Toxic: As you found in the second book Slade’s life just turned upside down when he finds out the truth about his ex and her sister. What about Vanessa boyfriend isn’t he something, oh he has plans for Chelsey but Slade has her back or will he be too late?
Ms. Kelly does a wonderful job narrating from her wonderful character voices to the delightful emotions she puts into her audios. Her male and female voices are very good, you always know who is talking and what they are feeling. You can hear the emotions that each character is going through as well as the fear, happiness, confusion and sorrow. There are no background noise, no repeating of words, no volume changes. If any breaks were taken I could not tell. I always knew who was talking, what they are feeling. She really brought the characters to life pulling me in and painting a picture I could see in my mind. I could really hear the desperation in Chelsey’s voice and the powerful emotions that Slade has. This is a very clean, clear audio that is very realistic that you almost feel like you are watching a movie, the characters feel real even though we know they do not exist I found myself watching out the window expecting to see one. I really enjoyed how she shows the sparks flying between these two as their feeling and confusion grow you are pulled in. The narrator makes them feel like they are family. I totally enjoyed listening to this audio.
I listened to the boxset so this part of the review is on it as a whole. Loved the plot, the story line feels real as well as the characters. I really didn’t want it to end and I do hope the author is planning on writing more in this series. When Chelsey said one day she would find and deal with the woman that turned her world upside down I was think you go get her, but I totally understood that now is not the time she has things she must deal with first as she starts her new life with Slade. The way the character said it made me feel there will be more added to this series and I for one can’t wait. I loved the supporting characters they add so much to this series. Many things happen, a lot of twists and turns that are exciting, some will have your throat in your mouth, making your heart beat faster and wanting to get in on the fight yourself. He steam is hot some very hot sex scenes that will heat you up. The danger is real as well as the excitement. It was a very hard audio to put down I needed to find what happened next. There wasn’t anything I didn’t love about these stories. It was well written you can tell a lot of thought went into the writing as well as the narration. I hope you pick it up and give it a listen you are in for one thrilling ride.
This story and it was good. It left me wanting to know what would happen in the next story because this one ends with a major cliffhanger. The characters were funny and entertaining although there were times that I wished they acted a bit more mature. Melody was a little annoying at times. I love Liam’s playfulness, he keeps things light and funny. I thought that Chelsey and Melody definitely took the news of the loss of their parents well. They cried a few tears and it was like oh well. There’s some secrets that are revealed when it comes to Talia, her sister Vanessa and Lucian. This story has a bit of a twist to it because in this one, vampires are able to fly. It’s a crazy and cool aspect at the same time. I’m looking forward to the next book in this series.
Slade (Venom #2) was another good read by Kristen Middleton. Chelsey finds herself on the run from Faye and the Night Roamers. She is on the run with Slade but isn’t sure if she can really trust him. I enjoyed reading this book and can’t wait to read more by the author.
Enjoyable somewhat original series. Entertaining enough to keep me reading….
