Review: Undying by Corina Bishop

My Reviewsgood world and character building


Undying is a Sci-Fi Drama by Corina Bishop.

Read by Laura Jennings

Length: 15 hrs and 58 mins

HEA (Not to me)
Cliffhanger (I would be upset if this is where it ends)

This is not currently listed as a series, however, the ending leaves it set-up to be such. Some reviewers expressed their feelings to the ending as being able to count it as good enough to be a standalone, but I am not one of those people.

If you have a tender heart like me, you may want to skip this one.



♥ Story ♥

If you like Dystopian series like The Blaze Runner and Hunger Games then this is the book for you. This has good world and character building but it is not for me. It’s the reason why I can’t watch Walking Dead with my husband. I hate getting attached to characters only to have them ripped away.

I myself try to avoid having my heart rip out through my gut. That being said, it takes good writing and narration to be able to evoke those feelings in a reader. I had so much tension inside me listening to this that I wanted to vomit in the midst of my tears. Call me a baby and say I’m too soft, I know that I am!


Audio Sample from Audible


♥ Author ♥

This is my 1st read/listen by Corina Bishop. This is her only audio title. She writes memorable characters that I don’t feel like I got a good enough chance to enjoy. I would be hesitant to listen to any other works as this author likes to make me cry.
Corina Bishop has 01 title listed on Audible.


♥ Narrator(s) ♥

This is my 1st listen by Laura Jennings and she did such a good job that she made me cry. She really got the emotions of the scene across to me. I want to listen to more by her. She has voiced lots of titles, so I will have lots of opportunities!

Non-Fiction Read: Submissive Training: Read by Anneliese Rennie

My ReviewsGreat introduction to the Dom/Sub life.


This is a Non-Fiction title.

Read by Anneliese Rennie

Length: 1 hr and 49 mins

Lots of good information packed into this short listen on the Dominant and Submissive lifestyle, with emphasis on the Sub.


Audible Excerpt: Submissive Training


♥ Story ♥

Submissive Training introduces you to all the categories of the Dominant and Submissive relationship, and yes, there is more than one way to play. Most people tend to equate the Dom/Sub life to one way of doing things, but there is more than just safe words, hand cuffs, and spankings. I know it expanded my comprehension, and I knew a lot more than the average joe from all my years of reading romance and erotica. There are more than likely way more variations than are covered in this audiobook, but it will get you off on the right foot if this is something you are honestly wanting to learn about.

I would say that Submissive Training is aimed more at women than men, but that it could be used by any gender that is wanting to be on the Submission side of a Dom/Sub couple.

This is my 1st read/listen by More Sex More Fun Book Club. Their titles are all non-fiction with emphasis on BDSM. I like how they take a healthy approach to this subject with a clear focus on safety.

Review: The Dragon Of Destiny (Dragon Fever #2) By Serena Rose

My ReviewsDragon Fever From Another Realm!


The Dragon of Destiny is #02 of 03 in Dragon Fever Series by Serena Rose. All 3 are currently published with all of them being on Audible.

David Quimby narrates this title, however all three are performed by different artists.

HEA with no cliffhanger!

Aside from having a dragon shifter as a main character, I cannot see any other link between the three. This is my first in this series so I could be wrong. 🙂

Length: 4 hrs and 5 mins

Warning: SEX!
Yes, both in thoughts and actions, however, the words used are overly cutesy and downplayed, so it would be more middle of the road than anything. That being said, if you do not like sex at all, then you should avoid.

Trigger Warnings
None that I see.
Please let me know if you think there should be.


Audible Excerpt: The Dragon Of Destiny


♥ Story ♥

Adeen Cole ❤ Matthew LeMonde

This is a shifter romance, and its Dragons!

There is magic as well as other worldly beings. There is love learned and love lossed.

This asks the question that I see many artists deal with: Does it matter that you got there by your own merits? Does having a leg-up cheapen your true talent?


“I summon Adeen from the place of fire and dreams alongside our world.  Come to me, o’ Adeen, and make yourself known.”


Adeen Cole

Adeen is a Salamander from another realm. She has a long life span just like a shifter, but… she is… something more! You will have to listen or read to get the details, but just know she is special. She falls smitten with Matthew, a dragon and an artist.

Despite their mutual long lives, Adeen is still older than Mathew so there is a cougar vibe to the story. It shouldn’t matter as both of their species still look very youthful, but it seems to be a problem none the less.


“he’s not from around here.  He’s from the Draconis Islands.”


Matthew LeMonde

Matthew is a WereDragon, which is something that is out and known about in the human world. He is 23 and a computer game designer that paints on the side. He is having an art show when he first meets Adeen, and they hit it off quite quickly. Everything seems to be going perfect for Mathew, which is of course when it all manages to go completely wrong! His faith in himself and his trust in Adeen are questioned and he doesn’t cope well.



The Dragon Of Destiny definitely seems different from the other two books in the series. It’s more than the typical shifter type story. The over use of alternative terms for the sex parts and Adeen’s constant reference to Mathew as if he were a child makes for some awkward dialog. Despite the mythical pretenses of the story, it still resonates with reality. Most people have that job they do while they are striving to do what they ultimately want to do forever.

♥♥


The last conscious thought that she picked up from his mind before sleep took him was, I love you, Adeen.


♥ Author ♥

This is my 1st read/listen by Serena Rose, and I am definitely intrigued. I like the fresh take on the shifter love affair. I would for sure listen to more of this series as well as the author’s other work.

♥ Narrator(s) ♥

This is my 2nd listen by David Quimby and he did a great job with story. His female voices could use some polish, but that is not uncommon with Narrators of the opposite gender.

Read Along With Me: No Ordinary Billionaire Part 04

Read Along With Me @ Chapter 10


Stop!

He doesn’t want you to pay him back, he wants to take care of you!

 Just let him! 

Sheesh!


Um… Yeah… He’s your boyfriend!
You are just in denial!


Yeah, she may be analytical and thinking everything out, but she is still going to do something stupid.

I just feel it in my bones!


Why is Jarod so jaded?

I guess we will find out in the next book. #2 is Jarod’s.


@ Chapter 11


Beatrice and Elsie are a hoot!

I just love their little meddling hearts!


Dude, you know that everyone is right about giving opportunity for the attack.

It sucks, but if you want this to end, you are going to have to take the chance.


 

@ Chapter 13


Boy her mom is a piece of work!
I could see the want for her to marry well and to her mental level, but the comments about her scars were just mean, and so not what a mother should be saying to her daughter!

Makes me super angry!


Hope’s HEA is part of another series.

Billionaire Unmasked takes place between books 0.05 and 01 of The Sinclairs Series.


I’m so envious about the dance.

What is is about any kind of dancing that makes men the world over tremble in fear?

There is defiantly something she is hiding!

Raise you hand if you know where Dante is going to be working!

So there IS a backstory she is hiding! And Yeah! What happened in Chicago!

@ Chapter 08


Now we get the story!

Didn’t see the story going that way!
& So sad!

Listen to Dante!
Your stalker is going to find you eventually no matter where you go.
You are their obsession.

That’s why she didn’t want him to see her naked!
Duh!
Didn’t think about that.

If guys would just share their thoughts, there would be so many less fights/arguments!
