The Sun Child

DID NOT FINISH: 34%

It went too off the rails for me. As though the author was trying for a “what if the Darkling was not the villain but the morally gray guy we wish he was?” I knew it was time to stop.

I actually listened to an ALC of this. Highly recommended it too. Michelle Sparks, Aiden Snow, and Corvin King were new to me narrators. But it won’t be my last time with them. Grayson Owens and Aaron Shedlock were narrators I’ve listened to before and truly enjoyed. It was nice to hear Shedlock and Owens together again in this multicast duet of Bam Clemton’s book.

Michelle is amazing as Meyer. She brings so much emotion to her performance! Corvin played Lennox and Theo. His Theo was definitely sounded like a 19 year old. But his Lennox took me out with the gravely voice and played him to perfection. Grayson played a senior hunter and ranger as well as Valen. All three voices were very different from each other and I loved to hate some of them. Aaron was a ranger as well as Creed and as usual he delivered with both! While Aiden’s main role as Rasar had few words, but he did a whole lot with them.

Meyer is a gal just trying to live her life in a quiet little town when suddenly the monsters she’s only seen in her dreams show up in her reality. Before she knows it she’s whisked away to Canada to train as an Umbra Hunter in the Regalis Bloodlines. It’s here she encounters brothers Lennox, Creed, and Razar all in her bloodline. She’s expected to train as a Ranger and one day become a Hunter.

But Meyer also has discovered a man in her dreams and isn’t sure how he got there or why he’s there named Valen. So many questions that no one wants to answer for her. But here she is thrust into the fray between humans and monsters. She is not having a good time or is she?

This is a found family, paranormal, slow burn, reverse harem novel which ends on one heck of a cliffhanger! I highly recommend it for sure!!
