I had originally bought all the ebooks for this series, but then a friend in one of my book groups recommended the audio version. And I'm ever so glad she did!!

I'm a sucker for monster smut, and A Soul to Keep stroked all the right spots. Reyne does a good job mixing fantasy with erotica, and the voice actors Hoffman and Milliken did a really great job. Their chemistry was good and didn't come across as super cheesy, they did fairly good keeping the various voices separate, and they made sure to vary the tones so it wasn't monotonous.

I thought Reyne's world-building was interesting and the concept intriguing. I'm looking forward to the next books in the series, although I'm sad that only the first two books are available as audiobooks.
