About this listen

Stalker or vampire?

The choice is yours, but if you make the wrong one….

You die.

He’s spent months watching my every move. Stalking me from the shadows, waiting for the right moment.

When he strikes, I’m not ready.

I’m surrounded by strangers, and far from anyone who might have cared, or at the very least, noticed if I suddenly disappeared.

He’s closing the distance, leaving me with a terrifying choice: take my chances with my stalker, or seek help from a monster more powerful than him. Making the wrong choice could cost me my life.

Risking it all, I throw myself at an extraordinarily handsome stranger. A stranger who just happens to be a vampire. He also happens to be the crown prince of vampires, and he’s disgusted by humans.

I haven’t even been bitten yet, and my life already sucks.

It’s too late to rethink my plan, and I’m out of options. I beg the stranger to claim he knows me.

Instead, the vampire claims me.

But my stalker isn’t ready to admit defeat, and the vampire I sought refuge with isn’t willing to let me go.

A stalker. A vampire. A choice that might end my life.

SLTL is a new series by Sedona Ashe, writing under Darci R. Acula. This series focuses on Journee and her vampire mate (yes, this series has only one guy! Don’t worry, he’s absolutely drool-worthy). This story has it all: a stalker, coming into power, vampire royalty, a protective mate, humor, heat, and eventually a HEA. For my naughty listeners, this book is a medium burn that’s worth the wait…and you better be ready, because once they get started, things really get spicy! Journee's vampire mate falls in love with her the moment he meets her and will do anything to protect what is his.

Note: Please be sure to check out the full sensitivity note before diving into this story. With a violent, obsessed stalker and a protective vampire prince with a beast-like form, some scenes are a bit wild and include darker elements (such as physical violence during attack scenes).

Was strange to start with no context but as the story unfolded it became one of my favourite books this year and the little twists are perfect can't wait for book 2

I enjoyed this more than I expected to. It had a roller coaster of emotions. From heat/fun to disgust/fear

It's a first to read a book with a stalker who isn't morally grey and the toxic behaviour being endearing in an unhinged way. This stalker has all the vibes you hope to never come across. I feel so bad for Journey, the fear anxiety and horror are written well enough to echo in me. Sadly I read some comments which ended up victim shaming her. Yes she's fictional, but would you say the same things to a real woman, would you question why she didn't go to the police when the stalker left gifts and that could be used as proof... if I were her, it probably wouldn't occur to me either, she's in constant flight to survive mode! Logical and hindsight thinking isn't easy at the best of times!

Anyway rant over, back to the book. There is more to the plot than a soul bond. There's acceptance, unknown heritage, duty and threats. Oh and monster smut, just a bit in this book as it's medium burn. But also hot!

While there are plot holes, the characters for me are entertaining and Jo and Zyon are cosy, the bond making the relationship speed up tenfold and their acceptance making me hope for a HEA. Even if the ending of book 1 suggests otherwise 😬

Written in POV of the FMC, MMC and stalker. A vampire human soul bond spicy medium burn book. 3.7 stars

Better than expected

Interesting premise ruined by instalove. It just feels so unearned when main characters get together in this way. Not many books start off strong like this, so it was disappointing. The amount of adjectives used to describe her when she met the MMC is unnecessary and it made me roll my eyes so often my lens popped out. I guess it is okay for a free book. Might make it through to the end since I hate leaving series unfinished.

I dislike instalove
