I read the first few books a while back, like when they were first released, they were just meh then. I figured I would give it another shot. Great decision. I tried the audio editions of the books, spectacular decision. I found a few new narrators to enjoy, newer to enjoying audiobooks, and a new favorite books series.

 

Everytime there was a new narrator for one of these books I would cringe when I first heard their voices. I was worried it would ruin the story for me. It didn't, I enjoyed each of their reading styles, some more than others, but an all around positive experience. I must say I find that I hard time adjusting to new narrators when they switch mid series, like I get lost in the different pronunciations, reading speeds. I didn't have that with these. I must say that at first I did not like the first narrator's southern accent much in the beginning of the first book, but she grew on me.

 

I love the world these books are set in. There is so much to read about. So many awesome and fantastical elements to the story. The way the world works is nothing short of being one of the most interesting concepts I have read within the genre, urban fantasy. This isn't a place I would want to live in, but it sure is one I love to read about.

 

I used to not enjoy books about the Fae, but after reading these books and also the A Court if Thorns and Roses books I have very much changed my opinion. I now seek out books with them as a major part of the story. 

 

I read some of her Highlander books a while ago, thinking I may give then another read soon, while these books are still fresh in my mind. 

 

Does anyone know if any other series that follows the same characters and storyline throughout the series that has Fae characters? Preferably as the main, or one of the main focusses. I have read these, A Court of Thorns and Roses, and tried Merry Gentry books. I got bored with the Gentry books, has anyone read them? And do they get better after the first three installments?

I want to read a romance. I kept getting confused on this book if this was the girl who wanted her cherry popped--but no, that was the other KMM series I read. So the voice? It's not different. And it comes down to this little fact: I have no inclination to read 9 books in this character's voice. I don't care how sexy it is. I'm really glad I left that review for the first one, which could've just read like my first couple pages of this:
"I don't know you guys."

(I know, It does sound like I'm convincing myself.)
I still don't know. I never will. No time, patience, or inclination. DNF, 12% no rating.

My second reread already! (Ergo: it's a must read :) )

Everyone gives these books great ratings but I just don't like the MC. I think she is self righteous, when she has no reason to be. I also can't stand her thing with cursing. I understand not having a character curse and that's totally cool. But why does she have to replace ass with petunia... WHY!!! It dove me insane the entire book. She's not freaking 12 years old just have her say butt instead of ass. I will probably read the rest of the series just because I do very much enjoy the story. I need to know what happens next. I just really really hate Mac. I love Barrons just not MAC.

I can really see why this series is so popular. MacKayla is the type of character that just about anyone can relate to, and I love her attitude with all the crazy crap going on around her. A couple mysteries are solved in this one, but a million more are presented.

Baron's is just as mysterious as ever, if not more so, and I'm still wondering what his real motives are. V'lane seems to be playing nice, or at least trying to, but you can never really tell with the fae. But he definitely adds an important element to the story. Not quite danger, but it could turn that way very quickly.

There's some grossness, some sweetness, some breakdowns, and some enlightening moments. Such a fun story to just fall into. MacKayla's constant changing perspective continues to be more and more interesting.
