Hunted by Shadows

Shadowborn, Book 1

By: Erin O'Kane

Narrated by: Anais Inara Chase

They say not to jump at shadows. That's all well and good, but what if you are being hunted by one?

Tying to escape her past, Ari is working to atone for her actions and have a normal human life. The only problem with that? She isn't human. Unlike most werewolves, she avoids as much contact with the supernatural world as possible, building a life for herself in the human world.

Until one day her past catches up with her, and she is forced to immerse herself in the supernatural world. Offered protection from the local wolf pack, she is forced to accept it, but nothing in the supernatural world comes for free.

For highly independent lone wolf Ari, this is her worst nightmare, especially as several Alpha males start vying for her affections. Ari will have to decide whether her independence is more important to her than her life.

Contains mature themes.

average, poor continuity.

seriously problems with the story telling.. one second she is seriously injured, the next she is surprised by her injuries. world building is terrible. reactions are unrealistic. but it's something to listen to while I do chores. the voice actor is very good at least.

Long winded and repetitive

I took a chance on this and regretted it. Most of the narrative is the heroin's internal dialogue which is very repettive. (Spoiler) She spends so much time saying she can protect herself and she is a powerful alpha, that it really surprising when she gets beaten up at every turn and needed help healing. The other thing I found extremely annoying is the fact that she seems to be attracted to almost every single man she encounters. Annoying story/protagonist, not worth the credit.

Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ, is the narrator trying to make her have an accent or talk like a baby? because half the time she sounds like me (someone with no experience speaking with an accent that isn't shorthorn) and the other half it's like she's a 3 year old.

also, how thick is this narrators saliva because geez. All I could hear is a dog eating peanut butter when we opened her mouth. yuck.
