Love the book, but the narrator is sometimes cringe worthy..

I love young adult books and this series was amazing. One problem. I felt like my ears were bleeding from LISTENING TO THE NARRATOR SWALLOW CONSTANTLY. It LITERALLY made my ears hurt and I contemplated buying the actual book instead of listening. It was disgusting and she does it throughout the ENTIRE book.

Felt a little forced

I feel like this last book felt a little forced and drawn out. I had to put it down for a few month and then come back to it.

Fun book, but narrator needs water!

What made the experience of listening to Chosen at Nightfall the most enjoyable?

This series consistently entertains. The latest entry is no exception. I liked learning more about the chameleon supernaturals,

Who was your favorite character and why?

I've got a soft spot for wolf boy, Lucas

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

Take a sip of water!! Seriously, sometimes iI was cringing. The sound of her swallowing and trying to gather saliva is just gross, and it happens so often, my heating gets extra sensitive to it. If she did it, say, once or twice, I might not even notice. But it just. Gets. Gross. She had this happen on one or two other books in the series (can't remember which), though this may be the worst case. She was fine on the last book.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I like the love triangle; I'm a sucker for that stuff.

Any additional comments?

A big pet peeve of mine in this series is how amazingly often the author describes Kylie's feelings as a sensation happening in her chest or, more often, her heart. Just about everything "pulled on her heart strings" or "swelled up in her chest" or "squeezed her heart," and, oh yeah, her heart whispers to her all the time. It's a really busy heart. I'm amazed the editor or copy editor never pointed this out, the constant repetition of pretty much the exact same metaphor. Though maybe they did, and the author didn't want to listen...

A very disappointing last book to this series

I'm not one to usually write a review on the books I listen to, but this one has been so bad that I've to write something! Ok, the series haven't been outstanding or anything like that. They've been fairly entertaining and I found the original concept of the books to be interesting enough. But, in the last book, the main character goes from mildly annoying to completely and utterly ridiculous. Everyone's attention is focused on this girl who for some unexplained reason is repeatedly told: "you're the only one that matters" and is absolutely adored and defended by everyone around her. It's not like she's some female Harry Potter or Frodo, which I think is what the author is aiming to create, but the plot fails to be relevant enough for this girl to be the savior/protector of the magical, or human, world. Also, I'm sorry, but I fail to see how a 17 year old virgin can possibly know more than her own grown adult teachers about sex and contraception to the point that she is the one everyone goes for advice on this topic and she becomes so weirdly involved in the sex life of all those around her while her own love life is such a joke! I couldn't be bothered to listen to most of this book, I ended up falling asleep, and skipping to the end to know that much at least, but even then was mostly meh!

The narrator seriously needs to stop swallowing so loudly! yuck!

A pretty good story but the narrator needs a drink of water. Definitely a story about young adults. Worth the read.

Loved this book and the series

This was a great listen. There were great spots of action and lived the ending.

Pretty awesome

Sure it’s melodramatic. But the best books always are.
If you have mouth noise issues, get the actual book and read it. The editors did the narrator dirty. Every swallow every pause, is included in the audio version.
