Not as good as the others

Okay it's still a good book but it's not as good as the others.
I feel like you wouldn't get half of it if you haven't read the spin off.. And that shouldn't be.
Also I HATE what they did with Kieran he should have had his own love interest!
And Casteel idk.. I liked he got his own narrator now but not sure of their choice of narrator. And he seems like a side piece that only has sex on his brains which I'm pretty sure he does cause he is who he is.. But his depth and his character seems somehow neclected in this book. Which I'd actually also say about Kieran.

Very mixed feelings about these books

Many times I had to skip forward as some of the conversations made me cringe 😅🤣 sometimes it felt like 12 years old talking to each other ( even though some of them are hundreds of years old or more) and then the sex scenes were so bad, I just couldn't listen to this. The first book was ok ish, but after that the last 3 I was questioning myself why I am still listening to them, probably because I bought them in advance 😅
there were some good bits and the story actually evolved, some lines made me laugh, so I gave it 3 stars, but I wont be reading or listening more of her books.

It's okay

The story line picks up but its slow. The sex scenes are cringe and unnecessary. I'll listen to the series just to know how it ends but I'm not a fan.

Love this book

It was amazing, even if slow at times, I really like it flowed and change, as well as the wealth of information that we got. The way Kieran and Poppy got closer and relied on each other for strength and support during Cas’s captivity was beautiful and completely fine. That ending was quite something.
The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is that Stina did make a lot of mistakes with names etc. despite that I still love her performance.

Wow - just wow

Struggling for words to describe exactly how much I enjoyed this book. Fourth in the series, with incredibly written twisting plot, answering many questions and raising too many more. It’s outstanding, what we all have come to expect from Jennifer L Armentrout. It left me breathless with joy and anticipation, filled with anxiety and rooting for the characters until the last page. The narration made the book even better for me. Thoroughly and most highly recommended.

Loved it!

This book delivered on all my expectations! I can’t wait for ASITE2 now. My only criticism of the recording is that the narrator cannot pronounce the word “entombed” which crops up a lot and as she voices all the characters no one can pronounce it properly - it’s always “entuumed” rather than “entoomed” which kept breaking me out of the moment. The actual story and the rest of the narration was on point and a joy.

Okay story (spoilers in review)

I liked this story but being honest it did really drag and I had to encourage myself to keep going.

Once Castieel was rescued(2 3rds through) it picked up and the pace quickened.

Someone described this book as a giant puzzle with different people bringing different pieces the whole time and it's true. it felt at times they had all the information they needed then curve balls would arrive with the next visitor.

I loved the story from Castieels point of view, that voice actor reading the story (x chefs kiss x ).

Of course chapter 44 is the big one that we are all waiting for. it was very good but felt it was missing something. With a huge build up over the last 2 books of joining I felt like more of that was needed. but then I am biased as I prefer the wolf over the Atlantian any day!

Worth a read to get a satisfyingish middle / ending to current dramas if you love the characters. although I am not in a rush to read the next when it comes out as don't feel so devoted to the story anymore.

Absolutely amazing!

This book is just absolutely amazing. I never write reviews but for this book I had to. Beautiful story, funny, sexy, just amazing.
And narrator is the best one ever. I wish all books could be narrated like this.

Action and Passion.

The story was amazing as usual, just as what I have been accustomed to listening to this beautiful series. I think Poppy's character development has been deep and 'intriguing'. I adore the racey passionate sexy scenes too.

This is made perfect by Stina Nielsen's incredible talent to change her voice for the mood, the characters and whatever else that is needed to help you immerse yourself and be riding that emotional train alongside Poppy, Casteel and Kieran but I was really disappointed with Tim Campbell.

Having Stina Nielsen voice Cas up until this point when Tim Campbell came to narrate the Cas point of view chapters it is very jarring. He unfortunately just doesn't have the same emotional range that brings the characters to life and when he voices Poppy, it sounds mocking. Cas comes across as shallow in his thoughts almost like those chapters were written by a completely different person.

Luckily the majority is narrated by Stina N. and the emotion shines through her amazing performance and the writing.
