Nice surprise.

I've had this book on my Wishlist for ages and decided to take a leap of faith while on a "book hangover" from the end of a favourite series. WOW am I glad I did! This book had everything that ticks my boxes, excellent story and world building, awesome narrator that does male and female characters well and lots of action. Well worth the credit.

I LOVED EVERY SINGLE CHAPTER, PARAGRAPH & WORD

To say my library's got a good share of Shifter books in it would be an understatement...... but I think this is absolutely THE BEST of all of them. It introduces you to a host of loveable characters who all get entwined in a really enjoyable and entertaining plot that's got everything I was looking for.

In this first taste of the fresh were-world it's very much character driven and you can't help but feel part of their world as you get to know each of them and what part they all play in this new community. Dual POV's and the Narrator did a FANTASTIC job in bringing all of events and characters to life.

Worth a credit? Oh boy is it ever, I loved it and I'm desperate for the next instalment which will be an auto buy for me.

Am I the only one?

I thought this one would have been better if it were shorter. I just got board with how slow it moved and never really related or like the main characters. I tried to speed up the narration and even that did not help, everyone else seems to love it, I wish I had, but it just was not for me.

Perfect Paranormal Series. LISTEN NOW

What made the experience of listening to Seven Years the most enjoyable?

This review is for the whole series

CHARACTERS- lovable and respectable
STORY- great pacing, romance, action, adventure, kidnappings, mysteries....
SEX- not too much, not too little and well performed
PERFORMANCE- dynamite (and I'm picky).

What about Nicole Poole’s performance did you like?

Nicole Poole is a great narrator. I hated her voice for the first 10minutes and at times the recording quality wasn't dynamite, but then a bit further into the book she BLEW ME AWAY. Her male voices are especially great. They are each unique and distinguishable but also not over the top and annoying. Her acting is terrific as well. When I listen I am completely immersed.

Any additional comments?

Dannika Dark makes the paranormal aspects of this story really great. There are a lot of books that explore the dynamics within wolf packs, but she makes the family dynamics in this pack very "real". The alpha males aren't so alpha-y that you want to smack them and say "get over yourself". They respect their women but also are macho in that sexy way you gotta love.

The author also added new types of paranormal characters that I've never heard of before and they really work. I'd highly recommend listening to the series about Mages, the first is titled Sterling. It will give more background info that intertwines nicely with these books. Also, the relationship the paranormal world has with the human world seems more believable in these books than others out there.

THAT DAMN LEAN!!!!

I was soo excited when I realized this book was coming to audible. I read Seven Years when it first was published and instantly feel in love with the story. Dannika writes a captivating story full of suspense, sexual tension, action and romance. Lexi Knight is a 27 year old adult that has been working the same job, in a candy story, for the last seven years. She also has been living in the same town since she can remember. Seven years ago, her world was changed forever when her older brother, Wes, was killed in a car accident and her father decided to leave her mother, her newborn sister and Lexi without a look back. In the midst of this crisis, Wes' best friend Austin, who has been like a big brother to Lexi, suddenly leaves after Wes's funeral without so much as a good bye to his adopted family. Seven years later, Lexi is struggling with her love life, trying to help her mom with Maisie and trying to figure out what she wants in her life when Austin walks back into the picture, with that damn lean, and turns Lexi world right side up. Buried secrets from the past finally come to light and Lexi begins to understand who she is, exactly where her life is meant to go and who she is ultimately meant to be with.

Nicole does an excellent job of telling the story with as much passion and intrigue as Dannika put into the story. To saw the next book, Six Months, is already an automatically download for me is an understatement. I hope it comes to audible soon.

IMO, buy buy buy. I know you will enjoy this book.

Disappointed😞

I think the story had potential but there were a few annoyances that will probably prevent me from continuing the series. The narrator did a great job with everyone’s voices except the main character. For some reason she sounded too old to be just 28. The main character also seemed really weak and made bad decisions when it came to defending/ taking care of herself. And then, which is a huge thing for me. How is there only one weak a** sex scene at the end of the book?!?! And that scene is so “unsexy” that you can actually skip it... So disappointing! At least it was a part of the romance package so I didn’t spend a credit for this. Just wasted my time unfortunately.

By the end, I just didn't care

Potential, didn't pan out. Narrator only had one character that she did well. I got bored and found nothing redeeming in any of the characters. Like I said, in the end, I just didn't care what happened to any of them. Female lead was weak & whiny, males were inconsistent and not very strong. I was not happy with the overall experience.

5 Seven Years Stars

Hmm this is my 4th re listen? Or more who knows. But I never reviewed this book because I didn’t think I could put into words how this book sparked my love of shifters.

Lexi is a character who isn’t sure of who or what she is, but throughout the book she gets the shock of a lifetime. But it’s more than that. She learns who she is and what she is.

She doesn’t accept it right away because it’s so far out of her realm of normal. But she knows deep down that what everyone is saying is true.

She is insecure of herself throughout a lot of this book. And sometimes I found her to be childish for a 28 year old, but what I liked is that Austin for all his awesomeness never once makes her feel childish.
He allows her to feel what she feels and for her to come to conclusions on her own.

I think I liked that best. I also love all the characters in this book, you get the sense of family and friends and that’s pretty cool.
Each character has a place and that place is within the pack/family. I love this series because of that each time I re listen I find new things I love.

This time it was how Denver takes a stance and is so very protective of Maze, but it was when he got jealous, that little step back he takes is what I loved about this listen. He is will to do what it takes for Maze. I Loved that.

I can’t say enough great things about Nicole Poole’s narration. She brings these characters to life in ways I have never heard before. She has a voice for every character in a way that its natural and effortless and that can’t be easy when you have so very many characters.

Fabulous book, amazing listening, definitely a must listen.

*You don't have to like my review but its 100% my opinion, and I am allowed to have it.*

decent story

The story was good. Not the best, but decent. I think the most difficult part was the narrators voice. She did a good job overall, but I just could not picture how the story described Lexie in the story with that voice. It sounded too old for a 27 year old.
