Sanctuary

Seeking Asylum Book 1

By: SM Olivier

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

I was once an average college student with dreams of the Olympics. A better future had been within my grasp. I was weeks away from graduating from college, and I had just received my invitation to the National Team. Sure, I was still nursing a broken heart and coming to terms with the betrayal delivered to me at the hands of people I once trusted and loved dearly. However, things were finally looking up. Or so I thought. The news began to report disturbing stories about a new virus. This virus was turning people. The infected became violent and attacking anybody and everybody. My plans for a relaxing weekend with my friends and family turned into a nightmare. We were told to evacuate to Sanctuary. On our journey to safety, I run into old friends and find myself becoming attracted to them and their friends. I realized that even in the most harrowing of times, I could find solace and affection. This may be a whole new world and life wasn’t going to return to normal anytime soon, if ever, but at least I had five men at my side to face it with. *** Sanctuary is a contemporary, post-apocalyptic reverse harem, why choose series. This book contains some triggering content that may be sensitive to some readers. ***

AI narration bad!

I wish I had known it was AI narration before I bought all the audiobooks! Any time there was a dash “-“ anywhere in the book (and there are A LOT) the AI read “minus” which totally threw me out of the story.

good story narration boring

the voice is so boring makes hard to listen to So even toned had to rewind lots cuz I zoned out.

great story. can't stand AI

I love this series, and if read it more than once. I couldn't wait for it to be on audible. im Disappointed by the use of virtual voice. The virtual voice is pleasant enough to listen to but doesn't "understand" what its reading. For example, the dash symbol is read as "minus" and when the character's name of Avery is shortened to Ave it's read as "Avenue". There also very little emotional inflection in the voice and no changes in voice between characters.

Favorite series

My only complaint is I wish it was an actual voice actor and not virtual. I’ve reread this series over 5 times and can’t wait for bk 5!

Great story

I have read the book and wanted to revisit it on audible. I didn’t hate the ai voice. The “dash”. Was annoying. It’s better than having siri read it to me. Anyway I love this story.
