Der Drachen-Formwandler Maalik will sich nicht mit einer menschlichen Frau paaren. Das ist ein Tabu unter den Drachen. Doch er kann der antiken Kraft, die in seinem Körper pulsiert nicht widerstehen, sowie dem Bedürfnis, mit Cora eins zu werden und ihr Schicksal zu erfüllen. Er muss sie zu seiner Partnerin machen, bevor ihnen die Zeit ausgeht .
I listened to the audiobook version of this story.
Let me start by saying the fact this audiobook was only 2 ½ hours didn’t help. I made it through an hour before I gave up—there were several reasons as to why. First the story itself, well I didn’t like the author’s writing style. This style consisted of “telling” the reader what was happening instead of letting the reader “experience” it while the characters experienced it. There was very little dialogue between character, although that relates back to how the story was written. For example, Malik went over to her and looked into her eyes, then he went back to his seat. He considered if he should talk to her or just leave. He decided he was going to leave. Second, going back to the story itself and the way it was written, it just didn’t call to me. I love supernatural stories but this wasn’t a good one.
The narrator, lord help me but the guy is a goof! Sorry, Mr. Narrator but that’s the adjective that comes to mind. My personal opinion is that you don’t have the right type of voice to be doing audiobooks. Has anyone seen Stuart the guy from SNL that does the “Look what I can do?” You can find him here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85bvY...
As soon as I heard the narrator’s voice, especially when he did the main female character, well it just wasn’t going to work for me. LOL I'm pretty sure this story wasn't supposed to be a comedy.
Needless to say, I wouldn't recommend this author or the narrator. Sorry.

Carino ma troppo breve per schivare inevitabili buchi di trama e ista-love da brivido XD Apprezzo comunque lo sforzo dell'autrice nell'essere riuscita addirittura ad infilare una coppia secondaria in una manciata di pagine XD Più che il protagonista (che mi è sembrato un po' troppo debole caratterialmente per essere un nobile drago) mi hanno intrigato molto i personaggi di Alister e Baye e vorrei tanto leggere la loro storia (magari con qualche pagina in più!) XD
