Publisher's summary

My whole world changed when I stepped inside the academy. Nothing is right about this place or the other students in it. Here I am, a mere mortal among gods...or monsters. I still can't decide which of these warring factions I belong to, if I belong at all. I only know the one thing that unites them is their hatred of me.

Then there's Jaxon Vega. A vampire with deadly secrets who hasn't felt anything for a hundred years. But there's something about him that calls to me, something broken in him that somehow fits with what's broken in me.

Which could spell death for us all.

Because Jaxon walled himself off for a reason. And now someone wants to wake a sleeping monster, and I'm wondering if I was brought here intentionally—as the bait.

Adapted from the novel and produced with a full cast of actors, immersive sound effects and cinematic music.

Performed by Melody Muze, Wyn Delano, Yenn Ann, Anthony Palmini, Julienne Irons, Gabriel Michael, Eric Messner, Melody Muze, Alejandro Ruiz, Aure Nash, Bradley Foster Smith, Chris Stinson, Colleen Delany, David Cui Cui, Donald Guzzi, Drew Kopas, Karen Novack, Megan Hastie, Michael John Casey, Nora Achrati, Robb Moreira, Scott McCormick, Steve Wannall, Sura Sui, Tia Shearer, and Yasmin Tuazon.

Voices were distracting

I love this series and got so excited when I saw they were doing a graphic audio version! The only things that kept bothering me were some of the voices. Macys voice didn’t fit, I kept having to lower the volume cause the high pitch in her voice kept hurting my ears. Also she sounded too childish. Jaxon I tried to get over ass well, he sounds like a full grown man rather than a teenager. I hope the graphic audio gets better and it makes me worried for who is going to voice Hudson. Cause if the voice actor for Hudson doesn’t do a great job I don’t think I’ll be able to finish listening to the rest of the series :(

A cool addition to a book I already love

I am, for some reason, completely obsessed with this series and have no problem listening to the entire thing and then immediately listening to it again.
This was a cool way to have some thing I already love, but have a little variation.

I do miss the original audio actor as I have listened so many times that she really is the voice of Grace but this one was fine too. Some of the other voices not so much. The voice of Macy is very annoying. And the voice of Jackson sounds like a 50-year-old guy pretending to be a high school kid. I think they missed the mark there.

I expected more noises honestly. There was some footsteps and an unfortunate moment of throwing up but otherwise it was just kind of some low music in the background. Maybe if they continue to remake all of the books with this graphic option there will be more sounds during other books that have a bit more action.

Voices didnt seem right for some characters

These are some of my favorite books and I loved some other dramatized book adaptions so wanted to give this one a try.

The narrator is great, but I really didn't feel like they got the right voice actors for Jaxon's or Macy's characters in particular. Jaxon sounds way too old and Macy sounds kinda like a whiny over exaggerated valley girl. I had just listened to the dramatized version of the ACOTAR series and think they did a bang up job on nailing those characters, so it was a little difficult at times to connect to a couple of the ones with this book version because some of the voices just didn't seem to fit the characters very well. I was taken aback by Leah's voice too because she sounded way older too.

Overall I still do like the dramatized version, it's fun to listen to. I just had a hard time connecting to some of of the characters because the voices didnt match very well to me. I'm really crossing my fingers that Hudson's voice character doesn't disappoint!

Dramatized version made plot better

I wasn’t a huge fan of reading the book but love when graphic audio releases dramatized adaptations. I was excited because I saw familiar narrators that did ACOTAR. Graces narration was great BUT I could NOT get over the narrator for Jaxon. The males voice just did not fit a teenage vampire voice it was soooo disturbingly inaccurate that it made it hard to listen to. And don’t get me started on the narrator for Macy. It was irritating nasally voice

loved the adaptation

loved how I was instantly sucked in as if I was watching a movie

Just couldn’t get over Macys voice and how much this read like twilight

The most annoying voice on this earth has been casted for Macy. I won’t be purchasing part 2. Got through this barely. My ears are bleeding. Storyline is okay. It’s a cross breed vampire diaries and twilight. It’s been over done as is. The abdications like fml just sound childish in a book. Just wasn’t my cup of tea.

Fun story

I love graphic audio, but they kind of missed the mark with this one. There weren’t many background noises some snow crunching footsteps and music. Not really what I’ve come to expect… One positive is I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE the voice for Jaxson Vega! Huge negative that will make me not want to re-listen to this one is Macy’s voice… I hope I NEVER again have to listen to a book with Macy in it.

I haven’t never ending Hope that graphic audio will record the Forever Evermore series by Scarlett Dawn and please please please put Jaxson Vega’s voice for Ezra!!!!

Pretty good

It’s hard not to think I’m just listening to Feyre from ACOTAR. Good production though

ACOTAR Dramatized actors playing teens

I liked it once I got my mind to forget that the actors who played Feyre Helion and Rhysand are now acting characters in this story. Loved the books.

Kind of annoying

If I hear the word Alaska one more time. We get it. It’s like a similar storyline so far to Twilight. Also the cousins voice is annoying, and hard to listen to.
