The Amazon's Curse

Good but could have been better

Let me start by saying I love Gena Showalter, and giving this 4 stars is so hard for me. I feel like I have just insulted a Goddess or slapped the Queen. From what I can tell, this was read off of the original ebook that was released a while ago and I was expecting it to be the same as it was when published in the book Into The Dark. When I email Gena about this, she told me that there was a word limit to the ebook and that she had lengthened the stories in Into The Dark which had no word count. Author's have no say as to which version is released on audio, I believe that is the publisher's choice. This would have been a lot better if the longer version had been done on audio, but that is only my opinion. The story is still very good.

This story starts where Vampire's Bride, book 4 in the Atlantis series leaves off. This novella features Zane, a vampire warrior and his hope to be love, Nola, a Amazon soldier.

Short ..... but sweet

Good romantic listen and what more do you want for $0.99. If you're a Showalter fan then you just can't miss this little gem.

A great read but too short..

I really loved this story and have to say that Zane is one of my favorite characters in the Atlantis series so far. The only thing I think was missing was length. I loved the characters and wish they had been developed more and given a longer story. If you like the Atlantis series though, this book is worth the read, not worth a credit but worth the $2.95 that I paid for it (due to length). I didn't really like the Narrator as you couldn't tell the males voices from the females, thankfully it was a short read.

Short but sweet!

After reading The Vampire's Bride, I was left wanting. This quenched my thirst for a bit.

okay

wasn't my favorite but not horrible. story moved well just a bit predictable if you like short stories then it's a good one

Loved it!!

I enjoyed this story very much. I would have liked it to be a little longer. But it is well worth the purchase ( under $3). I will listen to it again.

love this story.

very gripping...didn't want to stop listening.follows right along with the book before it..Vampire's Bride. can't wait to read more

cute short story

quick and to the point! loved the story glad it worked out between them Z&N

A good short story.

I picked this book up on a sale way back when and at the time I didn't realize it was a series. It has taken me a while to listen to it because I was going to buy the first book and read it. Well that hasn't happened yet, since they require a credit but it was so short I thought I will read this to see it the rest of the series would be worth it. I did liked the story enough that I will try it from the beginning. There are many references in this audio from the previous book that I think I would have enjoyed it more if I had read them in order, but it can stand alone if wanted. Narrator was pretty good.

eh...

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

No. It was boring. No where near as interesting as Gena Showalter's other stories.

Has The Amazon's Curse turned you off from other books in this genre?

Yes. Kinda.

How could the performance have been better?

I cannot say. I just didn't like the narrator. I don't necessarily think she did a bad job. I think Max Bellmore is the best narrator for Gena's books.
