was very original.

OVERALL, while the plot was original and interesting, it at times just felt like an excuse for Rafa and Ellie to be together. It was a fun ride, but you definitely felt the bumps along the way. I have already purchased the second book because I did like the story and I want to see if goes a little more smoothly the next time around.

How could the performance have been better?

I’m used to listening to LibriVox recordings, so at first I thought Eyre did a pretty good job, but as I got more used to hearing her voice, I realized that I had a serious problem with it. She seems too prissy and so the scenes where Elena needed to have a lot of attitude came of as corny and grating. It felt like Eyre isn’t the type of person that naturally cusses much, so the curse words come out lacking conviction and sounding weird. I feel like the narrator was part of the reason why Elena didn’t come off as b.a. as she was supposed to be. However, I loved her range of accents.

Did Angels’ Blood inspire you to do anything?

Yes, it inspired me to go back to writing because I found myself craving something with a little more action and kick-butt-ery.

Review 3: Angels’ Blood – Guild Hunter Book 1 by Meghan M Jenkins

Hot, very hot.

Not having read anything but this Author, the reviews are what tempted me to give it a try. I am not a fan of cheesy romances or books of this genre that can be just one sexual escape after another. I mean, come on, how bout a page turning plot that happens to have a hot romantic story to it too. And this is what Singh delivers. This book is sexy and riviting with an interesting original take on the angel/vampire story. I found this writer much better than others like Christine Feehan or Karen Moning who i found utterly predictable and boring. Loved it. So much so that i went out and bought the second of the series (which was equally well written!) Shame on Audible for not carring more books from this series. i have every intention of looking into the psy/changling series by Singh through other vendors. You wont regret dropping a credit on this one.
