The Mighty Hunter

a good listen, main female character is too much

Where does The Mighty Hunter rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Hard to answer as i have listen to so many. This has a good story line. It is well performed not just read. The characters are well developed and the main female totally irritated me.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Mighty Hunter?

I think when the ship went down and Hunter saved her by breathing for her and taking her to his world.

Have you listened to any of Rebecca Cook’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Not that i am aware of but she did very well, even with the male characters.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Yes, i wanted to strangle the main female. The lack of acceptance of where she was and what her life would be now, becomes old. She appears to lack common sense too.

Any additional comments?

Ms Pillow has a tenancy to create female characters that are very defiant and it goes on and on in this book. This is not the first book she has written that I wished to strangle the main female. It reminds me of spoiled brats with no common sense. Yes, you have a scientist, she is unbelieving or unaccepting of what she is told, runs off too see for herself. Stubborn, yes. A little of this goes a long way. Yes i will continue reading Ms. Pillow but i wish she would create a different personality for her main female character.

yes to the mighty hunter

It was great to be back listening to Ms. Cook. Love the voices she gave the characters and emotional delivery of the story. My fave voice in this story is the one she gave to Caderyn, also the one she gave the Queen.
The story is a different take on the Mer myth and loved delving into Ms. Pillow's world of the Abyss. Great world building, engaging characters and suspense mixed with romance. It was a great journey following Bridget's introduction to a world she belongs to but didn't know it even existed. Luckily she has Caderyn even though he sometimes blunders and so does she, the times when she doesn't listen and puts herself in danger, but it all works out in the end. There are quite a few surprises and twists along the way. Great supporting characters, Caderyn's sister, Merka made me laugh with her youthful exuberance.
The author has a way with words that will hook you and will definitely bring me back to this world again and again. I can't wait to listen to the next one.

Wanted to love but couldn't

I loved Michelle Pillow Dragon Lords and Lords of the Var Series but I couldn't really get into this one. I wanted to, but it seem like all of her books have the same theme and I was just tired of the same plot. If I listed to this one first maybe I could of finished the book.

Sexy mermen and whiney women - possible spoilers

I was a little nervous about this book because some other reviews say the heroine is a bit whiney, but I gave it a shot anyway. I have to say that I agree, the heroine can be whiney, doesn't accept her situation, and even when she *says* she does, really she doesn't. All that said, I continued on with the story because despite the heroine being a little impulsive and making some really stupid decisions, the rest of the story was alright. Michelle Pillow excels at her love scenes and heroes being super sexy men. There is no question that this book is intended for mature audiences only, because, wow, just wow. The hero unfortunately conforms to some of the typical devices employed for "fish out of water" stories (yes, pun intended heh). He doesn't tell the heroine what is going to happen to her, doesn't communicate with her, and doesn't really explain much of the dynamics of where they are. I have seen this in alien races, paranormal shifter books and now, mermen books. I gave this book a 3 star overall review, but I'd really like it to be a 3.5. The narrator Rebecca Cook was very good, even though she sounds a bit like Allison Janney at times.

Hot!!

Not a good book to hear at work, haha!! Dang this book has HEAT!! This is a great book to start off the introduction to the Mer People. I will be reading more in this series.

How Mermaids are Born

I really like the audible with the emotions by voice, can picture the story like a movie.
Back ground sounds added would give it a movie quality to it. Hope to hear that and maybe some music during the reading of a story. Even without it, I wish all the books had audible.

Cool Mer World with a Hot Romance

Would you consider the audio edition of The Mighty Hunter to be better than the print version?

The narrator did an excellent job, and brought the story to life.

Which character – as performed by Rebecca Cook – was your favorite?

Caderyn is my favorite. The performance for him brought out his strength and his bit of childish wonder.

Any additional comments?

Full Review -


I loved that this book is about Mer people! It was awesome that the setting was in a city deep in the ocean, and I liked the story that went along with why the Mer are there. Bridget is a scientist on a boat, who has dreams of studying the deep sea, when her boat is attacked, and she is taken to an underwater city by a Merman named, Caderyn. Caderyn is a fine Mer specimen, but Bridget is really unsure about being in this Mer kingdom. Caderyn feels an attraction to Bridget, and has hopes that Bridget will choose him to be mates with. Bridget doesn't handle any of this well, and I was really getting ticked off at how inconsiderate she is, and for a scientist, she makes a lot of stupid decisions, assumes way too much about how she is going to be treated without any evidence to make her think that way, and flies off the handle, so she comes across as bitchy and rude. Caderyn does put her in her place at times, which I was definitely happy about! She definitely needed to be brought down a peg. That's really my only critique, well, there is also all the butt talk that I could've done without, and also the pleasure nymph scene; I would've been happier if it was just eluded to, but the rest of the book was interesting and fun. The sex scenes were hot, and it was lots of fun to see how the Mer people live, and it was cool to see the landscapes in the Mer world. I like that there is a bit of adventure in this book, and the story is unique. Caderyn is a sweetheart, who is a Saint for putting up with Bridget. Bridget does have her moments, and Caderyn and her do have some really sweet moments. This is the first book I have read by Michelle M. Pillow, and I would love to read more! I'm looking forward to the next book in this series! I also listened to the audiobook of this story, and I think the narrator did an excellent job! She even did the moans during the sex scenes!

A little cheesy but a good read

I enjoyed this book although at times I wanted to strangle the two main characters. I would recommend this book.

Something lurks under the Sea.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes I would . Why? Majority of my friends love paranormal and hot romance.

What other book might you compare The Mighty Hunter to and why?

I have only read one other series with merman. And it was nothing like this one.

Have you listened to any of Rebecca Cook’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes. Rebecca does a fantastic job of narrating.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I tried but it's a little long. But it is so good

Any additional comments?

I was gifted this audible for my honest review.
