Terrible accents and narration.

This book would be excellent just as a book, I’m looking to download the kindle versions but I’d never try audible in this series again! The accents were diabolical! It made me cringe every time the narrator put on the ‘Scottish’ accent! Please change narrator

Great book to listen too

This audio is still captivating even though you are listening to someone else telling the story. The book is outstanding and awesome characters, I would recommend this audio

Jumping right into the next

This was a great start to a series. I'm already hooked and hopeful that the next is just as good. If you are into fantasy and reverse harem you will not be disappointed. Victoria Mei is outstanding. She brings her A game as usual. Worth the credit

Cute, has some tease to it, lacks world building

This is a fun, light romantic fantasy. Leralynn is at the center of everything but the guys each bring something to the table too. Tye is a constant flirt but could also be a best friend. Coal is that assassin we all wished we had on our side. Shade has more personality in his wolf shape but I can see him developing with the series. River strikes me as a good leader of the team sometimes, but sometimes he reads more like a dominant alpha.

The characters were the strongest part of this book even with their flaws. The men were all perfectly formed, which can be both breath taking (initially) and a little boring (with time). We have a damaged hero in waiting, another could be an alpha ass if things swing too far that way, another a silly goof, and the last takes us into Furry territory. Lera was OK. I wanted a bit more from her. I can see how she can develop into a solid character later in the series, but right now she can be any woman and therefore, is a kind of Mary Sue for any reader who wants to be the center of attention for these 4 guys.

The world building and magic system both lacked in details. There is a little chipping into the magic system as the story unfolds, especially once we meet the second female character in the story (Autumn’s trying to figure out the details of what binds quints). Then there’s Clarissa who adds a bit of danger to the situation. The world is painted with a broad brush, so if you’re worried you’d get lost in lots of made up Fantasy names and don’t want to consult a map, then you’d probably like this aspect. Me, I like unique place names and maps. The magic still leaves me feeling like it’s a plot device and not a fully integrated part of the story.

I wanted a quest. Yep. I know. Quests are for grim dark shady characters or teenage D&D players. Yet, I really wanted one here. I think it’s because the world building and magic system were so weak. The initial idea of getting somewhere vague to have this quint bond release Lera lacked urgency and definitely had a back seat to the lusts floating around our merry little band. Basically, I needed something just as strong as the budding romance (insta-lust) to balance things out.

I really liked Lidell’s Air and Ash but this is a different creature. It’s cute. 3.5/5 stars.

The Narration: Victoria Mei did a pretty good job. She had distinct character voices for everyone and her male voices were usually believable. Her pacing was good too. She did sometimes put this odd significance to a word here or there that didn’t make sense. I felt like each character in turn was giving out attitude in a valley girl kind of way at some random moment. I did love her accent for Tye. There were no technical issues with this recording. 4.5/5 stars.

I received this audiobook as part of my participation in a blog tour with Audiobookworm Promotions. The tour is being sponsored by Alex Lidell. The gifting of this audiobook did not affect my opinion of it.

Fantastic start to a series

I love Power of five! I’ve previously read the whole series but enjoy it so much I decided I wanted to listen to the audiobooks as well. This steamy RH fantasy has great description that submerse you into the story with a brilliant balance of thrilling fantasy and hot naughtiness. The start to the series will leave you wanting more and from experience I can say it’s worth going through the whole series.
The only thing with the audio I would of preferred is if there was a male narrator doing the voices for the men, even though she does them well I think it would make a great difference for the male characters to be given a more rugged voice.

Great story

I really loved this story. It was an incredibly strong start to a series. You get into the characters immediately and the story line has plenty of action and intrigue to keep if moving at a fast pace.
I cant wait for the rest of the series as i love these characters!! The book is interesting, action packed and sexy!!
Loved it.
The narration was really good but i wasnt keen on Tyes accent.

Good listen

I enjoyed the story line, be warned this is a fast burn R.H., which I like. I liked the difference in all the male characters, and I thought the narrator done a great job with all the different voices and accents. I also liked the way she read the story it flowed really well. overall I enjoyed the book and I am looking forward to listening to the rest of the series. Audiobook obsessions reviewer.

Interesting

Took me a bit to get into the story. From the beginning it was something new and it was a very refreshing plot. Next thing I new the story was over and I was shocked! I was completely absorbed with the Quintet. A great start to this RH series. #audiobookobession 🎧

Fantastic start to series!

Amazing world building, fantastic story, and great characters make up this great RH listen. Loved listening to this and can’t wait for the next part! Amazing narrator as well, she really brought the characters and story to life. I received a free review copy of this audiobook at my request and I have voluntarily left this review. 🎧AudiobookObsessionReviewer
