I jumped straight into the second book after the first one pressed pause on my life for the night and day it took me to listen to it, and will be enjoying the anticipation build between the end of book 2 and the release of the third book. I so appreciate this way of sharing stories - rather than one person, one perspective - being able to engage with a variety of perspectives.

It was a pleasure to have just thoroughly enjoyed listening and sharing in/ moving through the inner worlds and perspectives of the whole cast of main characters. I loved each of their ‘natural’ voices which felt perfectly masculine and feminine to my ears and experienced not even one moment of irritation at their performance or depiction of the different characters (rare for me).

Harding Series: The Year of the Wolf, Book 1 Length: 12 hrs and 34 mins Release date: 02-02-21 Language: English 1,402 ratings Regular price: 39. In my humble and subjective experience, the narrators did an impressive job. Wolf Child The Year of the Wolf, Book 1 By: Serena Akeroyd Narrated by: Brooke Bloomingdale, J.F. I maaaaiiiiyyy have listened to too many YA books thanks to my being a bit lazy and in following audible suggestions recently, so thank you Serena Akeroyd for showing up in my suggestions but presenting mature and adult landscapes on all levels. I enjoyed the balance between all elements - the story, the characters, the romance, the inner world/psychologies of the characters, the sex scenes, the action and oh my god I cannot express strongly enough how refreshing it was to deal with emotionally mature characters - females who didn’t freak out, resist their ‘fate’, doubt their abilities, worthiness or sexuality and men who embodied a delicious mix of masculine energie’d strength, love, lust AND vulnerability. Romance full stop, more or less paranormal romance, is a genre that’s all new to me and I have to say that this book grabbed my attention from the beginning, and held it until the end of the second book. First paranormal romance and I totally dug it.
